Abner, good points. The Japanese war atrocities have not had the same level of attention that the Germans have. I watched the history channel and learned about Unit 731 in China where the Japanese performed medical experiments on par with josef Mengele. To the best of my knowledge the Japanese were the only combatant to use biological weapons. A Japanese soldier on the history channel admitted that it was common practice to rape chinese women then burn them. The Japanese treatment of POWs was horrendous -random decapitations of prisoners for sport with their Samari swords. The Bataaan death march . Lets march the bleeding hearts that way and see how sympathetic they are. The American death rate was for 4% in german camps and 27% in Japanese camps. The Japanese camps had order to kill POWs upon an invasion of Japan. War is horrible but all this talk about valuing civilian life ( many employed making weapons) more than soldiers who were drafted after high school irritates me. The A bombs saved American lives sure there was political advantage by showing the Russians that we had the bomb but it was the right choice in my opinion. Mike
