    You might want to recheck your sources - Japan's military spending on the Self Defense Force is second only to China out of the Asian countries. It's most certainly not "a 1000 person National Guard".

    (If you want hard figures, according to the SDF's page, the budget for military spending for this year was 4,926,500,000,000 yen, which at the current exchange rate is 41,852,858,368 US dollars - not exactly peanuts.)
