A quite simlar article could be written about Japan, which was unilaterally demilitarized following WWII and is just now -- like Germany -- investing in upgrading and expanding its military capabilities.  Of course, any mention of these two former enemies raises American hackles. But WWII is long ago and far away, and ti Germany's credit (but not yet Japan) it has atoned for the inhumanity of the Third Reich.  Many Americans still want to honor the Confederacy.
