They are right. War is insanity. It accomplishes nothing but tragedy for the vast majority of people who get involved in it. With the only exception of a tiny minority who are either completely insane, consumed with greed or both.
I thought Japan had learned from its experience in WWII, but with people like Abe around, it doesn't seem so.

Agreed. People who wants war now are the descendant of the same people who made a fortune during the last WWII, this is only about their wallet and greed, the people of Japan does not want war, nobody wants.

These activists need to go to the ISIS caliphate cities of Raqqa and Mosul to impart their message to ISIS. No belay that, they would get their heads chopped off!

You are absolutely right ! But for people who are themselves too old to be drafted and/or who don't have any children of their own, they're just not able to think very far...

That one Japanese guy is very tall maybe 6 foot or taller. Would make a great walking billboard for this group.

Sadly it takes two sides to agree on this..otherwise Japan would have been invaded and conquered long ago...and today and now are no different. When China decides to live peacefully with its neighbors and the insane radicals of Arab persuasion lay down their angry bombs then we can all embrace peace and bury our tools of defense. I am no more a supporter of violence than anyone..but sadly bullies love non violence and flourish in it. Liberal dreams and fantasies have brought our world to its knees once again in modern life..and once again will have to learn the tough truth about reality. Freedom is not free. there is a cost. Hopefully it is defense by a sane and intelligent decent culture....not offense.. But Defense IS needed. Thank God Abe and many wise modern Japanese understand this.

When will you send the first blue helmets and put an end to this naive political education of the ordinary citizen?
Just pay money and be protected from the rest of the world by a superpower?
Still afraid of your own judgement it seems.

War (Good God!)... What is it good for?

It doesn't matter, Abe won't listen. If you don't want war, stop voting people like him into power.

you can't want peace AND vote LDP.
