Those of us familiar with history have known a number of these horrific realities of Japanese atrocities during World War II.

But if you want to know the truly horrific thing, it's this: the Japanese have only perfunctorily recognized "improper" conduct during World War II. They do not teach their own children the truth of their atrocities during the war. Their own schoolbooks omit the Rape of Manchuria, the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

And what's more, our own politicians gleefully treat America like we're the "war criminals" for nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even after the head of the Japanese Imperial military clearly stated in his memoirs that, had his forces been victorious, he would not have given us the respect that our side showed his in defeat.

That is the compounding abomination in all this.
