They are also a rapidly aging population and shrinking population as it is. If they just throw a bunch of people into an army and lost a bunch of them - their problems gets worse.
And yes - they should admit to what they did, but in the grand scheme of things - it doesn't matter that much. As we've seen in the US - it doesn't take a heck of a lot for people to decide that something they've always valued (fair democratic elections) to something they don't care about.

I admire Japanese culture so I hate that it seems like I'm piling on, but whatever a zillion man army can do, a few thousand well trained soldiers with the best tech can do even better. And if Japan is known for anything, its advanced tech.
Anyway this thread is about Shinzo Abe.
