I understand that many are built here in the US, and many Ford's are built in Mexico. It's not a simple issue.
I just choose not to buy a product with a Japanese nameplate.
Reading an account of the Bataan death march reinforces that opinion of mine.
Also understand that my viewpoint has some holes in the logic and that other look at it differently.
Also understand those Japanese brands are probably a better product. And probably built with non union workers.
So, you believe that the Japanese of the present are worse enemies of America than the United Auto Workers union.
Carrying your logic to conclusion, no German or Italian cars, there are no British or French cars worth a damn, that leaves pretty much only Korean....... Hundai is nice
I lived in Manila and on a floor beneath our offices (US Navy OICCSWPAC) were the offices of the Mitsubushi Co. There was one flawlessly dressed Japanese gentleman there with a Philippina staff. It was barely 20 years after the surrender and his job was to look after reparations being tendered through his company.
If he was on the elevator, no Philippino would get on. If he got on while the elevator was loading, they would scrunch against the wall as tight as they could leaving a space around him. He never said a word and smiled agreeably but not a smirk. He really had a hard job having to deal so up close with the hatred.
A friend of mine and myself went to maravelies and drove up Bataan to the junction and on up to Clark Field. We followed the march route. Mostly it is long and could be very hot. The deaths were mostly Philippino but there were Americans who did die. It was a bad event, a terrible event.
But, that was then and now is now. I would hope the world of today doesn’t carry the grudges such as those in the Balkans and the Middle east for hundreds of years.
