True..
The differnce is that the Japanese constitution forbids them from opening fire on anyone... basically... if fired upon they cannot return fire without government approval.... it is in the consititution.
That is why they do not do many peacekeeping missions....
But... the new prez Abe and the old one Koizumi (sp?) were both working hard to try and move them away from that.....
Quite frankly... this whole NK thing has me concerned.... mostly about the remilitarization of the entire Asian area.... including Japan .. and the increase of a military in China... I worry about China's allegiance in this issue.
