My father was not a forgive and forget kind of guy. He fought in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, and was on ships sunk by U-boats on several occations, and in Kamikazi attacks off Okinawa. Oddly enough, he reserved most of his vitrol for the Japanese. It always vexed him when I would study and build aircraft (and ships and tanks,) from the other side.Horrible things were done and said by both sides during the war in the Pacific. I think it is an interesting study in human behavior to see how things get viewed from the opposing sides. I have seen wartime cartoons, propaganda posters and the like that would be shocking by today's standards. But it is better to show and have people learn from it than to hide it, which could possibly make it happen again. I think most of us here look at history with an eye on facts and what happened. There is some emotion because of many factors, but it is the people who remove the emotional parts of history that have a better understanding of it.
