***Of course they did. But do u really believe no violations occured during WW2?
If you think the US only supplied boyscouts as Marines and soldiers, I think you've seen too many Harrison Ford movies. Wake up!No boyscouts, you say? You are right, of course. And no one should condone any such behavior.
But for the true sense of proportion please review the Japanese atrocities in China and against the US servicemen. Sometimes it makes me wonder why all that fixation with SS and extermination camps when the Japanese have done things at least as horrible.
At least I don't recall any stories about the "killing competitions" between the German officers.
Follow Ups:
The really sad fact is how the Japanese tone down what they did in their history books.
I was stationed in Japan twice (two six month tours) while I was in the Marines, and now and then theree were dibates about the war. Most young Japanese actually believed it was the US that attacked Japan first and thus started the great Pacific war! This according to english language (but Japanese) newspapers who'd done survays among students.
Don't get me wrong, the Japanese are extremely nice and polite, I enjoyed very much my 12 months there, but it's a shame they are so deeply proud as people that they just cannot handle the bad parts of their history.
I guess a few years as a Jar-Head really doesn't help, nor living in a non english speaking country. But still I have no good excuse for my horrid english. Sorry folks.
How long have you lived in the US Vic?
