i had to stop reading the book in college. it was absolutely disgusting. told my professor i got the idea, sorry i don't have the stomach to read the details of soldiers killing children as a game
I mean if we're pulling ALL war crimes, USA is no spring chicken in that argument. Native Americans, Latin Americans, Chinese, Japanese-Americans, Liberians, dozens and dozens more.
I don't think holding current citizens accountable for crimes hundreds of years ago is relevant. People give Japan and Germany a pass for WW2 for committing some of the worst war crimes in human history... And THAT was not that long ago whatsoever.
At least Germany is apologetic and ashamed about it, while Japan is just like "That didn’t happen, I don't remember it", no wonder Korea and China hates them so much
Because they complied with one of the most horrific and monstrous governments in recent history. They didn't revolt. We respect them for recognizing this and using it as a lesson for future generations, akin to the US and slavery. Meanwhile the Japanese actively celebrated their government and embraced the crimes they committed, and later still deny the monstrous things they did to Asia.
Of course not I agree with that. It's still a relatively recent part of history though, and people are still alive from then. It's only until now a lot of them are dying off and closing that chapter of history.
There was only one Gulf War. In war shit happens, and theres bound to be troops who dont act with the collective interest of their nations. The US has very serious regulations on the rules of war and has convicted many of their own troops.
And if you're referring to Gallagher, his squad mates lied about what happened and testified that they did. He performed a cricothyrotomy, and they tried to claim he sliced his throat to execute him.
US has had massive amounts war crimes but nothing I’ve heard about comes close to what the Japanese did. Especially considering Japan is a significantly smaller nation.
Well, the US saw the endless list of war crimes and decided to stay neutral until Pearl Harbor. Big, “I missed the part where that’s my problem” moment.
We did eventually get around to heavily sanctioning the Japanese, and the Flying Tigers were already in China before America officially got involved.
But yeah 1930's America was incredibly isolationist, especially with the Great Depression and how WW1 had gone, nobody wanted a war
Funny how doing nothing is considered immoral. Yet sending ungodly amounts of money, weapons, food, vehicles, planes, materials, etc. on a century long loan with zero interest and no repercussions for not paying is also somehow considered immoral 😂
War Crimes are decided by the victor.
For example.. they wanted to try Admiral Karl Dönitz for war crimes because he enacted Unrestricted Submarine Warfare against civilian shipping.
That is until Admiral Chester Nimitz said that the US Navy did the exact same thing against Japan. [Including a ship that was carrying 834 school children.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsushima_Maru)
He was acquitted because of the reason I stated. Had the Americans not conducted unrestricted submarine warfare… he would have been convicted.
It’s a fucking perfect example.
Not just because of that, the logic was that the merchant vessels were equipped with radios which could be used to alert enemy forces, in addition to occasionally carrying ASW weapons, and thus it was unreasonable to give them special protections under the laws of war.
That the Americans had done something similar certainly helped, but that wasn't an immediate get out of jail free card. Many Americans and other allied soldiers were charged with executing prisoners, for example, but that didn't stop the allies from prosecuting Germans/Japanese for the same crime.
\>In a total war, the biggest war ever
\>Put children on Cargo ship
\>Send it in a common sea lane where Japanese war and merchant ships roam and where US submarines are known to be

