Maybe the democrats in Congress could pass a resolution or something.

I’ve read a couple of similar books. One about japanese submariners atrocities, and one about land forces. It’s amazing that we’re still building memorials to the Nazi’s victims, but few people even know what the japs did. How about the germ warfare that’s still killing people in Asia?
The Japanese Navy simply had more survivors than did the Germans.
To the degree any of these guys are still walking around, it won't be long and they'll all be dead.
Beheaded at whim and worked to death Japan's repugnant treatment of Allied PoWs
The only “atrocity” academics want to see is the racism of Americans against the Japanese in WWII.
We made cartoons of them with buck-teeth and slanty eyes... They think that’s a greater crime than everything Felton describes in his book.
Time to resurrect Paul Tibits.
The japanese were the most brutal and that is the main reason we let ‘em have it with fire raids and two atomic bombs.They had it coming in a big,big way.We will not forget though maybe the japanese people have.
and when these bastards do die I hope to hell they go slowly and painfully. somehow. somewhere.
An understandable sentiment.
I’d rather they suffered the misery of the weight of their deeds, and then made their peace with God.
No wonder my father, who fought the Japs in the Philippines, was so delighted to see the aromic bomb dropped. He knew that if it wasn’t dropped, he and his brethren in the US Army would be facing a nation of people with these values.
Another book is HIDDEN HORRORS. Japanese War Crimes of WWII.

Check it out, It makes Abu Ghraibe look like a summer resort.
It’s nice the new Chevy Impala seems to be the equal of Japanese brands.
Sorry that I’m old fashioned (but not old), but for the reasons in the post, I will not buy a Japanse vehicle if I can avoid it.
Agreed. You (and others) may find this FR thread interesting, although incredibly saddening.

Please forgive my ignorance; I'm not sure that I'm familiar with what you're referring to. Do you mean germ warfare munitions from WW2?
We will not forget though maybe the japanese people have.

Oh, but, of course, our actions are remembered every year when they whine about our a-bomb attacks.
Having recently read the book Flyboys about the Japanese expoits on Ichi Jima, this is not surprising, except that they practiced cannibalism on Navy fliers which is not mentioned here. All the Japanese officers involved on Ichi Jima were executed by the American Army.
