Once again, this is an example of America's interventionism crippling another country. At the end of WWII, America ensured that Japan would not build a military to defend themselves. Now we're stuck with the job. I say we tell Japan to start building their own army, navy, airforce, etc. and we'll start pulling out. Being intimately familiar with Japanese culture and it's people, I'm sure they'd have a military in no time that could easily defend themselves including nukes. In fact Japan would probably build cheaper, more reliable, and smaller nukes that packed more of a bang.
America's military should not be stationed anywhere on earth but America during times of peace. This would ensure that we'd have a lot more times of peace.