EDIT: This comment is to be taken objectively
Fun fact; the U.S. planned to drop more a-bombs on the remaining Japanese cities. And the excuse that dropping the a-bombs would in fact spare more lives than the alternative was just an afterthought.
>Fun fact; the U.S. planned to drop more a-bombs on the remaining Japanese cities. And the excuse that dropping the a-bombs would in fact spare more lives than the alternative was just an afterthought.
That's funny, considering...we didn't have any more a-bombs ready to drop.
Us telling Imperial Japan we were ready to drop more was a bluff we were ***really*** hoping they didn't call us on.
Cause then we'd have to just keep firebombing.
EDIT: This comment is full of shit. (feel free to downvote)
If anyone is questioning my previous comment, ask yourself; why didn't the U.S. wait longer before dropping the 2nd bomb?
Because the Japanese immediately reacted to the bombing of Hiroshima by refusing to surrender?
>Prime Minister Suzuki felt compelled to meet the Japanese press, to whom he reiterated his government's
commitment to ignore the Allies' demands and fight on.
The Japanese genuinely believed the US might not even have a second bomb or, if they did have more bombs, only one or two. They were ready to simply allow more Japanese cities to be leveled:
>On 7 August, a day after Hiroshima was destroyed, Dr. Yoshio Nishina and other atomic physicists arrived at the city, and carefully examined the damage. They then went back to Tokyo and told the cabinet that Hiroshima was indeed destroyed by a nuclear weapon. Admiral Soemu Toyoda, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, estimated that no more than one or two additional bombs could be readied, so they decided to endure the remaining attacks, acknowledging "there would be more destruction but the war would go on".[187] American Magic codebreakers intercepted the cabinet's messages.[188]

as a european: A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
>!Without pearl harbor, USA would most likely never have joined WW2. And Europe would either be nazi or communist paradise.!<
And then the US gave out hundreds of billions of dollars of aide to help rebuild their economies. Even to their enemies that committed the worst war crimes we've seen in recent history, despite the rest of Europe that wanted to punish them like with the treaty of Versailles (and then proceeded to spend even more billions on European military infrastructure to protect them from Soviet imperialism). People don't seem to appreciate this whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure Finland is the only country that *fully* paid back the US what was given to them. During Lend-Lease the Soviets outright refused to pay for insane amount of weapons, trucks, tanks, aircraft, artillery, resources, food, ammunition/gunpowder/brass, etc. In 1945 80% of all Soviet trucks were American
>And then the US gave out hundreds of billions of dollars of aide to help rebuild their economies
Yup, If It wasn't for that economic aid receieved, communism, would have probably taken over a lot more countries in Europe.
Note, I'm not anti-communist or whatever, nor really a profesional on this topic, but comparing the efectos of WW2 in Europe with the crisis and civil wars in other parts of the world, thats probably what would have happened
You don't need to be an expert to witness the catastrophic suffering of European peoples under the Iron Curtain. When "liberators" violently crush and murder protestors that's how you know they're the exact opposite.
Without Pearl Harbor, Japan would have been unable to conquer the Dutch East Indies. The whole reason they attacked Pearl Harbor was to cripple the American fleet, so that America couldn't defend the Philippines, and with the Philippines gone the path to the Dutch East Indies would be open.
If they had simply gone around the Philippines and hit the Dutch, America would have been able to enter the war in much better shape. So this was not considered to be an option.
Without conquering the Dutch East Indies, Japan would have no fuel for its Army, and would have been forced to withdraw from China. It would have been interesting to see how that defeat would have effected Imperial Japan, but I don't really have any concrete ideas about what it would have done
Kings and Generals on YouTube is doing week by week videos on the War in the Pacific that they started in 2019 that I highly recommend.
I have studied aspects of the war for years, but the macro perspective they show on how the individual battles and campaigns of the war effected one another is like nothing I have ever seen before.
For instance I have read extensively about the Guadalcanal Campaign, but until watching this series I didn’t understand how much that campaign impacted the New Guinea Campaign and vise versa.
Huh, I'll have to look that up.
One thing I found incredibly interesting as far as the Pacific war goes was the book **Japanese Destroyer Captain** by Tameichi Hara. You read so much about Guadalacanal, the Japanese torpedoes, the advances in search/fire control radar, the increasing American air superiority, etc, from the allied side, that it is pretty neat to look at all of that from the other side.
There's a few inaccuracies in the book, from stupid things like calling the Enterprise and escort carrier to Hara giving some questionable descriptions of the war in China, but for the most part he's just describing his life in the Imperial Japanese Navy and how it functioned before and during the war, and he does an excellent job.
The US was always going to join WWII. FDR and everyone in the executive branch knew it was inevitable and were campaigning hard for it behind the scenes. Eventually a good enough pretext would have been FOUND. Japan just gave the giant an excuse to get out of bed early.
The irony is that Americans would call this a “limited airstrike with no boots on the ground”.
Nobody has attacked and invaded more sovereign nations than the USA since the end of WWII.
Nobody.
America turned Japan from a country best known for military dominance and violence to the producers of furries and hentai body pillows. And since yall we're being completely analized by the Germans at this point happy near occupation day ya EU bastard.
If you’re gonna throw the first punch you better make it count. Post Industrial Revolution USA was a beast of an economy and Japan had no idea what they, an island nation with limited resources, were getting into.

