Highly egalitarian, the Japanese of World War 2. They treated all POWs the same.

Japanese soldiers take aim at Indian PoWs
Indian Army PoWs made live targets for new Japanese infantry recruits
Soldiers who didn't die in the firing being bayoneted to death

They also used POWs as live test subjects in various chemical and biological warfare experiments and what passed for Japanese entertainment in Nanking will keep you awake at night. The A bombs were completely justified. Dropping a few more would have been justified.

Asia has not yet had it’s revenge upon Japan for WWII.
It’s coming one day.

The Japs made the Nazis look like sissy boys. I’ve never met an American WWII vet who fought in the Pacific theater that had anything but vitriol for the Japanese soldier, and wouldn’t have killed twice as many if they’d had the chance.

The Japs were evil and savage. I could barely get thru Unbroken. What our brave men went thru to have a commie like BO come undo it all. Makes me sick.

This is old news. They ate Caucasians too. They called us “Long Pig.”

It is another example of the poor history being taught in schools, that the Holocaust is almost exclusively focused on whereas both Soviet gulags and the horrific Japanese camps are ignored.
In Europe, even the Holocaust is being phazed out, for two reasons.
1) They now hate Jews again
2) Its white guilt potential has worn thin

I couldn't agree more. The d=fact that Hirohito was allowed to remain as figurehead Emperor is a disgrace to humanity. He should have been hung.

Remember this when people whine about us dropping the Bomb on them! I've always said the A-bombs saved lives on both sides and the Japs had it coming anyway. Good thing we had a Truman and not an Obamanation.

“Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research “
When you learn about Japanese WWII atrocities — arguably worse than Hitler — you realize that NOT to use nuclear weapons on this regime would be immoral.

Bump to post 7
That has ben my experience too. One former ex- Marine coworker waa scout/ sniper in the First Marine Division and when speaking of the war and killing Japs the years would fall away from him and he would get excited and animated.
He told me of some incidents on Guadalcanal that I had read about but he had more details.

And the leftists hate America for being bad as they claim.
Savages, the Japanese military, were during this time. Much
of history is being ignored or rewritten.
