Japan was a fanatical military despotism that was invading all over the globe, torturing prisoners, enslaving whole countries, raping and murdering women, performing medical experiments on humans. they had no respect for their victims, who they viewed as sub-human and undeserving of compassion -

How could Japan complain about what anyone did to it in defense? Thank God we stopped them and not a second too soon.

Yep, Nanking, Bataan Death March and Unit 731 (the chemical and biological labs that experimented with live prisoners) should be reason enough to end the Japanese Imperial reign of terror. Maybe someone should remind Sheila at HBO of the millions of Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asians who died at the hands of the Japanese Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Movement in addition to Western prisoners of war. Considering what an invasion of the home islands would have cost, the Japanese could have suffered much worse without the two atom bombs.

Japanese scientists performed tests on prisoners centering around the plague, cholera, smallpox, botulism and other diseases.[13]

This research led to the development of the defoliation bacilli bomb and the flea bomb used to spread the bubonic plague.[14] Some of these bombs were designed with ceramic (porcelain) shells, an idea proposed by Shiro Ishii in 1938.

These bombs enabled Japanese soldiers to launch biological attacks, infecting agriculture, reservoirs, wells and other areas with anthrax, plague-carrying fleas, typhoid, dysentery, cholera and other deadly pathogens.

In addition to this, infected food supplies and clothing were dropped by planes into areas of China not occupied by Japanese forces.

They were already using WMDs in China. That won’t be in the “documentary” as background, will it. I hope so but not holding my breath.
