Japanese Broadcast Official: We Didn’t Commit War Crimes, the U.S. Just Made That Up

Maybe another nuke would refresh their memory?

I found that many of the Japanese tourist franky didn’t know very much about WW2 in general.

I would guess that most Americans under 50 don't know a whole lot about it either.

Which means that after a few decades we will have forgotten all the lessons learned.

Mine was on Okinawa.

Wait.... When was the US unhappy with Japan’s leadership?

Surely you don't think that is accidental?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

No they don’t teach about Japan’s atrocities in schools over there.

My dad was too!

There was a documentary on the History Channel about Okinawa, that Dad was watching, and suddenly, he started yelling for my Mom. She ran into the room just in time to see footage of my Dad piloting a landing craft (PA99) with its identifying numbers emblazoned on the prow.

Was your dad a Marine?

No, the Bataan Death March, rape of Nanking; unit 761’s biological warfare experiments on PoWs; the death railway, aka ‘bridge on the river Kwai;’ exceutions of American PoW’s by burning alive in the Philippine Islands; execution and starvation of allied PoW’s, never happened. (sarc

"I guess the really don’t treach teach :-D it over there."i'm sure it's taught as a minor incident in Nihon history and
I'm sure tens of millions of dead chinese, would disagree..
like the 400,000 deaths in the ('37) Nanking Massacre.

It is long past the time for the current Japanese emperor to use his influence to put an immediate and abrupt stop to the atrocious denials of the Japanese crimes against humanity and against the people of Japan.

[exit82]

He said those crimes included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the mass firebombings of Tokyo.That old saw again.

Those two nukes saved over five million Japanese deaths and one million American casualties by avoiding an invasion of the home islands.

It also saved Japan from being divided, like Korea, and from a Korea-like Civil War.

[skeeter]

The only thing we did wrong at the Pacific war’s end was not make a more determined effort to go after the noncoms and local commanders who actually ordered many of these atrocities in various combat theaters. Many of them totally escaped justice.

[Gaffer]

The disciples of the New Liberal World Order are in the process of rewriting history.

From the printed lies of Common Core texts to so-called journalists’ screed and politician dogma, they are crafting a new history under the watching eyes of those who have lived the truth of what they lie about.

They have your children and they are educating the truth right out of them. I hope everyone is happy with that.

Good point. And the Russians were all ready to join in the carving up of Japan free-for-all if the war did not end when it did.

[dfwgator]

And the Chi-Coms certainly would have tried to get their piece of flesh.

I have been to Pearl Harbor many times, and every time i go, I see groups of stunned and humiliated Japanese Tourists leaving the park, often with tears in their eyes.

This surprises me. I haven't been in many many years, but last time I went out to the Arizona memorial, I remember seeing groups of Asian tourists yukking it up and mugging for the camera in front of the plaque of the names of the dead at the end of the monument.

I also remember hearing of this happening when there was a (much younger, long ago) group of Pearl Harbor vets there. It turned into an outright brawl with tourists getting chucked overboard into the harbor.

The average Japanese citizen has been grossly misinformed about such details of their governments actions prior to and including WWII, by their own media and educational institutions.

It probably will come back to bite 'em in the rear.

Inside of a decade, China will have the power to do as she wishes in Japan's "sphere of influence" and there will be no allies for Japan.