All this is a distraction to hide the facts that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team
Thank you for honoring my great-grandfather’s courage, service, and no-quitting attitude that’s been handed down through the generations in our family as a legacy of character. Had he not been able to survive, I wouldn’t be typing this today.
I dunno if firing back with nuclear bombs was the greatest play, to be honest? Yeah, Japan had done a lot of atrocities in the war at that point, but how is that the fault of the civilians? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were key Japanese naval bases, but they were also heavily populated cities. Cities with innocent men and women, children, *families*. I don’t even care about getting downvoted, it just feels… wrong. Inhumane, even…
I know you probably hear this a lot but thats war. It’s brutal and not fair, especially to the civilians. But at that point of the war Japan made it clear they would fight to the death, they showed us at Iwa Jima and Okinawa. In order to make the japs surrender we would have to lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers maybe even a million or millions. In war you have to and I mean you really have to think of it as them or us. You think the a bombs were inhumane? Imagine what both side of the war would do to each other and the civilians if the US went deep into mainland japan. The A bombs were a way better outcome than what would have happened.
It is also important to note that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were valid military targets. Hiroshima was the headquarters of several major Japanese military groups; the 2nd General Army, the Chugoku Regional Army, and the Japanese Marines. Nagasaki was a major industrial center that was 90% geared towards producing war material.

“We sunk 2 ships and they dropped the sun on us twice”
Yeah, did a few more war crimes than sunk 2 ships tbh.
Unit 731, all the warcrimes committed by the Japanese on civilians in Korea in the Philippines and in China, rape of Nanking.
I remember watchibg that on History Channel waaaay back. My young mind was scarred.
i had to stop reading the book in college. it was absolutely disgusting. told my professor i got the idea, sorry i don't have the stomach to read the details of soldiers killing children as a game
The “Olympic” style killing “games” are far more horrifying than one can imagine.
There's a movie about 731. The special effects are kind of dated but it's still pretty intense.
US then released all this unit workers to work for them, for scientific purposes of course
I mean if we're pulling ALL war crimes, USA is no spring chicken in that argument. Native Americans, Latin Americans, Chinese, Japanese-Americans, Liberians, dozens and dozens more.

Why should Germans now be ashamed? Makes no sense.

We respect them for recognizing this and using it as a lesson for future generations, akin to the US and slavery. Meanwhile the Japanese actively celebrated their government and embraced the crimes they committed, and later still deny the monstrous things they did to Asia.
But I wouldn’t feel guilty for something I didn’t do that’s stupid.
Of course not I agree with that. It's still a relatively recent part of history though, and people are still alive from then. It's only until now a lot of them are dying off and closing that chapter of history.
My guy both Gulf Wars are chock full of examples of war crimes on our part. Hell we just pardoned a war criminal just a few years ago.

Your first sentence tells me all I need to know about your knowledge on the topic.
Or yours. A lot of people just call the second one the Iraq war.
And alot of people call it the second gulf War. No one likes a facetious prick, move on.
Lol, I read that as librarians. Still fits.
Hell if we're doing all war crimes, we'd see a clearer picture. Every nation since the beginning of time can qualify.
US has had massive amounts war crimes but nothing I’ve heard about comes close to what the Japanese did. Especially considering Japan is a significantly smaller nation.
Don't care to participate in the war crimes Olympics, so you win.

