Just because Lindbergh flew a plane over the Atlantic doesn't make him right.

So he didn't observe what he observed? Right?

He was there. I wasn't, and I seriously doubt you were.

Your agenda of 'Americans are bad, just not as bad' is disgusting.

My agenda is truth. Putting underwear on prisoners heads is one thing, but shooting an enemy soldier under a white flag is another. I always thought we were better than that, and I was surprised to learn that we were not.

My Dad fought in CBI theater, and at 86 he would still choke anybody who would defame the mission and achievements of those great men and women with statements like that.

CBI meant that he was likely early in the war. The issues Lindbergh witnessed were late, after the atrocities of the Japs were known and we were in a rush to get things over with.

Expecting a guarantee on a 'clean, perfect war' is just hiding some other agenda.

Hiding your eyes to the facts is no different than the Japanese of today being surprised that Chinese don't like them because of what happened in the war. Todays Japanese, and many Germans, have no idea of what their parents generation did. How is your attitude different?

So he didn't observe what he observed? Right?

Just because somebody was there doesn't mean their 'observations' are not influenced by their agenda...i.e. John Kerry and all the other Vietnam Vets who are America haters. You can't hide behind your one single statement that basically says 'Charles Lindbergh is right and everyone else is wrong'.

My agenda is truth

BS. Your agenda is pure and simple; to discredit the United States of America and our military heroes, even those who are no longer alive to defend themselves any longer.

This is a thread about the horrible dissections and experiments performed by the Japanese on their helpless prisoners.

You are equating your self-proclaimed truth with these terrible acts. Don't even try to deny it. Even when you say 'they were worse but that doesn't excuse us' you are trying to create one issue in the readers minds. Why else would you jump in on a thread about Japanese atrocitries with your so called 'enlightened truths' about American atrocities?

I support what our military accomplished, whatever it took, to save the world from the domination of Nazi and Shinto Imperial fascism, which would have meant the end of freedom, the end of liberty, the end of human dignity.

Period.

It's so easy for someone to sit comfortably behind their computer, anonymously, and toss around comments about 'American atrocities', while you show your ignorance and your lack of appreciation to the fact that if we had not done EVERYTHING that was done in order to win that war, you literally might not be here today. I hope you feel soooooo good about yourself by calling people to the attention of narby's undisputed truth.

I say your comments are despicable.

And if all that isn't bad enough, you then have the nerve to say;

Todays Japanese, and many Germans, have no idea of what their parents generation did. How is your attitude different?

Where do I start with that lunacy? First of all, if you have ever spent any time in Germany or Japan, you would know how much of this has been drilled into them over the last 50 years. To a lesser extent in Japan, but still true.

Secondly, today's generation are the grandchildren of the WWII soldiers, and both generations are very aware.

Last, I guess I need to explain to you the difference of what the Nazi's and Japanese did, starting with their master plan to dominate the world, eliminate personal freedoms, exterminate unwanted races and religions, and commit unspeakable atrocities on the road to doing that.

So, my disputing your "truth", by defintion, cannot even be compared to anything, any way, any shape, any form, of the despicable acts of those regimes.

We were right to do what we did. It's a darn shame that there are still unappreciative and self-righteous free loaders that were also spared and then choose to cowardly spit on our military heroes from the comfort of their keyboard.

Despicable.

Oh, and regarding the other piece of BS..."CBI meant that he was likely early in the war "...My Dad arrived there in 1943 and returned in January 1946, 5 months after the end of the war.

Again I ask you...why are you even here on Free Republic?
