*facepalm* they do have an Army you, idiot.

If anything Japan is almost impossble to invade now. They have a powerful Navy and Airforce and is defended by America if anyone attacks them.

They do have armies. Japan has the JDF and Germany has the Bundeswehr. However, like many nations, they're not complete armies in and of themselves. They assume aid from the US in any conflict.

While that may seem unreasonable at first glance, it's actually pretty rational. As a matter of course, the US maintains a roughly 2.5:1 strength ratio over its nearest competitors, Russia and China. That way, even if our biggest competitors team up to try to take us down, they're already at a disadvantage before allies are factored in.

To the US government, which has always expanded military spending under any party for the past half-century, sees this as reasonable because we'd rather that our enemies fight economic battles than military ones. I'm not saying the US always uses military force wisely, but the general strategy is sound.

Meanwhile, our allies are freed from maintaining the larger militaries they would otherwise need, which promotes more spending in productive civilian economies, which benefits us as we trade with them, which gives us more money to spend on military technology and armaments.

Or so the theory goes.

Germany has an army. It's called the Bundeswehr - consisting of Heer (Army), Marine (Navy) and Luftwaffe (Airforce). Japan has self-defense force or, Rikujō Jieitai as they call it.

Sorry... I'm a very blunt person but don't take it as an insult. That's just how I reply to things.

For example.... if you say "my parents died" I'll probably reply back with "wow, that sucks".
But it doesn't mean I don't care about your parents.
