As a "tankie", if I had to choose one or the other between "Japan grows military" vs "US stays occupying Japan," the answer is absolutely the first one being preferable. However, as any of those dang tankies will point out, the two are not mutually exclusive. Japan can develop its own military while the US maintains its occupation, just look at the miserable state of South Korea.
They arent mutually exclusive, but absolutely one or the other are required. You can't have neither.
