I have worked with the Japanese and I have yet to find a single one who is not trustworthy, kind and caring. So carpet bombing them is a repulsive idea.
You can carpet bomb their politicians though.

I suspect you were not around them personally in 1943. They were vile. I direct you to the horrors and sport murdering in Nanking, their behavior in Manchuria at Unit 731 and it’s gruesome human experiments, the utter brutality with which they treated POWs. The hell ships. The slave labor, forced rape and slavery of Korean woman, rampant beheadings of anyone they pleased. The brutality of Kempeitai, even some covered up instances of cannibalism on POWs. It wasn’t just their leaders, the animal mentality was widespread.
The reason the ones you met are so nice are because they utterly got their asses handed to them as wages of their prior cruelty and finally learned their lesson.
They were repulsive during the war and had their old ways beaten out of them.
“I have worked with the Japanese and I have yet to find a single one who is not trustworthy, kind and caring.”
That’s not their history. They were brutal in War II and deserved to be obliterated.
