I watched a lot of WW II movies. One, Operation Burma, has one officer saying that the Japs needed to be “Wiped of the face of the earth!”

Anyone ever notice that the plot of Operation Burma is actually Northwest Passage rewritten?

"The only good Jap is a dead Jap" was a common sentiment when I was a kid, and I'm pretty sure it was used in a war movie or an early TV show.

If I recall correctly, Admiral Halsey said after Pearl Harbor, “When this war is over, Japanese will only be spoken in hell.”
