Dad was a marine on Guadalcanal and Bougainville. He refused to talk about it with me except to say it was horrible and it was something I should avoid if possible in my life

Ever wonder why, in 1950, we quit searching for Japanese war criminals but still today hunt down Nazis?

That nasty genome among the Japanese population has been almost totally extincted by their losses in WWII.
Same for the Germans.

My husband’s uncle served in the Pacific in WW2. He was with the Royal Army. On his death bed he cried and spoke of the unimaginable horrors his brothers-in-arms suffered.

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

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.

There’s three words that speak volumes about the cruelty of the Japanese during WWII: Bataan Death March. My dad was in the Navy training for the Invasion of Japan. As you might suspect, I thank Harry Truman for giving the order to drop the bombs.
