what even more people don’t know and in some cases are willfully ignorant towards is the fact many American POW’s were butchered by camp guards after the enraged jap guards found out the japs had surrendered...
its always been my contention had jap atrocities in WWII been broadcast to the same degree nazi atrocities had most of the population would have committed hari kari out of embarrassment or at the very least had Dugout Doug MacArthur not sold out, japan would’ve been a subservient country for a century...do some quick research on unit 731....
Bottom line, we felt guilty after dropping the bomb(s) and because of that did not seek legitimate war justice with the intensity that we did against Germany.
Crazy but true.
