My uncle was an English doctor serving at a Quaker hospital in China in the 1930s/40s. He was captured by the Japanese and, even though he was a noncombatant and known to be so, he was imprisoned and tortured for years.
My father in law served in WW II. He was a navigator (in bombers). He survived over Germany, but was slated to be in the air war against Japan. If he hadn't survived that action, which was a response to the uncalled for aggression of the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, my wife would never have been born.

I am, quite frankly, a bit unsympathetic to the deaths some Japanese, citizens of the clearly aggressor nation, suffered which ended my uncle's captivity and torture earlier, and let my father in law survive.
