>Rebuild their military and be a dog to America
I mean that's what happened though, and they still continued to be a dog to America to this day

America pressured Japan to create a military force (called the Self-Defense Forces) and to sign a security treaty that allowed U.S. troops to stay on Japanese soil
And the only reason that Japan didn't join the Korean war during that time was because of Politicians like Asanuma who were tired of War and suffered the most because of it

He gained massive attention for leading protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty in 1960's because of his stances
And in 1960 he was killed.

And then Japan created the self-defense force and allowed US troops and Bases on US soil
