And it’s also no mystery why the Chinese, to this day, detest the Japanese.

My father (RIP) was on the ground in Korea. He never talked much about it either.

My uncle... we had some times fishing the northern lakes. Old WWII vet, and jap POW. He didn’t talk about the japs much, but I heard the stuff hardly anyone heard.
In retrospect I’d say uncle and Robert Leckie shared a lot of the same experiences.
Uncle said that being a POW was really hard. But it probably saved his life.

Rape, torture, murder, cannibalism. Expressions of honor in the Japanese military culture of World War II.
And, of course, for the Imperial Japanese Navy - cowardice.

Read John Dower’s War Without Mercy in grad school. The Japanese were vicious purveyors of death and torture, but in our reaction to their cruelty, with justification, we weren’t far behind

Japanese are still racists that could put any Klansman or Nazi to shame.

Your welcome! What a fantastic man, what a fantastic story!
Can you imagine going through almost 100 days of pure hell at Okinawa, and then being transferred to Guam to start training for the invasion of Japan? No wonder these guys were grateful to Oppenheimer and Co.

A former friend of mine lit into me on the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb. He said it was a tragedy against humanity blah blah and it was totally unnecessary.
I educated him on the savage nature of the Japanese going back to their invasion of southern China and Korea in the late 30’s. Then he got a lesson the fire bombing of Tokyo and Yokohama, that made no point on their leaders who continued the savagery.
He was not aware but was when I was done.
I love Japan and the Japanese. For 30 years, I did much of my business there and made many friends. But the Japanese of those pre-war and WW2 days were incredibly brutal and inhumane.

We don't.
The Israelis do but in their case it is personal.

We didn't tie thousands to stakes and use them as bayonet targets. We didn't eat our enemies for the sake of it. We treated many POW's as humans AND as the enemy. We inflicted violence in defense of all of our lives, in order to stop the violent dictatorship.

Unit 731I read a book by this name. The vivisection on live US pilots is hard to stomach.

My father fought in the Pacific during WWII. He was disgusted by the treatment women received at the hands of the Japanese.
The torture and brutal treatment that Allied troops were subject to at their hands has been ignored. They were as bad as the Nazis, if not worse. They have never been held accountable.
My father told my mother some of the things he witnessed during the war because he needed someone to talk to, but she told me she wished she could forget what she heard, it was that bad.

WOW! What a story. Thank you so much for sharing. Your father was a genuine hero and I can not thank him, as well as you and his entire family, for his dedication and sacrifice.
