Spoiler for LN spoilers:

IIRC, during the first GAA invasion 3 years prior to this Scorched Halloween event, the US did nothing to prevent the invasion. This is still excusable (maybe the US forces were unprepared, etc.); what it inexcusable is that there was indication that the US did this to trim Japan's overall magic and magician's strength. There was even a rumor that GAA's Japan invasion was sanctioned, albeit covertly, by the US government. With this information, how do you expect Japan to react to the second invasion? Just roll over and take it, because of their crime in WW2?

Another thing to remember: the setting of Mahouka is post-WW3. It is highly possible that the geopolitics of the world is different from what we currently knows. So, I don't quite understand why people pointed out that the novel has the right-wing flavor to it; this feels a bit like prejudging the Japan in the Mahouka universe with incomplete information.

Um...please don't blame the United States for Japan's actions in the LIght Novel...you're claiming things that the US does is inexcusable yet at the same time excusing things that Japan does due to the geopolitics of the world. This reflects a possible bias you may have of the United States in real life if you aren't willing to give the US the same excuse.
