Why doesn't the USA withdraw its military forces from Japan? Why not let Japan re-militarize and handle its own national defense?

Its funny, most people in the country had that exact isolationist mentality when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

I guess that just goes to show that history inevitably repeats itself.

Hope that helps.

Japan needs us to counterbalance China in the Pacific Rim.

I think the Japanese should buy 2 nuclear air craft carriers from the USA. I don't know how good Japan's sub's are, but maybe we could sell them a few Los Angeles class attack subs, too.

Japanese ship building is state of the art. Maybe they can build their own air craft carriers.

As long as the situation in that part of the world remains tenuous, both the US and the Japanese agree that they need our help to protect the area.

japan can do what ever they want

the US doesn't stop them from having an army

Why do you hate the Japanese?
