My Dad had been on General MacArthurs staff and after the Japanese surrender, and as the Occupation got under way, orders were issued not to use Jap and show respect to the Japanese people.

There was a purpose for that order.
On the other hand, General Macarthur was ruthless toward the Japs who committed atrocities. Some Jap Generals had what amounted to Kangaroo courts and were hung immediately.
You must have some amazing stories about the general. MacArthur is one of the greatest gnerals in American history IMO.
