But that is exactly why she was chosen. There are many groups in Japan who still distrusts their own military outright, as the whole point with WW2 was how the military assassinated civil leaders and took power. You are assuming the Japanese are interested in a "strong leader" for their military, when it is just as likely that the position would be filled by someone who was meant to keep the military handicapped.
