JAPAN does NOT have a military, and most of their people DON'T LIKE WAR.
(HAving most of your cities razed from the air, and two destroyed by one
bomb EACH does do this.)

Oh... Then you mean the JSDF is inexistant? Oh, then their several Kongou class
DDG are also inexistant. And their FSX (their version of the F16) are also inexistant?
Before you say something that stupid, why don't you dig up some info on this
matter? The Japanese HAVE military, and they are well equipped. They are, however,
only for self-defence.

Plus Japan does NOT have Nukes, and is very leery about even thinking about
them.

I wouldn't be so sure of that...

Too many problems with this fic to make it belivable.
(The USN now could wipe out the SDJN in about three days of stragiht
combat.)

Oh, really? You do need to dig up some info...

Also, if the US was pushed to the wall, don't think we wouldn't punch out
Japan OR Germany, using nukes.  plus Britan, France, Russia all would nuke
Germany if they got back out of line.  Like I said, too many problems.
(With Nukes in the world, most major wars are right out.  Why do you think
that the Old Sov Union never TRIED to attack NATO? They weren't sure that
the US WOULDN'T nuke them, or Britan or France.)

About this, I do agree.

Oh, I forgot. China.  They wouldn't even wait a day if Japan attacked. They
WOULD raze Japan to the ground using nukes, and ALL of theirs CAN reach.

Yup. But then again, Japan does NOT (in reality) have an army capable of
attacking much of anything outside their borders. So they wouldn't even consider
attacking Mainland China unless they were mad.
