The Sherman War is Hell strategy. The Japanese raped, murdered, mutilated, starved, beat, performed wicked medical experiments on POWs all across the Pacific. In some ways, they made the Germans look like pikers. But unlike the Germans, they have never faced their past with honesty.
Because they can’t. Culturally, they can’t. Losing to a mixed race bunch of round eyes destroyed much of what they hold dear.
I worked with a Japanese national for a while. He had very little knowledge of WWII, other than the Americans nuked the Home Islands and how horrible it was. Of course, there was an old vet who, gently, gave him an education.
By the end, he feared he could never go back to Japan. He had changed so much he was not the same anymore.
And as non-whites (and therefore as honorary Marxist-Leninist intellectuals) they'll never have to.
Did the monsters at Unplanned Non Parenthood learn from the Japs or are they a result of how far we have fallen?
