The reason I had asked is I just finished reading a MacArthur biography and was wondering if the sentiment of the Japanese people toward MacArthur really matched what the author had stated. However, reading what you wrote was much more interesting. What fantastic lives you and your family have led.

The Japanese we got to know thought MacArthur was God. You can debate over the general's Hirohito decision but the survivors of the war (civilians still at home and parents of war dead) were glad he got rid of the militarists.
