Axed ASDF chief offers no apology

Sacked Air Self-Defense Force chief Gen. Toshio Tamogami defended his nationalist essay on Nov. 3, claiming his justification of the war Japan waged in the last century was intended to instill the country and its people with a sense of confidence.

In his first public appearance since being sacked over the essay, Tamogami reiterated his view that Japan was not an aggressor nation and that the people have been misled by erroneous education.

Earlier in the day, Tamogami retired from the ASDF after 37 years in the Self-Defense Forces. His essay, which cost him his career, justified Japan's invasion of Asia. (The Japan Times)
