@@theshitheads3178 well the common people are obviously very nice and not malicious, but it’s known that in Japanese culture it’s more common for people to be a lot less outspoken compared to a lot of other Asian nations. Not to say that their friendliness it fake persay, but everyone feels a lot more reserved and privated there. This could probably be fed by silent regret of their past atrocities which they, shamefully, attempt to hide and ignore instead of face head on. OP was generalizing a lot in his comment but his message is crystal clear: if the Japanese who do know were really sorry, why wouldn’t they sincerely apologize *and* make efforts to educate their descendants on those issues?

They learned through the death of so many millions of people especially the Chinese. The actions of the Japanese military were brutal. According to the findings of the Tokyo Tribunal, the death rate among POWs from Asian countries, held by Japan was 27.1%. The death rate of Chinese POWs was much higher because-under a directive ratified on August 5, 1937, by Emperor Hirohito-the constraints of international law on treatment of those prisoners was removed. Only 56 Chinese POWs were released after the surrender of Japan. After March 20, 1943, the Japanese Navy was under orders to execute all prisoners taken at sea.
@@JHaupt6314 Partly because a lot of Communist soldiers were fighting behind the front without wearing Uniforms (便衣兵), in which case, they can't expect to be treated as prisoners of war. But that the Japanese military was extremely backward is simply true.
The Japanese Imperial Army did set the standard alright... the standard of an extremely cruel force that took no prisoners and broke many conventions of war. They were unusually sadistic and took delight in torturing prisoners. Nanking massacre anyone? Thai Burma railway? Yeah, what a great example for the world!
Great people!? Are you stupid or something? They were brainwashed into believing that they were better than others. What’s so great about being a easily brainwashed stupid egotistical fools?
I think what is the best point to talk about the Japanese is the right of freedom of speech. As far as I know, they didn't have the right. So unfortunately most of them could not get proper information time after time.
In death the Japanese tend to be Buddhist, not Shinto. For war yes Shintoism and belief that they were to conquer what they called the eight corners of the world, (not four). My wife is Filipino/Chinese her mother witnessed the horrors of what the Japanese army did in the Philippines. She witnessed an American who was hiding. He was beheaded. Mercy? Very little. I met a woman who was Dutch and was captured by the Japanese in Java. She was expecting a child. Because she could not bow low enough the guarders beat her so badly that until she died she had health problems. Beating a an expecting mother is about as low as a human can get. I am sorry for the innocent people who died in WW 2. I understand the questioning of the fire bombing of Japan, which killed mostly civilians. But for the Imperial army have nothing but contempt.
A single man who was responsible for all those atrocities in WW2 the emperor hirohito was let off easily. It was a shame on the mankind and the souls of the deceased will never forgive this. He is not popular in Okinawa for the atrocities committed to their own citizens.
Hirohito was a figurehead of the Japanese Empire. The real atrocities committed were ordered by the War department(Tojo and company). It wasn’t until the extent of damage the war was taking on Japan did Hirohito demand an end to the war. Once that was suggested his War department tried staging a coup to dethrone Hirohito and prolong the war.
"The Country they hate most of all.. the United States" That's actually incredibly untrue. Imperial Japan and the USA had very good ties until FDR was elected and shut down our trade with them. They were our largest trade partner in Asia, only being beaten by Britain in terms of the world. But FDR hated the Japanese, and so he embargoed them, and that's why they attacked us in the end.

Japan has become the strongest, and in keeping with the heart that has born the man of heaven and earth, the Daitoa Kyoei area was a battle to eliminate racism and win free trade for the people of Asia With pride of the Japanese who fought in the Great East Asia War! [Uroko from the eyes] Cooperate with the Japanese army, Catholics all over the world! ! Pope fully supports Japanese military advance When I look at history, I keep in mind that I do not forget "God's point of view". As I have written before, I believe that extreme "anti-Japan" and "disgusting Korea" will be in Satan's thoughts. More and more senior families and mouths around me have such a "correct perception of history" from God's point of view. The pope supported Japan's actions.
Originally, it was the Japanese army that stepped inside China in the way that was involved in the Chinese civil war.
However, as a result of stepping in, Japan has made great efforts to prevent it from inging to become a communist state.
He also reached out to the birth of a self-sustaining democratic state that would not fall prey to the "aggression" and exploitation of the United States and Europe.
Japan was not fighting to make China its "territory."
Japan aimed to establish a stable nation for the Chinese by the Chinese who would not be invaded by anyone.
With Japan in hand, we aimed to become a bulwark to protect Asia from communism, and to create a major economic zone there.
Therefore, in October 1937, the year the Sympan War began, pio I (reign 1922-39), known as the Pope and pacifist at the time, expressed his understanding of Japan's actions and called on Catholics around the world to cooperate with the Japanese army.
"Japan's actions are not'aggression'. Japan is trying to protect China. Japan is fighting to eliminate communism. As long as communism exists, catholic churches and believers around the world should not hesitate to cooperate with the Japanese army."
Pope Pio XI. He understood the actions of the Japanese army and called on all Catholics to cooperate with the Japanese army.
This statement was also reported in Japan at the time ("Tokyo Asahi Shimbun" evening edition, October 16 and 17, 1947). The newspaper said, "This is the one to solve the basis of the policy toward China of our country, and it is necessary to compare it with 1,000,000 reinforcements as a word of the person who understands circumstances well. There should still be more to offset the anti-Japanese argument of lack of recognition in the U.K. and U.S. countries."
The pope's support for Japan's actions in this way was very nice for Japan, which has been plagued by Western misconceptions and anti-Japaneseism.
However, pio I passed away in 1939.
Therefore, it was not possible to prevent anti-Japaneseism in Europe and the United States and the outbreak of the Japan-U.S. war.

