I agree, this IS disgusting! The Japanese of that time were SAVAGES, there IS NO “other side” to the story of WWII in the Pacific! IT WAS GOOD VERSUS EVIL, and THAT is THAT!!!

Not really that disgraceful. Since that attack, we wiped em out, nuked em twice, and have had 65 years of first class friendship. And i’ve seen numerous US veterans interacting with Japanese Aircrews from that day. They seemed to be getting along fine.

As another aside,,, After World War II ended, Fuchida who lead the Japanese planes became a evangelist Christian preacher and frequently traveled to the United States to minister to the Japanese expatriate community. He became a United States citizen in 1966.

If you actually read the article, it doesn’t seem to make any excuses. It is a gallery describing the deterioration of the relations from the Mid-30s on. Newspaper headlines from both countries, etc. Lots of photos of coffins from the attack, burn victims, etc. Sounds like they told the story right IMO.
