Should Japan get its full army back? (not only for self defense)

Japan should not have a proper military until it clearly divorces from its military's brutal WW2 past. And that ain't happening. They are still too nationalist and bigoted.
When you have a proper military that can be projected overseas, you tend to project it overseas at some point.

Me too. They're getting uppity. You've convinced me. Let Japan have the right to self-determination by martial means. As long as they attack China within a decade.

Yes to all. Japan was forced into an alliance with ze Nazis by Anglo-American arrogance anyway. They are the best Asians and natural allies.

I reckon the military will only imbue you with a sense of purpose and pride if you're already kind of a nationalist. If you're trying to avoid the uniformed regimented tedium of the office then I highly doubt the uniformed regimented tedium of the army is going to appeal to you much. And the problem with idle youth in East Asia is more due to impossible societal and academic standards, not so much young adults not having anything to do. When your parents judge your entire worth as a human being on your academic achievements, most young people will just stop trying.
Frankly, I think it's rather silly that Japan is limited to having a "self-defense force" more than 70 years after the end of WW2. I assume that nearly every other nation in the world has a military meant to be used for both attack and defense; why shouldn't Japan have one? They should be able to stand on their own two feet. For one reason, because they shouldn't rely on the US to come to their aid should a conflict develop in Asia, and for another, because if they do get drawn into a stupid war somewhere someday, the US shouldn't be obligated get stuck in it, too.

Let the re-armament be done by whomever designed their sentient toilets. See what new technologies they come up with.
I don't really know a lot of details on the Japanese SDF in specific, but it seems a relatively similar situation to Germany. Technically the Bundeswehr is also only to be used in defense, but that hasn't stopped it from being deployed overseas (hilarious excuse for foreign intervention: "sometimes Germany has to be defended at the hindu kush"). Japan has participated in international stuff before, right? Therefore de facto the SDF is the Japanese "full" army.
Firstly, the Japanese Constitution prohibits the deployment of the JSDF outside of Japan and is also the reason why it's called a "Self-Defence Force" and not a military.
Secondly, it already is fairly large and is really well equipped. Despite the name, it is quite capable. Abe has been increasing military budgets for a while now and it shows with the JSDF.
Thirdly, everyone should remember that Japan is far more than just Shinjuku cosplayers or Akihabara nerds. All the weird stuff is exaggerated and amplified - Japan isn't actually crowded with tentacle porn, nor are there vending machines selling used panties on each street corner. While the hikikomori problem does exist, it is a fringe thing. Japanese youth at large are no more inept when it comes to social interactions than their Western counterparts. You morons watch too much ****ty anime.
Fourthly, Japan has not done the same cultural soul-searching that Germany did after WW2. There still exists a strong Nationalistic element in Japanese politics. This is why South-Korea and China and Taiwan and even Philippines are quite vary of the resurgence of militarism and nationalism in Japan. However, the threat should not be exaggerated, as there is a quite strong leftist and pacifist element too, that acts as a counter-balance.
