My grandfather served with MacArthur during the pacific War. I also knew a lot of old men in my neighborhood who fought against the Japanese when I was a kid. The stories they told of Japanese brutality were horrific. The Empire of Japan committed horrific war crimes against American POWs. Even hours before the Japanese surrendered American POWs were beheaded.
I first went to Japan in 1997. My boss was in a competition and I was assisting him. My grandfather's brother told my mother to tell me not to go to Japan. That they were the cruellest people and like to torture dogs to death for fun.
But I fell in love with Japan, its Culture and cuisine. I have been to Japan 6 since and have been all over Japan. Yeah, I got some bad looks but the Japanese I met were very good to me. I considered Japan a second home.
But I got to talk with native Japanese and they really don't know of the war crimes it committed, didn't know Pearl harbour was the reason for the war, why other Asian Countries really don't like them, etc.
The Japanese people in general are beautiful people. I blame the Government. Through their Denial, they keep the hate alive and the Japanese people uneducated.
Look at this site and do a google for "Japanese war crimes" to find more information.
Japan is a funny place. Japan has the highest percentage of sex slaves in the world, had child porn banned only a few years ago, prostitution on the streets, Pacciniko parlours everywhere paying out cash and they lock up people for years on minor drug charges.
I love Japan but I do believe their government needs to reform. Otherwise, China will swallow up Japan within a decade...IMHO
