I lived in Japan for two years and that's what I was told too.
Also, their constitution, in a brilliant stroke of genius, limits the cost of SDF to 2 percent of GDP.
Anybody who's studied even cursorily the history of Japan would never encourage that country to re-militarize. It is like giving arms to Al-Qaeda to fight the Russians. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I'm not saying we're so much better, but the one difference is a value in diversity that Japanese society (and they will tell you this) lacks. They value conformity, not diversity, more than probably any other modern country in the world.
This is what unstoppable armies are made of--think of The Borg, dudes, and be afraid, be very afraid.
