[Eric in the Ozarks]

Japan could have avoided the last act (1944-45 where more than 1 million died) because even though they knew they were whipped, the Bashido mentality still ruled amongst the militarists and Emperor Hirohito. Over and over, the Japanese chose to not mention their defeats to one another. The loss at the Coral Sea & Midway and the crushing loss in the Marianas was not generally know in Japan. The Japanese Army was prepared to take another atom bomb, even on Tokyo, if they could fight on with the emperor’s blessing.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Hirohito should have swung at the end of a rope along with Tojo.

The divine Tenno Mikado was no mere figurehead, as the pinko revisionists would have you believe.
