I think the Japanese military "rising" up is definitely due to their neighbors next door. That said, it will take a very long time for Japan to develop any sort of legitimate fighting force.
You do raise an interesting point about how Japan has become so beta. When you think about it, it's like welfare in a way: We promised to fight all Japan's battles for them, so why do they need to have a military? I think it would do wonders for many of the Japanese men who have checked out (Herbivores or something like that???).
