First a little more detail. My father is Chinese so I am Chinese. But my mother is Japanese. I grew up in suburban America speaking only English but secretly learning Japanese from my mother. It puts me in a unique place in the debate. I was offended by your statement about "killing Japs"...
The Japanese are very aware of WWII their entire life is shaped by it. How ridiculous to say they ignore it. At the start of WWII they ruled Asia, Korea, Taipei, etc. They were a massive world Power and the US was one of the lowest rated fighting forces in the world. Do you remember a few years...
