Japan WWII 'comfort women' (sex slaves) were 'necessary' - Hashimoto

35. America

I am not trying to be mean to America, but the Japanese do not make Americans feel guilty about dropping atomic bombs on Japanese cities. Americans choose to look back and reflect on those events.

In terms of learning about the horrible things Japanese soldiers did during WWII it seems the problem is not a rewriting of history. The real problem is a general lack of teaching WWII history. It is possible that since WWII was so long ago some history teachers may now feel that there is no need to spend that much time teaching students about the events that occurred during WWII. However, maybe more time should be spent teaching the events of WWII.

There are those who disagree with the idea that a full scale invasion would have been necessary if atomic bombs had not been dropped on Japanese cities. There are those who believe that a surrender could have been obtained without a land invasion or the dropping of bombs. The fact that some believe that the dropping of those bombs was unnecessary may also be part of why some Americans try to reflect yearly on the dropping those bombs.
