In response to this question came many replies from both Japan and abroad, which I compiled into 11 statements, in two major groups.
For revision of Article 9
1)Article 9 has brought peace and prosperity to us for the last 60 years. However, today’s world situation suggests that we could become involved in global annihilation. Therefore, perhaps we should prepare for such a crisis by altering Japan’s current legal system. [Jpn.―Self-Defense Force official]
Against revision of Article 9
1)The value of Article 9 has been to stop the return of Japanese militarism. [Jap.]
2) Article 9 has offered reassurance to the countries of Asia and Oceania. [Jpn., Indon.]
3 ) Article 9 has proved that not to spend much on the military leads the country to prosperity. [Jpn.]
4) Article 9 has served as a beacon of hope for a society in which even the weak can live happily. [Am., Jpn.] 5 ) Increases in the military budget threaten our civil rights. [Am., Jpn.]
6 ) If we did not have Article 9, but had conscription, our children would have been sent to battlefields. [Jpn.]
7) NGOs and the Self-Defense Forces were generally welcomed in developing countries. They were able to accomplish their missions because of our constitution that decrees no war. [Jpn.]
8) The trust of the rest of the world will be lost if we revise our constitution in order to participate in any illegal war that might be started by the United States. [Jpn.]
9) By following Article 9, the people of the world can learn to respect life and live together peacefully.[S.Afr.]
10) To revise our constitution and own powerful armaments will bring awful disaster again to the Japanese. [Jpn.]
