Of course I am, as long as it makes you feel good keep labeling and passing judgments, good luck to you, yuck.

keep labeling and passing judgments
Labels and judgments like this? "misguided barely adults" or "to become a soldier is pretty much the dumpiest thing you can do with your life," you f-ing hypocrit?
Do you know what labeling or passing judgments means ?
Are Japanese able to defend themselves in case of North Korean attack? They now have an army, they have war ships, they also have the anti-missile system and the nuclear bomb.....
Unless you watched the news in 1945 or so, you wouldn't see it too much on TV.Im sad that so many ppl voted "yes"
Im american and I always though japan had a good relationship with america
I am going to say something RLY ignorant here....
why are we in japan again?
sorry, I never watch the news, its depressing
Unless you watched the news in 1945 or so, you wouldn't see it too much on TV.
Think WWII, national security, defenses overseas, treaties, allies, etc.
No, that's not what I wrote, but I still agree with your statement.Are you saying that the atom bombs are still effecting Japanese opinion of americans today?
Are you saying that the atom bombs are still effecting Japanese opinion of americans today? We all know that there would have been massive casualties on either side if there was a full scale assault on japan.
sucks though, war is so sad.
What a horrible thing to say. Why are you justifying the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent civillians? The war was pretty much close to its end, and yes there would have been more casualties if the war carried on. Those casualties would have been military though, and on both sides.
My personal opinion - AMERICAS PRESENCE IN JAPAN IS NO LONGER NEEDED AND MOST OF ALL UN-WANTED.
I keep seeing comments like its some sort of holiday resort and you would be sad to see the army leave. Would americans like the same? Can i sit inside a base with machine guns, and go out at night harrassing you?
If the purpose of the alliance is to "defend Japan", how can that in any way be construed as an equal alliance? A normal alliance is based on mutual protection. This alliance is not. We "protect" Japan so that it doesn't fall into the hands of our enemies. If Japan wants an equal alliance than it needs to elevate the alliance to mutual protection. A democratically elected government of Japan made the agreement to realign US forces. If the DPJ wants to welch they have that right but they must accept the consequences. Goverments change all the time in the US but that doesn't mean all deals are off. If Japan doesn't think it is more worthwhile to keep the US in the context of defender, they need to find a new powerbroker friend in the region.
Japan is a weak country, so no one respects it. Russia continues to occupy Japan's northern islands. China encroaches oil fields on the Japanese side of the Japan Sea. North Korea kidanps Japanese citizens. And the great ally doesn't lift a finger to help.
The US and Japan do have common interests in keeping US forces in the theatre, but it part of a "grand strategy" at containment, not some altruistic mission to only "defend Japan."Japan is a weak country, so no one respects it. Russia continues to occupy Japan's northern islands. China encroaches oil fields on the Japanese side of the Japan Sea. North Korea kidanps Japanese citizens. And the great ally doesn't lift a finger to help. Rather, it makes demands for more cooperation in the ally's interest. Whatr kind of equal alliance is this?
Time for Japan to become a normal country, a strong country. Then no one will take anything from it. Or make unfair demands on it.
Japan is a weak country, so no one respects it. Russia continues to occupy Japan's northern islands. China encroaches gas fields on the Japanese side of the Japan Sea. North Korea kidnaps Japanese citizens. And the great ally doesn't lift a finger to help.
Just because Japan doesn't lash out at every provocation doesn't mean it is a weak country.
For instance, Israel. Every time a rocket is fired into a settlement, the IDF initiate aggressive military responses, far outweighing the level of the initial enemy attack. What does this achieve? Escalated conflict.
Japan's international stance is a balance between a desire to correct what it sees as 'wrongs' (the northern Islands, Dokdo, the oilfields, etc) and its World #2 economic status. To overtly challenge the status quo would inevitably devastate its regional and global economic position.
