Is Japan sliding back to the dark days of the militarist 1930s? Are the Japanese really prepared [to surrender their breathtaking materialism for the sort of foreign adventures] that brought ruin upon their grandparents' generation?

Do you know the context this phrase have been written in?

Well, the Japanese plan to send troops on an international mission for the first time since WWII.

This mission is costing them money, which they don't care about. This means they give up materialism.

International mission meaning foreign adventures.
