但日本自卫队的装备精良程度在世界排名第六，还在去年获得了近600亿美元国防预算，绝不是由一般的防卫警察组成。“至今，日本仍享受着孤立主义者的身份，”日本前防卫顾问、现任政策研究大学院大学（National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies）安全和国际项目主任的道下德成说。“这非常便利，我们不需要卷进任何冲突。但现在美国想让日本扮演更加主动的角色。”

Japan's ruling party, the LDP, acknowledge this. "They know we have to be commensurate with our stature as an economic superpower," he adds. "The U.S. is asking us to be more proactive in, not rearming, but making use of those arms."

日本的执政党自民党（LDP）承认了这一点。“他们知道我们必须和日本经济强国的身份相匹配，”他补充说。“美国要求我们能更主动，不是去重建军队，而是把现有部队用起来。”

Now that the LDP's conservatives are returned to power, including their hawkish prime minister Shinzo Abe, they are demanding a change in the pacifist constitution which would chime in nicely with the U.S.'s desires in the region. Not that Japan is truly pacifist, or ever has been -- not with one of the best-trained forces in the word says Michishita. "We are not passive in that sense. We supported all the U.S. wars, contributing $30 billion to the Gulf war. Japan isn't remilitarizing -- we are already there."
