Dokdo War Games?

I wonder if the fact the US Marines are training Japanese soldiers in amphibious warfare tactics will be twisted to mean that the US is training the Japanese military to attack Dokto?:

Japanese soldiers left for the United States on Tuesday to conduct training with the US Marines simulating the recapture of an island from enemies, an official said. It will be the first joint war game between the allies premised on an invasion of an isolated island off Japan, an official of Japan’s Defense Agency said on customary condition of anonymity.

About 125 troops from Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in California will hold month long exercises at Camp Pendleton, Calif., according to the defense official. In the scenario, soldiers will infiltrate a captured island by boat and retake it after exchanging fire with the enemy, the official said, though no live ammunition will be used during the exercise.

The Japanese media is reporting that the exercise is in preparation of a Chinese attack on the remote southern Japanese islands:

Local media reports have said the joint exercise is aimed at showing a military “presence” in small southwestern Japanese islands off Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu in view of China’s military expansion in recent years. The official said he could not comment on those reports.

Rest easy Koreans, I don’t think there is an invasion fleet in the world that can defeat the Army of drunk ajummas that visit that island.
