Especially crazy when you figure that huge amount only represents 1% of GDP, their self emposed limit on spending.

I am thinking this has a lot to do with China's increasing emergence and expectation of hedgemony over the region. There is no way America is going to be interested in protecting Japan long term, they barely can do it now against the FAR inferior N.Korea. Seems like the only option for Japan is to submit to China over the next 100 years or to build a MUCH more significant world presence ASAP....
