Sacked ASDF chief retires under age limit
TOKYO, Nov. 3 Kyodo - Toshio Tamogami, who was dismissed last Friday as Air Self-Defense Force chief of staff, retired under the age limit Monday, the Defense Ministry said.
Tamogami, 60, was sacked from his post over a controversial essay denying Japan
waged a war of aggression against other Asian countries before and during World
War II.
The essay examined Japan's wartime policy in China and Korea, then a Japanese
colony, and concluded, ''It is certainly a false accusation to say that our
country was an aggressor nation.''
