THAT was the point, to neuter the Japanese as much as possible because they fought so viciously and to the last when possible. They STILL don't have a full military because Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution not only forbids the use of force as a means to settling international disputes but also forbids Japan from maintaining an army, navy or air force.....Guess who wrote that constitution, General MacArthur.
