My great uncle was bayoneted and killed by a Japanese soldier on Saipan during the largest banzai charge of the war. He had jumped out of a foxhole to try and rescue a friend. I'm glad he died quickly and did not have to suffer the horrors of being a prisoner of the Japanese army. His buddies went on to take care of business though. Nearly all of the 4000+ Japanese soldiers who participated in that charge were wiped out.

In 1990 a freind of my brother who was a Japanese exchange student stayed with us in Australia for 12 months anyway long story short after about 6 months we were having a conversation where WW2 came up and he suddenly got very belligerent claiming that the Japanese were attacked first and it was obvious to me that he really didn't know much about the true history of what really happened, it was well known in Australian history about WW2 Japanese brutality. I gave him a couple of books to read one on the European theatre and another on the Pacific theatre to which he flat out refused to read or acknowledge.

The most important reason why Japan joined World War II was because Japan was embargoed on oil, coal, iron ore and steel. because Japan is actually a nation with minimal natural resources. In my opinion, the attack on the Bill Halberd military base with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was too cruel a response. where the Japanese killed war troops but the Americans killed civilians. but apart from that there are good things that will always be accepted by other nations such as Indonesia which can be independent and free from colonialism from both the right wing (Netherland) and the left wing (Japan). without having to be liberated by other nations such as the Commonwealth nations.

America already saw the need, the necessity, of having the Japanese as an ally after the war. The POWs were rescued, most of whom were emaciated down to 90 pounds from 160 or so. They were sworn to secrecy not to tell of the atrocities committed by the Japanese. During the several week boat ride back to the United States, they could eat whatever they wanted 24 hours a day. when I first heard that, I thought it was to reward them for their starvation they had endured. Obviously, that was true, up to a point. Once they quickly became accustomed to eating food again, they gained weight so as not to appear so emaciated when they met their family. As anyone who has ever gone on a starvation diet, or binge eating can attest to, a person can put on quite a bit of weight by eating several thousand calories per day, along with very little exercise.

Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Americans felt that since they didn’t start the war that they could use any means to end it. There was no decision to drop the bomb. America had spent so much time and money developing the bomb that they had to use it to justify the costs to tax payers. The B29 project actually costed more than the Manhattan project. The Japanese ended the war because Russian entered Manchuria in the end not because of the atomic bomb.
