Toshio Tamogami
General is a Japanese Air Self-Defense Force career military officer. He served as the Chief of Staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force from March 2007 until he was fired from the position in October 2008 for publicly justifying Japan's wartime aggression throughout Asia.
==JASDF career==
Tamogami graduated from the National Defense Academy of Japan in 1971 with a major in electrical engineering. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1986, colonel in 1990, and major general in 1996. He was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed Head of the Joint Staff College on December 2, 2002, and appointed to Commander in Chief of the Air Defense Command on August 30, 2004. He was promoted to general and appointed Chief of Staff of the Air Self-Defense Force on March 28, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.toshio-tamogami.jp/greet/career.html )〕
A member of the openly revisionist organization Nippon Kaigi,〔"(Japanese comfort- women deniers force White House response )" - - Foreign Policy - June 6, 2012〕 Tamogami gained attention in the press for a number of outspoken remarks in the latter days of his career. On the occasion of an unsuccessful civil case brought against the government for sending troops to Iraq, he remarked that he felt some of the activities of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force were against Japan's peace constitution, causing the litigants to claim a moral victory. On 14 July 2004, when questioned further about this supposed 'unconstitutionality' of the Air Self-Defense Force, he said his opinion should not distress its members since (quoting the catch phrase of Yoshio Kojima, a popular comedian) "what does that matter?" At a semi-political meeting on the 15 September 2004, he said that he felt that it would probably be necessary for Japan to develop nuclear arms in order to be seen as an independent nation by China, and that promising never to develop nuclear arms is "foolish." After the furor created by his essay and dismissal, he was asked by a British journalist on 1 December 2008 whether he would have used nuclear arms against America in 1945; he responded he "might have considered using nuclear weapons against the United States had he been a general for a nuclear-capable Japan in 1945, especially if it was a case of nuking in response to the threat of American nuclear weapons."〔(Tamogami says he would nuke America )〕〔Yoshida, Reiji, and Jun Hongo, "(Tamogami — history again retold )", ''Japan Times'', 11 November 2008, p. 2.〕 Tamogami claims that other members of the Japanese government and military share his views.〔Hongo, Jun, "(Tamogami says views shared in Diet, SDF )", ''Japan Times'', 2 December 2008, p. 2.〕
