Okinawa plays host to the bulk of the roughly 50,000 U.S.    military personnel based in Japan.    North Korea fired a series of short-range missiles following its nuclear test    and reports on Saturday said it appeared to be preparing to launch a    long-range missile. Anxiety over Pyongyang's intentions has sparked calls    for Japan to develop the capability to strike at enemy bases in the event of    an imminent attack, despite its pacifist constitution. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/us-deploy-jets-as-north-korea-tensions-rise-1693268.html" target="_blank">independent</a><img src="http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/military/f22/images/c12-27428-3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