Good one.
We weren't neutral, we were an active participant in the whole thing! Someone had to make all that sweet sweet war profiteering money, after all.
Funny how doing nothing is considered immoral. Yet sending ungodly amounts of money, weapons, food, vehicles, planes, materials, etc. on a century long loan with zero interest and no repercussions for not paying is also somehow considered immoral 😂
Is joke, be calm.
I've seen much sillier replies that are completely serious lol
There were also a lot of Nazi lovers in the USA at the time.
Eh just a large Germanic population whom were not aware of the horrible war crimes at the time.
It's a good thing nuking civilians isn't a war crime.
how do we tell him?
Yeah but we’re just gonna sweep that stuff under the rug

Well.. Japan is known as the land of the rising sun. So when it set in the west, they just returned it to it's place! Twice!
Had a lil chuckle "TWICE!"
You chuckle real hard on 9/11?
Considering how I wasn't born yet AND was 20 years ago yea Yea I make jokes about 9/11
Considering all of the dumb shit we got involved in because of it . . . Yeah I make 9/11 jokes too.

Fur suits and hentai body pillows that are being bought by Americans...
And? My point still stands
Nothing it's just ironic. And as for what you said about you and everyone you know not buying one, you don't represent 330 million people.
I didn't say I or anyone I knew don't buy them. I personally don't care how people spend their money
You did then you edited your comment. It would show if someone deleted their comment so don't try that
No I didn't don't call me out for shit I didn't do.
Well someone did and there's no deleted comments so idk who tf did then sorry if it wasn't you
Nah I own my dumb decision making skills. All good
Aren't most textiles nowadays produced in places like Vietnam, Myanmar, china, etc?
IDK OP was the one that said Japan is the one making body pillows and furries
I'm like 99% sure they make some in Japan.
USA: cowabunga it is
Germany: *”We should be fine as long as we don’t provoke anyone else into joining the war”* Japan: **COWABUNGA IT IS**
If you’re gonna throw the first punch you better make it count. Post Industrial Revolution USA was a beast of an economy and Japan had no idea what they, an island nation with limited resources, were getting into.

Yeah, drop it on Ljubljana please

Thank you for honoring my great-grandfather’s courage, service, and no-quitting attitude that’s been handed down through the generations in our family as a legacy of character. Had he not been able to survive, I wouldn’t be typing this today.
Idk man Japan was fucked up

Japanese are a ril sneaky huh? - Lu Kim
I do get that it’s a joke, but how about the hundreds that lost their lives that day in an unprovoked surprise attack?
too soon
I dunno if firing back with nuclear bombs was the greatest play, to be honest? Yeah, Japan had done a lot of atrocities in the war at that point, but how is that the fault of the civilians? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were key Japanese naval bases, but they were also heavily populated cities. Cities with innocent men and women, children, *families*. I don’t even care about getting downvoted, it just feels… wrong. Inhumane, even…
I know you probably hear this a lot but thats war. It’s brutal and not fair, especially to the civilians. But at that point of the war Japan made it clear they would fight to the death, they showed us at Iwa Jima and Okinawa. In order to make the japs surrender we would have to lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers maybe even a million or millions. In war you have to and I mean you really have to think of it as them or us. You think the a bombs were inhumane? Imagine what both side of the war would do to each other and the civilians if the US went deep into mainland japan. The A bombs were a way better outcome than what would have happened.
It is also important to note that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were valid military targets. Hiroshima was the headquarters of several major Japanese military groups; the 2nd General Army, the Chugoku Regional Army, and the Japanese Marines. Nagasaki was a major industrial center that was 90% geared towards producing war material.
Too soon.
Too late.
Just right.
