"the real reason we’re there is because Japan’s Prime Minister"
How old are you, anyway......
The reason we’re there is because Japan did some pretty bad things with their military power and the world (not Bush, not the current PM) demanded that they disarm. The alternative is that Japan builds up their own military again. I would rather my tax dollars not be spent defending Japan, but even China and North Korea would rather the US be there than Japan start building again.
Sure, the young in Japan want us out...just as the Soviets re-wrote history, Japan ignores it. All they would have to do is amend their constitution to allow a military build-up, establish a military, then ask the US to leave. It’s all up to them.
