Sometimes civilian speaks more aggressively & loudly than military about the national defense

In the early 1900's, Japanese academic authority presented its opinion to the government, saying Japan should fight Russia, while the government was still unsure about winning the war.

One day, before the war, when the diplomatic process was still active between Japan & Russia, several intellectuals visited General Oyama Iwao (the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese armies in Manchuria at Russo Japanese War) to express necessity of the war against Russia.
After the meeting, he said to his wife " today I met three idiots."

In the 1940's, the diplomatic process was still active between Japan & US, some newspaper said
" Prime minister Tojo Hideki is coward".

Below materials are from the early 1930's.  Although the government & military actually knew US & its allies could be Japan's hypothetical enemies, they tried to avoid a conflict with the West, seeking for the West's understanding toward what Japan was doing in China.
While government was trying to manage the situation carefully, the civilian spoke loud about the national defense, which one could be enemies, and what to do to face them.
These materials (postcards & flyers) were all published by civilian organizations.

Below materials show military power comparison between the world powers, implying "Japan should be stronger".
