#8 Why shouldn't Japan pay for its own defense?

Why shouldn't we go even further and make a profit on defending other countries? After all, we're a sucker to do at our own expense. Our money can be much better spent at home where our own people can benefit. We spend trillions defending the borders of other countries but cannot defend our own.

#9 Are you suggesting we mercenary our armed forces for profit, as a national industry and policy, with the government as a business?

Gotta hand it to you Herb, that's quite Hessian.
