If you visit Japan ou will be hard pressed to meet anyone who really knows about WWII, except a few lingering WWII vets and university scholars. BUT there is a lingering deep distrust of all things military deeply rooted in the current culture.
I understand that the Yasukuni shrine remains popular.
And is it really true that Japanese tourists visiting the Arizona memorial can’t contain their laughter?
BTW, I was stationed in Japan as a kid in the fifties. The Japanese were pleasant people.
