We pacified the Japs real good.
Japan? pacified? never.
liberated is a far better word for it. we (my farm boy dad from Ohio among them). he liberated the enslaved masses of Japan from which he plucked out my mom.
Good grief.
I doubt you would ever call someone from Japan a “Jap” to their face.
It’s a pejorative term. Grow up and stop posting ethnic slurs. We won the war.
