Maybe that's par of course with military SF stories?<br /><br />Also, I couldn't believe Japan would have a secret weapon more powerful than anything from the US and China in space, given that the writer stated Japan was still pacifist and armed only for self-defense (of its islands on Earth, presumably). If he used India instead, I'd have no preconceived notion of India's military might in the future and not be bothered by them having superior weaponry.EFWonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802595693863129468noreply@blogger.com
