The Japanese were not portrayed as saints. And the Americans weren't portrayed as phonies -- they were barely portrayed at all. And I don't believe the Americans actually were saints, either. How could they have been?

I don't know why it wasn't mentioned that the 'nice' Japanese soldiers are shown brutally bayoneting an unarmed Marine and are overwhelmingly opposed to giving Morphine to another before one of the Officers who had American friends before the war orders other to do so.

I was referring to how he portrayed them in Flags of our Fathers. And while I would agree that we had our share of cruel and vicious men, that is a BIG difference from a culture of evil that existed at that time. Same with the Germans. I don't know if it is mob mentality or Satan's influence, but there are times when evil is very powerful and aggressive. And we live in one of those times. Unfortunately we are all to enlightened to recognize it.
