According to Japan's own constitution their military isn't supposed to be used for anything but "self defense". That's why it's called the "Self Defense Force". Though some folks have a more liberal interpretation of "self defense" than others...

There are a lot of people who haven't forgotten about imperial Japan. And that's from a western source, just imagine what China had to say about it...
