Well there would certainly be a problem stll. First, the Japanese would certainly P.O. the local populace to no end. The fact that they haven't and probably never apologize fully for WWII would certainly make any Japanese mercenaries great targets. If they get captured consider the propaganda coup wherein the NVA parades a Japanese soldier through Hanoi, stating that Americans are supporting Japanese militarism. Remember, most of the victims of Japanese atrocities in China, Indonesia, South Korea, and the Philippines are still alive at this point in history...
As for the Brits, another propaganda coup for the Communist press. All they have to say is that the British want to reestablish an empire, simply citing events in Vietnam, Rhodesia, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt, Argentina, Chile, Northern Ireland et al. As such, you also further destabilize the British government with yet another scandal....
