Don't lecture me on war crimes pal...

You will never win the moral equivalence argument. You are beaten. You were beaten before you picked this fight. Now you're talking about the Allies. I guess you've run out of American "atrocities".

That didn't take long.

Furthermore, you can't narrow this sick mentality down to an incident or two, no matter how hard you try. It was rampant. And it was evil. And it was apparently sanctioned at high levels. Explain to me how a couple of bad apples resulted in what happened at Nanking. At Bataan (by some accounts, a decapitation every fifteen paces). And created a "kill all" order for POWs. And performed experimental surgery on downed pilots. And cannibalized pilots who had been shot down over Chi Chi Jima. And sliced Filipino women's babies from the womb. And on, and on, and on.

As I stated before, the Japanese have many things to take pride in. The conduct of their military in WWII is not one of those things, no matter how you try to point the finger elsewhere.

You've demonstrated your loathing for the United States here and on other threads (does "Stupid, stupid, stupid Americans" ring a bell? Yes, I saw your comment regarding the men who died on Iwo Jima). Evidently, you have some issues to work out.

I just wish you weren't doing it here.

In any case, I've got no time to converse with someone living on American soil who glorifies the death of American sailors. I've got better things to do. I'm through with you.

I freely admit that the IJA committed many, many evil and distasteful atrocities. You will get no argument from me.

Well, at least wimpycat got this much out of you; I didn't acknowledge it when I replied, and I should have. I have to say it makes your prior claim of Japanese military cultural superiority fall rather flat.

And I've one more point to make before I leave this thread.

The same mindset that created Mohammed Atta created the one you say fought with "honor and distinction".

You might want to give that some thought.

Now I am through with you.
