ASAKA, Japan - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe renewed his pledge Sunday to push for a revision to the country's war-renouncing constitution, in which he wants the military explicitly mentioned.
Speaking before a field of about 4,000 troops, Abe said that a revision is needed to give his troops sense of pride.
“You have gained public trust with your own hands,” Abe, wearing a tuxedo, told the troops in his address. “Now it's time to fulfil our responsibility as politicians to accommodate an environment where all Self-Defence Force can accomplish their duties with sense of pride.”
