Maybe the democrats in Congress could pass a resolution or something.
mild sarcasm
I’ve read a couple of similar books. One about japanese submariners atrocities, and one about land forces. It’s amazing that we’re still building memorials to the Nazi’s victims, but few people even know what the japs did. How about the germ warfare that’s still killing people in Asia?
The Japanese Navy simply had more survivors than did the Germans.
To the degree any of these guys are still walking around, it won't be long and they'll all be dead.
Beheaded at whim and worked to death Japan's repugnant treatment of Allied PoWs
Time to resurrect Paul Tibits.
The japanese were the most brutal and that is the main reason we let ‘em have it with fire raids and two atomic bombs.They had it coming in a big,big way.We will not forget though maybe the japanese people have.
No wonder my father, who fought the Japs in the Philippines, was so delighted to see the aromic bomb dropped. He knew that if it wasn’t dropped, he and his brethren in the US Army would be facing a nation of people with these values.
Another book is HIDDEN HORRORS. Japanese War Crimes of WWII.

Check it out, It makes Abu Ghraibe look like a summer resort.
It’s nice the new Chevy Impala seems to be the equal of Japanese brands.
Sorry that I’m old fashioned (but not old), but for the reasons in the post, I will not buy a Japanse vehicle if I can avoid it.
Having recently read the book Flyboys about the Japanese expoits on Ichi Jima, this is not surprising, except that they practiced cannibalism on Navy fliers which is not mentioned here. All the Japanese officers involved on Ichi Jima were executed by the American Army.
neversurrender!
I wonder if historians generally agree on this number.
It seems high to me, although I don't remember reading any number for Asian civilian deaths attributed to the Japanese.
It’s a shame we stopped at two nukes.
A couple of years ago, I was talking to a local media droid, a tv videographer, who is quite an admirer of Japan and Japanese culture. Unlike me, he has never been there.
The discussion turned to World War 2 and Japanese atrocities, particularly against PoWs. He chided me for condemning this, since the Japanese were taught that it was a disgrace to be captured and that prisoners deserved to be abused and tortured. “So, you see, it was just part of their culture.”
I responded “Well, it’s just part of our culture to fire-bomb people who do that kind of s**t.”
btt
“”The Japanese murdered 30million civilians while “liberating” what it called the Greater East-Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere from colonial rule. About 23million of these were ethnic Chinese.”
China’s day of reckoning with Japan ain’t gonna be pretty.
They were extremely brutal...tough fighters too....glad we nuked ‘em.
Devious and cruel people.
