Former Japanese army member criticizes security bills

Retired Ground Self-Defense Force member Takanari Suenobu says he is against a government-sponsored package of national security bills in an interview in Otofuke, Hokkaido Prefecture, northern Japan, on July 17, 2015. He said "there is no 'rear' or 'front' in the battlefield," warning against the legislation that would give the Self-Defense Forces a greater role in overseas activities at the risk of its logistics support being endangered by enemy attacks.
