I wonder why no one ever considers what the US would think of Japan repealing
Article IX completely. I have a small hunch there are a great number of people
in the US government who would soundly applaud it.

Japan's own citizens, having been taught for the past 50 years that Japan's
military forces are naught much more than a glorified Peace Corps, would
probably riot in response, but there you go.
