His words personify why China hates Japan and I expect they always will. There's only so much I can read about the Rape of Nanjing w/o vomiting. Women weren't just raped and tortured, but also impaled on stakes along the roadsides and left to rot in public view. Skulls of men, women, and children were piled high where they'd have the most effect. Only wrong by today's standards???? War crimes are war crimes, no matter where or when.
