(27,908 posts)My father had once said to me when he was suffering from his chronic malaria attacks that there would be an attempt to rewrite history stating The Japanese is not being all that bad, and basically victims of American expansionist enterprise, when the exact opposite was true at the time. He said that the Japanese recognized that they were not evil enough to run their own prisoner of war camps so they looked for special individuals from other nationalities and backgrounds to do so. Of course, much of what we did to Japan was payback for Pearl Harbor and the Bataan death march among other atrocities, but ask any family member of a serviceman or woman stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1941 what the appropriate course of action should have been to end the war on the Pacific.
