Japan set for landmark easing of constitutional limits on military

Japan set for landmark easing of constitutional limits on military
Japan is poised for a historic shift in its defense policy by ending a ban that has kept the military from fighting abroad since World War Two, a major step away from post-war pacifism and a big political victory for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The change will significantly widen Japan's military options by ending the ban on exercising "collective self-defense", or aiding a friendly country under attack.
