Yeah, as the article states the consititution has to be dealt with first as it's basically written that Japan will have no military of any sort. However, if they can shift away from this policy and get a decent military underway going it would take some of the burden of the USA as they are somewhat bound by treaty to protect Japan...

Japan has a great military and spends one of the larger sums in the world on weaponry.
Its called a "Self Defence Force" though and the stickler in the constitution is prohibitions on ranging beyond the home islands.
