The ironic thing about it all is that the Japanese and Chinese have common
ancesters. It wasn't a racist thing, it was just wanton brutality.

The allied troops, after seeing this happen over and over, tried to tell the
Philipeanos along the way not to risk their own lives yet they just kept trying
to get food and water to the troops.

I have read exerpts from it.

The Japanese were animals. They did things no human should do to even animals
let alone doing it to other humans.

They dwell on the nuclear bombs the US dropped on them and conveniently ignore
the atrocities they perpetrated on others.
