An excerpt from Wiki:

To determine the treatment of frostbite, prisoners were taken outside in freezing weather and left with exposed arms, periodically drenched with water until frozen solid. The arm was later amputated; the doctor would repeat the process on the victim's upper arm to the shoulder. After both arms were gone, the doctors moved on to the legs until only a head and torso remained. The victim was then used for plague and pathogens experiments.

It didn't take the Pacific GI's long to figure out the Japanese weren't taking prisoners.

If George HW Bush hadn't crashed offshore where an American sub could rescue him he would have been executed like every other flyboy on that island.

Sort of like the democrats of today. For example, they demand the right to dismember and murder babies.

My dad was US Army during WW2. He was involved with two amphibious landings on two Japanese held islands. His hatred of all things Japanese was embarrassing to me growing up.

After the kids were asleep, if a former WW2 Veteran came over they would stay up late talking. Dad had a close friend who was in the Navy and on a ship that was sunk by a suicide plane.

I once say an explanation of why the Japanese soldiers were as inhumane as they were. It comes down to conditioning and culture. Still the war crimes committed were unspeakable and common enough that most GI’s who had fighting contact really felt the Japanese soldiers must be killed to the last man.

My Father-in-law, who spoke English, French, Spanish, Italian and German was posted to Pearl Harbor in early 1941, After the attack. He got reassigned to the Atlantic where his language skills would be of some use. Later that same war he got to participate in D-Day. I’ve never read of anyone who was at both.

He never said a word about it except once. His daughter and I bought new car, a Mitsubishi. He commented it wasn’t the first time he’d seen a Mitsubishi.

Bump for later. Been reading a lot about the Pacific In WW2 lately. The focus is always on Hitler and Europe but our actions in the Pacific War were pretty amazing. Lot of good men gave their lives to the cause.

We have leftists in this country that are so full of hate that they are capable of such. They already dismember babies.
