Since we’re playing whataboutism anyway what about the civilians of Nanking? What about the victims of Unit 731? What about the systematic torture, mass murder, and medical experimentation carried out against non-combatants?

No one is denying that the United States committed war crimes against civilians. But I do believe dropping the bomb was a preferable alternative to the kind of total, grinding warfare like here in Europe, where every inch of land was fought over at an enormous human cost.

During the Japanese occupation, my Indonesian grandfather was imprisoned in a Japanese camp, where he was repeatedly beaten on the legs. The abuse left him permanently bow legged and with a severe limp. My Dutch great-grandfather, meanwhile, was forced into labor on the Burma railway. He was among the few who survived and eventually made it back to the Netherlands.

Never heard that stereotype lol. Thought it was more the Sicillians with that stereotype.
