does it make sense to have another article for the Japanese Self Defence Forces? Wouldn't be link to Military of Japan smarter? --zeno 06:44 Jan 7, 2003 (UTC)

Article 9 is heavily debated and needs an Article all in itself, linking Japanese Constitution, Occupied Japan, Japanese militarism, Self-Defense Forces and whatnot. Just leave it as it is. -- Mkill 18:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

The official basis of "Self Defence" force is that it is somewhat an extension of police. Japanese govenment has never made claim that the article 9 allow use of "military force" in case of national defence. Yoji Hajime 00:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency

I moved the article from "Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan" to "Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution". It was for consistency with Articles 14 and 24 which are both named the same way. I hope this doesn't create a problem. If you feel I have renamed the wrong one and that Articles 14 and 24 should be renamed instead, I have no problem with that. -- TheSlyFox 07:22, 9 August 2006
