Nice job by the author. He can freely unleash WMD fantasies against that big Asian mainland blob while avoiding morale issues because he engineers it as a self-defense action, without even the need to explain it other than "they are an evil invader".
No wonder do some Koreans and Chinese who take fiction too seriously condemn Mahouka for being right-wing nationalistic.

That's not really the wording of article 9, although the existence of the JSDF alone kind of indirectly violates the strict wording:
Quote:

ARTICLE 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. (2) To accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

And by the way, although we are drifting away from the topic, I don't think there is a sure-fire majority among the population for a change of article 9.
