U.S. planned to utilize Japan bases in all-out nuclear war

TOKYO, Japan - Copies of declassified U.S. government documents found at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston and the National Archives in Washington. The documents show the United States once considered scaling down its military bases in Japan due to difficulties in deploying nuclear weapons there in 1962, but ditched the idea in case of a nuclear war with its Communist enemies.
