Well, Hey, we got guys cranking out “Lions for Lambs”, “Rendition” and “Redacted”.
You make a very good point there, I hope history is as harsh to them as it will be to this idiot.
Add the hideous “Valley of the Elah” to that list. This one has the raping murdering American troops AND a Jewish organ stealing doctor. Big hit in the islamic world.
People fail to understand that national or racial guilt is something confined almost entirely to white Western nations. Even very educated, intelligent, and cultured nations such as Japan have large numbers of people (even elected officials) who deny past atrocities. And the rest of the population is mostly of the opinion that even if things like Bataan and Nanking did occur (which they did) they’re old history and we should just forget about it.
It’s totally unlike the West, where we wallow in our past sins, real and in many cases imagined.
I love Japan and the Japanese people. But these crimes did occur and they should admit to it.
