No, defensive isn`t quite the right word. Exasperated is more accurate.　There are countless people who feel that even in my situation, there is nothing that could justify giving up US citizenship for that of Japan.

Well that's a bit ridiculous i would think. If you live in Japan with no desire or plans of ever returning to the US, what exactly would it benefit you to keep it? I understand the feeling though. I'm basically going through the same thing right now. I'm a dual national with my 22nd birthday coming up and legally I have to pick one or the other. People think I'm crazy when they hear my intentions of giving up my US citizenship.
