Take that up with MacArthur. If he were still around today and saw what Shinzo Abe was up to when it came to not only trying to scrap Article 9 but also trying to reinstitute State Shinto, you wouldn’t be able to get him off the cable news channels with his sounding of the alarm. He didn’t say “We have had our last chance” for no reason, and if we blow that, all bets are off the table.
State Shinto might not be a bad thing if it were aimed West of them. East or South, not so much.
