【How have the successive cabinets handled the Self Defense Force? 】

《Yoshida who was then the Prime Minister did a 180 interpretation on the Self Defense Force》

How have the successive cabinets spoken on the Self Defense Force? The author said he was going to look back it on the history.

While the amendment on the constitution of the Empire of Japan was discussed in the National Assembly which means the Full House of Representatives, Yoshida Shigeru who was then the Prime Minister spoke on the passage that explicitly renounce to state the rights to wage war written on the 9 article.

We the Japanese don’t allow any of armament and the right of belligerency 交戦権, so we abandon the war as activation as for the self defense force and the right of belligerency on the 9 article on the constitution.

He denied the right of self defense force of war potential defending its own war for itself, but MacArthur who was the supreme commander in GHQ announced the interpretation permitting the right of belligerency for the first time, Yoshida said like the next.

Devoting ourselves to the right of belligerency doesn’t always mean that we abandon the right of self defense. Yoshida did a 180 and denied his own remarks altogether.

《The meaning on the war potential by the successive cabinets which are changing》

After that the definition on the war potential described on the 9 article in the constitution by the successive cabinets changed several times. The Self Defense-Force changed from the National Police Reserve to Security Force in 1952, after that Yoshida defined the war…

…after that Yoshida defined the war it was the useful one which prepared and organization for accomplishing the war of modern age in 1952.

In short, the Yoshida Cabinet said the Security Force didn’t have enough war potential that Japan could maintain it.

After twenty years passed in 1972, the security force has developed into the Self Defense Force and its equipment becomes full and having battle-planes and being able to fight in the war of modern age, Kakuei Tanaka changed the definition on the war potential then.

《The meaning of the war potential on the successive cabinets which is changing》

Tanaka didn’t say on the definition on the war potential it was useful for accomplish the war of modern age. One of his cabinet members said the viewpoint on then the government like the next.

If seeing the war potential from different perspective, it’s the potential which accomplish the war literally, so it means all the power organization is equal to the war potential.

The 9 article in the constitution forbids to maintain the war potential…

【How have the successive cabinets handled the Self Defense Force?】

…so every kind of war potential is beyond minimum necessary.

One of the Tanaka’s cabinet members said like that, after that the Self Defense Force isn’t expressed as war potential but the real ability which is minimum necessary for self defense, but after 30 years passed then the Koizumi Prime Minister said like the next May in 2002.

As to the Self Defense Force, we must not hold any kind of war potential as interpretation on the constitution, but do the Japanese nation think the Self Defense Force isn’t the war potential?

If the Self Defense force isn’t the military force then, there is a possibility he is shot dead on the spot as a murderer, so the successive cabinets used to say it was considered as the military force for overseas, on the other hand, it used to say the Self Defense Force wasn’t the military force in Japan until now.

There used to be three way of thinking on the constitution and the Self Defense Force.

The first one is that the Self Defense Force existed under the interpretation on the 9 article on the constitution, so we don’t have to do anything special on the Self Defense Force.

The second one is that the Self Defense Force is inconsistent with the constitution, so we should revise the constitution.

《The real intention on the remark of making Japan be burned to the ground》

Japan should exclude the base on the U.S.Army from Japan. Without doing them, in the time of emergency, there is a possibility that the whole Japan is burned to the ground before America.

It’s a radical expression. Without hesitating at all, the North Korea will attack Japan.

On the other hand, there is the analysis that the way of saying on the North Korea is like that. It’s just that it said Japan not to cooperate with America.

【Is the uncontrollable North Korea going to attack Japan? Its real ability】

Its real intention is not wanting Japan to join force with America. We can interpret like that, but having said the radical remark to us like that, our fear increases, especially missile has been launched overhead Japan Island so often lately, and sixth nuclear test was done September in 2017.

The third is the nuclear weapon which is the most terrible military power. The North Korea made a nuclear test six times in the past. Two times in the Kim Jong ll, and four times in Kim Jong un who controls the North Korea at present.

Why has the North Korea made the nuclear test? Its big reason is making the nuclear weapon small size so as to attach the nuclear weapon to the warhead of the missile, so it’s repeated the experiment over and over again.

In the next the military base belongs to the U.S.Army in Japan. If thinking of it like that, the order of priority concerning Japan is lower rank.
