TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has renewed his pledge to push for a revision to the country’s war-renouncing constitution, in which he wants the military explicitly mentioned.
Abe told Sunday’s annual defense review that a revision is needed to give his troops sense of pride.
Re-elected as head of his ruling party last month and with up to three more years as Japan’s leader, Abe is determined to pursue his long-sought charter amendment.
Many Japanese conservatives see Japan’s U.S.-drafted constitution as a humiliation imposed after their World War II defeat.
Abe wants to add a clause to Article 9 of the constitution, which bans the use of force in settling international disputes. He wants to explicitly permit the existence of Japan’s military, or the Self-Defense Force.
Good, Abe should reinstate Japan’s much feared military to counter balance those aggressive Chinese Communists claims on its delusional “South China Seas” that violate both international boundaries and UN charter law of the seas rights.
Japan’s warriors were and still has the most feared reputation spirit during WWII often fighting to the last man and not surrendering against all odds. Even those lunatic ISIS admired Japan’s kamikaze pilots