Yes, the paradox is astounding, that the Baby Boomers of Japan did an about face of the terrible taught attitude of cruelty and savagery their parents and grandparents did to the captured Civilians and POW's. Worse in many cases than the NAZI's!!!
The Japanese of today are the best friends and allies America could have in this time of trouble against Communism and yes Fascistic countries of today!!! Very Good People in my humble opinion!!! Mike Talas 4/4th's Injun!

This shows the fundamental principles of the national order, and the country order to the present is a weak-fleshed and strong diet. A strong country exploits a weak country. The order of the family is not to exploit the weakest family by the strongest head of the family! One idea is a system where strong people work for the weak. The world will be at peace for the first time when the strongest country in the world is a weak country, a system that works for weak peoples. Japan has become the strongest, and in keeping with the heart that has born the man of heaven and earth, the Daitoa Kyoei area was a battle to eliminate racism and win free trade for the people of Asia With pride of the Japanese who fought in the Great East Asia War!
[Uroko from the eyes] Cooperate with the Japanese army, Catholics all over the world! ! Pope fully supports Japanese military advance
When I look at history, I keep in mind that I do not forget "God's point of view". As I have written before, I believe that extreme "anti-Japan" and "disgusting Korea" will be in Satan's thoughts.
More and more senior families and mouths around me have such a "correct perception of history" from God's point of view.
The pope supported Japan's actions.
Originally, it was the Japanese army that stepped inside China in the way that was involved in the Chinese civil war.
However, as a result of stepping in, Japan has made great efforts to prevent it from inging to become a communist state.
He also reached out to the birth of a self-sustaining democratic state that would not fall prey to the "aggression" and exploitation of the United States and Europe.
Japan was not fighting to make China its "territory."
Japan aimed to establish a stable nation for the Chinese by the Chinese who would not be invaded by anyone.
With Japan in hand, we aimed to become a bulwark to protect Asia from communism, and to create a major economic zone there.
Therefore, in October 1937, the year the Sympan War began, pio I (reign 1922-39), known as the Pope and pacifist at the time, expressed his understanding of Japan's actions and called on Catholics around the world to cooperate with the Japanese army.
"Japan's actions are not'aggression'. Japan is trying to protect China. Japan is fighting to eliminate communism. As long as communism exists, catholic churches and believers around the world should not hesitate to cooperate with the Japanese army."
Pope Pio XI. He understood the actions of the Japanese army and called on all Catholics to cooperate with the Japanese army.
This statement was also reported in Japan at the time ("Tokyo Asahi Shimbun" evening edition, October 16 and 17, 1947). The newspaper said, "This is the one to solve the basis of the policy toward China of our country, and it is necessary to compare it with 1,000,000 reinforcements as a word of the person who understands circumstances well. There should still be more to offset the anti-Japanese argument of lack of recognition in the U.K. and U.S. countries."
The pope's support for Japan's actions in this way was very nice for Japan, which has been plagued by Western misconceptions and anti-Japaneseism.
However, pio I passed away in 1939.
Therefore, it was not possible to prevent anti-Japaneseism in Europe and the United States and the outbreak of the Japan-U.S. war.
I like Japanese, even though this video doesnt.
Grew was full of shit. They do no think differently. Hirohito, that is Showa, is not a god, and did not descend from the gods. Capital of the world, totally idiocy. Propaganda is one thing, but this was too much.
It is very easy to merely say something. Do you have proof of this assertion? Regarding tokyo as a world capital,did you not read the tripartite pact?
