Guess Eastwood left out this chapter.
Why is this man walking around?
While I would prefer to see this man torn limb from limb--slowly, and then fed to hungry dogs...
The fact that he suffers mentally is perhaps the best I can hope for.
Next time he goes to the Phillipines, he can go to the US Cemetery there and apologize to my uncle. I am sure he'd be willing to forgive him. I am not.
The Japanese were a lot more brutal than the Nazis. Many POWs died, like 1/3 of them.
He cut out 'still beating hearts' for educational purposes.
I am so glad that he did not win an Oscar for his enemy-promoting movie. Japan is a great ally today, but was awful during WW2.
Of course, this same Hollywood has done whatever it can to make sure we don't turn a Middle East enemy (Saddam) into an ally (Iraq) today.
Every bit as evil and brutal as the Nazis.
My Mom and Dad were the WW II generation, and years later my Mom admitted that she didn't like Japanese, she couldn't feel any love for the Japanese people and she preferred not to be around them, based upon stories she heard from her fellow citizens who fought in WW II. Today such a viewpoint would be called politically incorrect.
Wow, this is beyond belief!
I have "flyboys" right beside me. I haven't started reading it yet. I have read that the Japanese were very had on American airmen, officers in particular.
had = hard
If he had that much experience cutting open bodies, why didn't he do his own and long ago?
My husband was glad Eastwood did not win an Oscar. Ironic that he was nominated for the Japanese view of the war.
Yes and we buy there stuff now.
This never happened, the man is some kind of right-wing fanatic. Ask the Democrat's Party or the Japanese government... /s
This is why Poppa Bush said he carried a sidearm... to do himself in rather than fall captive and have his liver eaten teriyaki style.
It doesn't promote the Imperial Japanese at all. It depicts them brutally bayonetting unarmed American soliders. Did you see it?
Yes, it was.
If I recall the stories of this were classified until sometime in the 1990s?
