In Reply to: Perhaps you need more than "some" context posted by DWPCAPACHE on June 22, 2006 at 15:33:11:
Perhaps rather than writing in broad generalities, you should provide some concrete examples of what I wrote that led you to that interpretation. I wrote: "Along the way, any men that left formation were summarily executed." Certainly, that sentence, by any rational interpretation, cannot be used to support your conclusion. The word "summarily" clearly makes the point that there was little thought involved in the execution, other than someone fell out of a single file line."The Japanese military culture indoctrinated their soldiers to believe that surrender was cowardly, and so the prisoners were viewed as cowards, not deserving to live." That is clearly not a judgment, but a fact, and explains, to a large extent, why the Japanese treated prisoners like they did. You could probably likewise find a cultural reason for why Japanese auto manufacturers are very successful.
"Your post makes the deaths of ten thousand unarmed prisoners in one week sound like little more than an unavoidable cultural faux pas by the Japanese." It certainly did not. Because some people interpret the Bible in such a way as to justify killing their children, which some have done, does not mean that the Bible stands for such a proposition. I will charitably attribute your post to a bad case of looking for something that is not there.
