To them, Japanese are the most peace-loving sensitive souls. After the war, all they bothered to remember about it was the two nuclear bombs dropped on their soil. They view themselves as victims of unimaginable atrocity. Of course, they can't openly point finger at U.S.. However, it is an strong undercurrent. It is a typical exercise of selective memory. For more than three decades, peace movement swept the entire country, not because of reflecting on destruction they wrought, but their "victimization" by two bombs.

Japan was an aggressor nation, which was reborn as a victim nation after the war.

You describe it perfectly. They didn't remember how their doctors did experiments on Korean and Chinese people. Neither did they remember that upon their return the Japanese public treated these doctors as heroes. Some of them became the founders of prominent medical companies.

So they’re as delusional regarding reality as our Leftists? That’s quite a trick!
