Dear Tom-
I now see what Hollywood has done to your brain - and it’s not pretty.
Thank you.

You would be naive and revisionest to suggest that it was a motivating factor for war rather than what it was: post-hostility hostility.
Any explanation on our hatred of the Hun bastards?
What a bimbo-I’d like to hear his explanation as to why we fought the Germans, who were self-described the most Aryan of folk.
How moronic and/or anti-American he is to ignore Bataan, Nanking, Japanese POW treatment, “medical experimentation”, etc.
I told people for years that Hanks and Spielberg were scum making a quick buck of WW2 and WW2 vets. People said oh no he loves vets. No, Hanks is scum.
Un-fricken-believable. Hey Tom!!!!! You're a total moron. The Japanese Empire wanted domination of Asia, and the United States was interfering with their goals. That was why we were attacked (that, and they were running out of supplies due to our cutting off of their access to resources needed to wage their war). The United States, on the other hand, engaged them in combat in order to stop their naked aggression. In case you didn't notice, Tom, Japan became a economic power BECAUSE we rebuilt their country. You don't do that for someone you want to annihilate.
Hanks is an idiot. People misinterpreted his politics because they perceived him as being complementary toward WW2 vets, but he was complimentary only because it was popular to do so. Had this been the sixties, he would have been as antiAmerica as that skank jane fonda.

In a way, he’s right. There was tremendous racism involved. At the time, we were willing to use any means neccessary to win. Anyone who thinks overt racism is bad should contemplate the effects of an atom bomb and see which one is worse.
Of course now we are more afraid of offending the sensiblities of goat herders than of being killed by them, which explains why Somalian pirates can attack merchant ships without fear of getting bombed into a vapor.

Just another Hollywood hollowbrain.
Dear Mr. Hanks,
Way to piss on my grandpa’s grave, and the graves of thousands of men that were way better and bigger than you.
Go take a flyin f*ck off a bridge you ignorant bastard.
Sincerely,
Vigilantcitizen
FUTH! My late father was not a racist you stupid bastard!
[The Japanese “were out to kill us because our way of living was different,” (Hanks) told Time magazine.
The Japanese, particularly the military, attempted to emulate Americans and Europeans.
So how does Hanks reconcile the fact that the Chinese were our allies during WWII?
Why wouldn't we sell the Japanese oil & such? Because they were slaughtering the hell out of the Chinese.
Quick quiz Tom -- are the Chinese white people? T or F.
I'd say you have 50-50 chance of getting it right.
It’s always a waste of time to analyze the words of a fool, and Tom Hanks has definitely proven himself to be a fool.
Hanks is an idiot. If we had wanted to annihilate them, there was no power in earth at the time that could have stopped us.
Were the Japanese 'racist' when they dragged 12 years old Korean girls into military brothels to service a 100 or more soldier a day? Were they racist when the made competitions of beheading tens of thousands of Chinese civilians just for sport and then shooting millions of other just because they were Chinese, not Japanese? Were they racist when they slaughtered thousands of civilians including children in the Philippines when they were driven out of Manila --- just because they could?
But in Tom Hanks world, we were the racists because he saw a Bugs Bunny cartoon when he was a kid that called them Japs or Nips and made them look funny.
The guy is just another Hollywood idiot who lives in Filmland, not in the real world. He's playing the PC card trying to up his standing with the Hollywood establishment.
Screw him and his movie.
In 1945, if the United States had wanted to kill every person in Japan, we could have. We could have shot them, starved them, nuked them, or used them for bayonet practice just as they did with POWs and civilians for the previous 15 years in China and elsewhere.
Nothing could have stopped us, if that was what we desired and if we really were 'racists.'
We didn't do that. In fact, in only 5 years, we rebuilt their nation at great expense, turned them into a prosperous, dynamic economy, established a democratic government, and allowed them to be self ruling for the first time in their 2000+ year history. And in fact, some GIs actually came home with Japanese wives!
Some racists we are! We really suck at it.
Tom Hanks peaked with Bachelor Party. It’s been a downward spirial ever since.
The WWII people weren’t racists, they were just terrible parents.
Anything you say, Forrest Gump.
