Due to dangerous neighbors such as North Korea, Russia and Imperialistic China, this becomes very important. Japan has, like any other country, every right to posses a Normal Army.

It is becoming ever clearer that the next world or regional war will be instigated by Chinese aggression toward Taiwan and most likely Japan. There is no other reason for China's military buildup. Nobody threatens them. They are simply expansionist and seeking raw materials. Does this sound familiar? Sorry, but the SDF IS weak and puny compared to Japan’s neighbors.

Japan compares her non-nuclear arsenal against that of China’s 150, North Korea’s 5 and South Korea’s enriched Uranium (IAEA’s report 2004). While there is speculation that the US houses mid-range nuclear weapons on bases within Japan, it is clean Japan has no control of the deployment or action of these. I ask of you, the reader, what makes a better argument; history of actions more than 60 years ago or the current state of being? Should Japan start building now, the most they could obtain is slightly defensive status against the unfathomed powers that rise around them.
