The problems which JSDF and U.S. Army in Japan have


This time, I want to introduce about “The Problems related to JSDF and U.S. Army ”
There are some problems about JSDF and U.S. Army. Some of the are known to everyone, and the others are not. I want to introduce such problems.

To begin with, I introduce some problems which are not known generally. The problem JSDF have is mainly the short of the budget and the strength of a troop. Especially the short of JSDF’s budget is very clearly. It is said that “the real enemy of JSDF is Ministry of Finance Japan” 

The half of JSDF’s budget is occupied by the cost of maintenance of their weapon and what is left is labor costs. In short, it is very hard to improve their weapon. It is big problem. As a rule, the weapon is progress rapidly. If the generation is gain one, the tactical value of the weapon changes significantly. For example, the 5th generation fighter F-22 is equal to 120 F-15s, the 4th generation fighter. So not to able to renew weapon means the war potential decline. The main purpose of JSDF is national defense, it can’t be ignored. And the short of strength of a troop is as important as the short of budget. As general, the war can’t be influenced the strength of a troop simply, but if once enemy lands on Japan, the gap of the strength of a troop is very big problem.

Next, what is the problem known to everyone?

Not to say, the problem about the bases of JSDF and U.S. Army. In concrete terms, the noise problem and  the confrontation between them and neighborhood. Recently, the problem about U.S. Army’s  base in Okinawa enlivens public opinion. This problem is very simple in itself, but it is too difficult to solve. The claims of some people who think the base of U.S. Army are as follows: “the local burden” “the crime committed by soldier of U.S. Army”. Medias report the problem every day. The demonstration march which demand to get rid of U.S. Army’s base last year is flesh in my memory. Them, is it right to get rid of the bases from Okinawa? As I claimed in former articles, my answer is “NO”. Specifically “NO”. The reason is as follows. First, about the burden of local people. I think the existence of this problem is true. I think the noise caused by helicopter and fighter and so on may be very noisy. I think there may be some people who fear soldiers. But Okinawa gets the favor equal to their burden. One of it is the compensation. The public facilities in the city which have U.S. Army’s base is very splendid. It doesn’t look like the normal public facilities in an isolated island. All of them are the result of Japanese government’s compensation. And add to it, there are about 500 hundred U.S. Army’s soldier in Okinawa. I take it for granted that we can’t ignore there economic power. If we get rid of all of them, the economy of Okinawa would be broken. U.S. Army in Okinawa contributes the economy of Okinawa. In addition, if we get rid of them from Okinawa, the vulnerable Okinawa would be left. I wonder China neglects Okinawa. I think they wouldn’t neglects Okinawa. Actuary, they claim that Okinawa is Chinese territory. So to defend Okinawa from China, U.S. Army’s base is needed.
