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.

Neither am I Mike. Let's tell it like it really was then.

Wow, we must have forgotten the treatment dolled out by the Russians to POW and citizens alike. Oh, they were on our side. The Russians are responsible for more death and destruction before during and after WWII by far. I think the last count I got was close to 100 million died up and during WWII and somewhere around 2/3 have been accredited to the Russians.

What was the count on deaths caused by the NAZI party? Or the experimentation the NAZI party did on "live" human beings?

Japan was and is a diseased society, now as much as then..........They deserved both bombs and twenty more.

Dan, do you feel the same way about Germany and Russia? I think that is a bit over the line.

All I'm trying to do here fellas is not beat the living crap out of this issue. We ALL know what was done and by whom. Remember we have quite a few folk on this site from all over the world and for that we are thankful. Thanks

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.
