The Americans captured at Bataan were starved and allowed to die without medical attention. WW2 was a very nasty situation if you happened to live in that era. By the way we had to fight Hitler and Japan at the same time and we almost lost the war.
At least we won and that is what counts. Otherwise we would not know America as we know it today.

The Americans captured at Bataan were starved and allowed to die without medical attention.

And that was the merciful stuff.
