I agree with that statement. I can surely understand how a veteran who spent time in a German/Japanese POW camp can feel the way he does though. Having said that the younger generations can not take the blame for what happened back then, nor should they be put in the same pot as the ones who committed such things.
1. If we were to do something like that, then everyone in every country can take the blame for terrible things that happened in their countries. No country is innocent.
What the younger generations need to do however, is learn from the past mistakes to ensure that these things never happen again.
