After a year of natural disasters, and hundred of deaths, the japanese government is once again wasting billions on military equipment it doesn't need.
I almost wish I could opt out of paying taxes at this point.

Japan needs its weapons. Recall that there are three countries wishing to settle the score with Japan next door.

Fighting blind doesn't win you the war. A balanced warfighter has good sights, good hearing, good communication, good weapons, and most importantly good food.
E-2D serves as the eyes of the JASDF. Without them JASDF would be fighting near-sighted and that would be the recipe for disaster.

It would be better if the US sold E-3B aircraft to Japan.

That's $3 billion that should have been spent on new ships and missiles and building out Japans native defense industry.
