It's useful in legal cases to establish the habits of those accused of wrong doing. So what were the practices of the US Army led by MacArther (who was in command in the South Pacific in WWII, and in Korea).

In a memo from Air Force Col. Turner Rogers, complained that they were being asked by the Army to strafe civilian refugee columns. From the Memo:

"It is reported that large groups of civilians, either composed of or controlled by North Korean soldiers, are infiltrating U.S. positions," the memo reads. "The army has requested that we strafe all civilian refugee parties that are noted approaching our positions. To date, we have complied with the army request in this respect."

It doesn't look like the US army had any qualms about killing yellow skined people at will, and without any evidence whatever that they harbored combatants.

Asked by the U.S. government to report on the state of Germany's air force in 1936, Lindbergh visited Germany and became enchanted with Nazism. As a special guest of Hermann Goering, head of the German air force, the Lone Eagle toured fascist Germany, taken from one factory to the next, and sitting in the cockpit of the Reich's new bomber planes. "The organized vitality of Germany was what most impressed me," he wrote in his autobiography, "the unceasing activity of the people, and the convinced dictatorial direction to create the new factories, airfields, and research laboratories..."
Field Marshall Goering also viewed Lindbergh as a hero, and presented him that year with the Service Cross of the German Eagle -- ornamented with four small swastikas -- for his services to German aviation. A month later, Nazis pillaged Jewish shops, killed dozens and arrested thousands on Kristallnacht, the "night of broken glass." Americans became increasingly uneasy with Lindbergh's friendship with the Nazis.
Back in the U.S., Lindbergh became the spokesperson for the America First Committee, a powerful isolationist group led by the head of Sears Roebuck. He wrote his own speeches, calling for Americans to stay out of the war.
Lindbergh told his listeners the Nazi conquest of Europe was unavoidable. Americans, he said, should turn their attention to the threat posed by non-white nations. At the time, many agreed with his isolationist views, if not his Nazi-inspired belief in "racial strength." But as Germany invaded France and began bombing England, Americans were less certain that this is a war they should stay out of.

It was a 1941 speech in Des Moines, Iowa that toppled Lindbergh. Not far from an airport he had dedicated in 1927, in a land that was once farms and cattle ranches, Lindbergh said it was time to "name names" of forces conspiring against America. "The three most important groups who have been pressing this country towards war," he said, "are the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt Administration." He said American Jews were a "danger" to their country, citing "their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures,our press, our radio and our government."

Hmmm. That's quite some Exhibit A to your attempt to charge the U.S. Army with bigotry against the Japanese.

Is it only the Japanese fascists you sympathize with or is it the European variety too?
