^ Yes. facts I know.

The constitution is the only argument you put forth. That can be amended.

You didn't answer my question: "Why is it silly for Japan to have it's own military?"

This is what you stated:
you stated history of Japans rampage. someone already stated that before you. I argued that it's irreverent today.

you stated the constitution. I addressed that above

you stated economics. half the cost. It's still our choice to amend the constitution.

you stated people don't want change. some one already gave that argument. opinions can change, If the people want it, will it be OK?.

you stated, china might become dangerous. yes. Still that's our choice and it has nothing to do with Japanese military bases.

Let me place more focus on question:
" If the Japanese people voted to change the constitution so Japan can have a military again." is there anything objectionable about that?
