My father was a member of the army of occupation after having fought in two battles (Phillipines, then Okinawa). He said being in Japan helped him change his mind about the humanity of the Japanese, so it really was a good thing in the long run.
There were many at that time (end of WW2) in America who were literally counseling genocide after the horrors the Japanese had inflicted on the rest of Asia and the Allied/American Armed Forces.
The Chinese HATE them. passionately. They will never forget Manchuria.

It’s so interesting seening the uncertainty in their eyes
Yeah, they figured we would do the same thing that they been doing.
@@ac4185not only did they assume that, they were outright told that’s what would happen. Many high ranking military leaders of Japan told the public that Americans would rape, pillage and plunder once they got in. Many Japanese citizens around this time attest to that, and also display their revelation that it was wrong when Americans well… didn’t do that.
Americans by and large came in, helped rebuild, and were kind to the Japanese during the rebuilding which flew directly in the face of the propaganda their military was putting out. Hence why a bond was formed so quickly that lasts to this day
Little did they know, Japan was about to enter a golden age under American influence
My dad was there. He just passed in June.
This is late but sorry for your loss your dads a hero
@@its_drez He lucked out and missed action. He was deployed as occupying troops. Enlisted at 17.
@@consv regardless his work was no doubt tireless and i personally view occupation troops as heroes for working to rebuild a Japan in disarray and suffering
@@consv "They also serve who stand and wait." Thanks for your father's service. =^[.]^=
0:35 mine too. He was lucky not to have to fight them ..my brothers , sister and I might've not been here. He and his fellow soldiers were sent all over , and mainland Asia: Korea ,
This is what a United America can accomplish.
The only time America took up socialist programs, really makes you think
@@TheKsalad I was talking about United States beating Japan in WW2.
My father would confirm if he was still alive. His destroyer sailed into the lagoon at Truk Island 3 days before the final surrender to pick up the Japanese negotiating. They held preliminary negotiations for the final surrender until the USS Missouri arrived. I have his pic of the Japanese climbing up the steps to his destroyer. He saw the horrors of war including the times they went ashore after some of the major battles. He made his peace with God, standing on deck directing the turret guns at the Kamakazes. He was proud and patriotic but instilled in us a humble reverence for their sacrifices from loss of life to loss of limb and/or mind to the ultimate sacrifice their lives. They didn't have the technology of today and it was truly a battle of the minds! Fortunately overall any mistakes didn't lead to defeat. My Dad said years ago we'd never see a war like that again. And our heroes of WWII were mostly young men. My father was only 20 when he entered the war at Guadalcanal! He instilled in us too the price of freedom doesn't come free and to embrace our freedoms and rights every day and never forget who fought and died for us!
What? War crimes following a little hiding across the Atlantic (aka stealing credit from the Soviets)
@@theeashish The U.S did the heavy lifting in the Pacific theater. Russia did the heavy lifting in the European theater.
Cool video
Thanks a lot for this Chanel. Japanese and American used to experienced a bad experience. A warn greeting from Putra Matebean in Timor Leste
My accounts, friends, said their was little interaction between the American military and the Japanese for the first year of occupation.
They were lucky they were occupied by the US and not the Soviet Union or China
God know what happen if the chinese capture Japan, after what they done to the chinese, korean and southeast asians....
My grandfather was in that occupation force.

And jeeps are still junk today.

Why is it called the first calvary unite if they don't ride horses
the unit was originally horse. As technology changed horses werent used but motorized units fulfilled the same recon and mobile infantry roles light horse used to.

how you doin' Ivan?
They horsed around
Bring this America back no one has guts now
yeah dont have guts now all you have is pro nouns now
@@bertenz959 facts man ☠️
Anyone know the song?
We are so fortunate the japanese are so honorable. If they resisted and launched a resistance it would have been a 1940s version or iraq/Afghanistan. And they got to see we wernt there to destroy the country we just wanted to demilitarize them, they did attack first.
Lol honorable is not the word I would use to describe the Japanese during the 1940s, "begrudgingly compliant" would probably be the more appropriate description
@@jjw3046 Yeah.If japan at that time has enough military equipment and raw materials left to defend their island i think they would still launch guerilla attack
I would use terrible since the Japanese people have murdered millions of innocent people just for fun.
american are just equally evil invading people’s countries killing millions of innocent people in all the wars they involved in
They knew they'd be denied a "glorious" fight with the Americans in an invasion of the Japanese mainland since the US had nukes and was not afraid to use them.
Is that the Custer that was beaten by Native Americans ? just asking....
Yes
Look like cesar conquest of gaul.
