There are monsters and then there are MONSTERS.
As far as their treatment of POWs and civilians the Japanese were completely ruthless and cruel.
I'm not a big fan of revisionist history.

Japan was and is a diseased society, now as much as then.
Anything we did to them was trivial compared to their conduct.
They deserved both bombs and twenty more.

What was the count on deaths caused by the NAZI party? Or the experimentation the NAZI party did on "live" human beings?
Dan, do you feel the same way about Germany and Russia? I think that is a bit over the line. :nono:Quote:

I'm not trying to be racist or hateful , Bill, just pointing out that Japan was expansionist and the aggressor going into WW2 and to be honest no one really knows how many died and where in WW2. NUFF SAID.
My first patient in my residency in north dakota was a survivor or the Bataan march. not well off, and we talked for a very long time about his experience. very interesting and he told me in no uncertain terms,." he sees japs and he has to turn a run or h e probably would do them bad harm." lucky he was a farmer and did not see alot of others in his farming community.
