The United States stopped telling the Japanese what to do with their military decades ago. The limitations of military operations placed in their constitution 60 years ago by the U.S. are now fiercely defended by the Japanese themselves.

So while we may have "forbidden" them from making an army originally, it is a transformation of their culture rather than outside pressure that makes them an essentially pacifist nation today.
and furthermore they were not forbidden, they forbid it themselves in their constitution. but there only a 'attacking' army is outlawed, thus a 'defence' army is allowed and in operation ever since. they have one of the most modern military on this planet. pardon the bad english
