Horrors of War

There is no doubt that the American government knew of this impending slaughter before it happened - and no doubt they knew when it was taking place and did nothing. The US knew the Nazi policy of eradicating Jews and other undesirables well before the discovery of the camps by US forces - but did nothing. The same can be said of Rwanda nearly 60 years later. Bottom line is that without a vested US interest - there is no movement on our part to halt this kind of aggression towards innocent civilian populations.

Funny, my father and uncles were not ignorant of this atrosity in the late 1930s and early-40s. The newsreels they watched at the movies showed Americans across the nation exactly what kind of barbaric people the Japanese sildiers were- bayoneting and decapitating men, women, and children alike. Studies have shown that the American soldiers that fought in the Pacific had much more hatred than thier European theater brothers, and this, plus the "dirty" sneak attack were the main reasons why. You hear nonsense now about it being because of their race, It wasn't, and. In fact, before anyone brings up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, please remember the Atomic Bomb was origianlly to be used against the Germans. No, we knew what evil was going on and couldn't do anything about it at the time. If you want to talk about indifference, talk to the Japanese, who still honor these soldiers and their leaders as heroes and glorify them at the Shinto shrine in Tokyo each year, as well as watering down their textbooks to show that Japan did these things in China and Korea to unite the Asian race. Now, they try in every way to avoid taking any blame-- So, whose ignorant?..

War is War no matter what country or time period it takes place. It always has its evils that seem to grow and and get out of control the longer it wears on. All people of all religions and races have been tortured , raped , or killed. It makes no sense to say which people had it worse in which war. It all sucks but unfortunately its human nature.

What the japanese are doing is vastly expanding its so-called self-defense army, military spending is second largest in the world after united states. Japanese goverment is also sending troops overseas which is prohibited by its postwar constitution. What the japanese goverment should be doing is to officially appologizing to all the asian nations it invaded during the world especially to china due to the human and monetary suffering it cost, issues like sex slaves(comfort women) etc should be discussed and mended.
The reluctance of japanese goverment to appologize can larged be blamed on u.s. government which did not push japan to reflect totally on its war crimes like they push germany after world war II. The german chancellor went to jewish holocaust memorial and knelt down asking for forgiveness, it is hard to imagine japanese emporer or prime minister will ever do that in front of NANJING massacre victims memorial.

I don't quite like our chairman mao either, he is definetely not a saint. But one thing is sure after he took power in 1949, china was never painfully invaded by any foreign nation like for the past one hundred some
years, that is a lot more than I can say for other chinese leaders.
Also chinese people have slightly different views on human tragedy during turbulous times from contemory
westerners. Chinese history which is uninterrupted for five thousand years is full of dynasty changes and inner conflicts, so bloodshed and human loss was not unusual. Don't tell me during short history of united states you lack any blood on your hands, genociding and uprooting of american indians?
For a long time in history, china was the biggest and strongest nation on this side of the globe, but rarely to my knowledge it invaded other nations. On the contrast china try to live peacefully with its neighbors. Those neighbors benefitted largely from chine like korea and japan, they learned and inherited chinese culture ,their languge, religion,food etc. derived from ours. Japan should thank us rather than invade us, we
brought them out of darkness sort of speak, otherwise they still be living in caves and stuff, I am not joking.
So it was especially abhorring and unspeakable when japan invaded china and cost so much human suffering after china had been nothing but good to japan during history. That reminds me of that story about a pitiful peasant saving a poisonous snake end up killed by that same snake.
On this 70th anniversary of Nanjing Massacre, let us remember those innocent souls beheaded, violently raped then kill, bayonneted, doused gasoline burned , buried while alive by the monsters of japanese army.
People in the u.s.,uk and australia should not forget the atrocities committed by japanese imperial army in the phillippines and other southeast asian countries either, Battahn death march ring a bell. Japanse atrocity knows no race or skin color. I am not being racist or hater without reason toward japanese, I am just stating some fact

What are they doing now. Did I miss something?

Always remember what the japs were like! And don't forget to look at what they are doing now!
