It is important to remember this when people start whining about us dropping the Bomb on them.
Unit 731. Horrible stuff. But mostly forgiven because of the value of the human medical experimentation results.
And Obama was close to apologizing for atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The Japs were even worse in China, using plague and biochemical WMDs. They even attempted to balloon and drop plague-infested fleas over the USA.
When psychos are in charge of a submissive species, bad things happen.
I have an Australian friend whose mother was Dutch from Sumatra and whose Australian father was captured at the fall of Singapore. Both survived over four and a half years of Japanese captivity. His mother was marched from place to place around Sumatra with other women as they dropped one by one from tropical diseses, malnutrition and bayonetting. Of hundreds of women taken in 1942 she said "several" were still alive at the end of the war and that she doubted any of them would have lasted another month.
As recounted (and roughly remembered) in “The Rape of Nanjing” the Chinese wished to kill all male Japanese over the age of 10 use the kids as slave labor until they dies, sterilize all the women and use them as concubines. That was there plan after WWII ended and wanted the US to allow it, but first a Chinese General wanted to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After he saw, he said, “You Americans do good work.” The Chinese then dropped their demand.
Thanks for posting this.
The Japanese were completely without morals when it came to their conquered territories and peoples.
Their treatment of POW’s was even worse.
Any captured allied soldier was lucky if they died of their wounds quickly.
Junior Japanese officers were ordered by their superiors to behead perfectly healthy prisoners.
It was to “teach them how lessor species should be treated “,
Some healthy prisoners were killed so that officers could dine on their internal organs, the liver being especially desired.
Since I learned of the way they treated conquered people and military prisoners I have refused to forgive them of their crimes.
At least the Germans took some responsibility of their actions.
The Japs never have and never will.
Sometimes I wish we had possessed enough atomic bombs to turn their homeland into an island of glass.
Then my Christian upbringing kicks in and I relent.
McCarther pardoned all of the Japanese criminals that conducted vivesections of our troops? What was with that guy?
Evil, cruel savages who didn’t get half of what they deserved. Unforgivable.
Makes me feel even better that we resorted to using nukes to end that war.
BTW, my father was shot down over Tokyo in 1945, was a POW, and said they were beaten to near death. Like most WWII vets, he didn't talk much about the war.
I celebrate what would have been his 101st birthday today! He was, and will always be, my ULTIMATE HERO!
The Japs...read “The Rape of Nanking” as well as “Unit 731” and you’ll find out about the Japs...
if Jap atrocities in WWII had been broadcast the way the holocaust was, Japan would forever be a third world craphole...
Save this and then make, force, every #*#* that says we were wrong to NUKE them read a copy.
Give a copy to as many school teachers as you can.
I have Cousins who were captured in the Philippines and spent 3 1/2 years under steady starvation in an internment camp. The Japanese were animals and we should never forget what they and others like them are capable of.
I gave a memorial for one of our heroes on the Enterprise and let their family know how close we were to becoming Japanese slaves. He was on an amazing ship and a true hero.
Pray America woke
Tell the lefties about this the next time they try to say we were such savages for dropping atomic weapons. Let’s see them try to defend it.
Stories like this is why I have no regrets we dropped the Bomb. We bombed them to reality.
