Japanese are sheltered from learning the atrocities their nation committed in WWII (there has only recently been acknowledgement from the Japanese government regarding Korean sex slaves and Camp 731's live autopsies).

There is no excuse that the people of Germany and Japan haven't taken the opportunity to learn about the horrors of their homeland before taking grievances to American actions.

There was a spiking of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Military forces throughout Japan in their media, books and schools after 1960. Many younger Japanese born decades after WWII had no idea what happened.

In Germany, it seems to be a case of redoing and forgetting history on a large scale. Hopefully, there aren't new Nazis behind this rewriting of history.

These are the people that I'm brutal with when they try to take grievances to what we did.

I told one young German who thought that we were brutal, that our troops should have stopped on the France/German border and let the Russians take all of Germany. Then there would be no grievances about how bad we and the UK were. I thought that he was going to throw up. This was about a year before the USSR fell apart. I told him that we could still do it. He never brought up his complaints about evil Brits and Yankees again.
