[EVENT]Security restrictions on pilots without close family in Japan lifted
After protests within the ranks of the JASDF and other branches of the Self Defense Forces, the Minister of Defense has pressed the Prime Minister to lift restrictions on pilots without family in Japan. This restriction was seen as ridiculous by many, and security experts commented that it was likely to have minimal effect on the chance of defection by pilots.
JSDF pilots that were grounded by this restriction cheered the end of the ridiculous provision, however, the reputation of Prime Minister Niwa has still been tarnished by the whole ordeal.
