Those who battled the forces of Imperial Japan and those unfortunate to have been ‘’guests’’(prisoners of war) of His Majesty The Emporer have the moral authority to feel as they do towards the Japan they knew and fought. But I could hardly imagine these same men and women today, looking at this disaster, would think that somehow the Japanese of today ‘’deserved’’ this. I know men and women personally who served in the Pacific and I know to a person their hearts would go out to the Japanese for this. Heck, look at those old documentries , one minute our guys are shooting the heck out of the Japs(or Germans) and the next minute there’s an Army medic or a Navy corpsman tending to the enemy wounded. Or ministering to a frightened kid. Americans aren’t savages.
