I'm not too clear on this, but what I'm thinking of is:
1. Allowing Japan to eventually have a military, instead of completely forbidding them in the constitution and only allowing them a self-defense force instead.
2. Something similar to denazification.
Could these policies have been enacted? And if so, would the two follow? If the Allied command could purge the Imperialists more thoroughly, maybe they'd be more willing to give Japan a military a decade down the road? Especially if this is a timeline where the Soviets invaded the northernmost islands.
