My father-in-law, as a young Filipino child during WW2, was hung by his ankles and beaten unconscious in an attempt to get information out of him - info he didn’t have to give.

I guess it would shock Tom Hanks to learn it was the JAPANESE who did this to him, and not imperialistic Americans!

I know a lot of Filipinos and Japanese who are all fantastic people and we are all friends with each other. There will always be some lingering animosity in some regards but we all eventually wind up respecting one another in the end.

Hanks is just making matters worse by interjecting mindless stupidity on a subject matter that he obviously knows nothing about.
