And we should believe this WHY??

Clearly this guy is on a mission to clear his Father's name
in the eyes of the US, (for God knows, the Japanese couldn't give a ratsass about this issue, and never have).

Actually you have it backwards. This guy certainly has a bias, but he is trying to clear his father and lay the blame on the Japanese Army. And as the article points out, another historian was murdered for a controversial WWII opinion recently.

So I would say at least some in Japan "give a ratsass" about this.

This has been common knowledge for years. I can remember being told this story when I was in high school. I graduated in 1959...Japan deliberately withheld the last paragraph. End of story.
