常に心のどこかで関心を持っておく

 

自衛隊にしろ政治にしろ、常に心のどこかで関心を持っておくよう心がける。

寡黙になれということではない。

東京裁判史観、自虐史観の中でここまで育ってきたが、いまからでもまだ、間に合う。

やり続けよう。

 

 

吉田茂がかつて自衛官たちに

「君達は自衛隊在職中、決して国民から感謝されたり、歓迎されることなく自衛隊を終わるかもしれない。
きっと非難とか叱咤ばかりの一生かもしれない。御苦労だと思う。
しかし、自衛隊が国民から歓迎されちやほやされる事態とは、
外国から攻撃されて国家存亡の時とか、災害派遣の時とか、 国民が困窮し国家が混乱に直面している時だけなのだ。
言葉を換えれば、君達が日陰者である時のほうが、国民や日本は幸せなのだ。
どうか、耐えてもらいたい。」

と言ったとされています。

 

 

民主主義をよりよいものにするためには
私たちが常に心のどこかで政治への関心を持っておくこと、
常に客観的に賢くあろうとし続けること
そういうことを続けていかなければなりません。

怠ればすぐに民主党政権の悪夢やみずほ銀行の問題のような話に陥ると意識しておく必要があると思います。

We have been brought up in the historical view of the Tokyo Trials and the history of self-mutilation, but there is still time.

But it is still not too late. Let's keep working.

 

 

 

Shigeru Yoshida once told the Self-Defense Forces officers

Yoshida Shigeru once told the Self-Defense Forces officers, "You may end your service in the Self-Defense Forces without ever being thanked or welcomed by the people.
You may end your lives with nothing but criticism and scolding. I think it's a hardship.
But what is the situation where the SDF is welcomed and praised by the people?
But the only time the SDF is welcomed and praised by the people is when the nation is under attack from a foreign country, or when it is dispatched to a disaster area, or when the people are in trouble and the nation is facing chaos.
In other words, the people and Japan are happier when you are in the shadows.
Please bear with us.

It is said that he said, "Please bear with me.

 

 

 

In order to make democracy better
In order to make democracy better, we must always have an interest in politics somewhere in our minds.
We must always try to be objective and wise.
We have to keep doing that.

I think we need to be aware that if we fail to do so, we will soon fall into the nightmare of the Democratic Party of Japan administration and the problems of Mizuho Bank.
