America is the first country that even the Japanese right-wing will admit clearly defeated Japan militarily. This had some effect on the Japanese consciousness. Again, this is something I've had told to me in bars. "Youwon, and yet, you rebuilt our country".
美国是甚至连日本右翼分子都承认的打败了日本的第一个国家,这在日本人的思想中产生了很大影响。在酒吧中曾经多次有人告诉我说:“你们(美国人)赢了,但是你们又重建了我们的国家”
The atrocities committed by Japanese against Americans (the Bataan death march, the Burma railway, etc. etc.) took place far from American soil. If there had been an Imperial Japanese army occupying California, we might be arguing about 'the rape of LA' instead of discussing how many hundred thousand civilians were senselessly and brutally raped and slaughtered in theRape of Nanking, aka the Nanking Massacre . The Japanese army wasn't rounding up American women at gunpoint to become 'comfort women'. I've met people in China whose parents were victims in Nanking. I've met children of Koreans who were brought to Japan as slave laborers to work in the factories. That's not the kind of thing you forget.
二战期间的日本飞行员
日本承认的对美军的暴行(巴丹死亡行军,(修筑)缅甸铁路等)都是发生在远离美国本土的地方。如果日本“皇军”曾经侵占国加州,我们现在抗议的就应该是“洛杉矶暴行”,而不是讨论在“南京暴行”亦称“南京大屠杀”中有几十万人倍残忍无情的强暴和屠杀。日军没有围捕美国女性并用枪逼迫她们成为“慰安妇”。我在中国遇到一些人,他们的父母是南京大屠杀的受害者,我也曾见过韩国的儿童被带到日本工厂中当奴隶劳工。这些事情都是令你无法忘记的。
遭日军虐待的美国人
Unit 731 was in China - read this wikipedia entry if you have a strong stomach. They killed thousands of Chinese in germ warfare and vivisection experiments in their facilities. Additionally they actively used germ warfare in China - In 2002, Changde, China, site of the flea spraying attack, held an "International Symposium on the Crimes of Bacteriological Warfare" which estimated that at least 580,000 people died as a result of the attack.[30] The historian Sheldon Harris claims that 200,000 died.[31]. If this had been Chicago or Dallas, Americans would feel as angry as the Chinese.如果你的承受力足够强大,可以看一下维基百科上的”731部队在中国”这个词条。731部队通过细菌战以及实验室中的活体解剖实验杀死了成千上万的中国人民。此外,他们在中国还积极推行细菌战—2002年, 在细菌战的发生地常德举办了“细菌战罪行国际专题研讨会”,会上估计至少有580000人死于日军的细菌战(史学家Sheldon Harris认为是200000).如果这发生在芝加哥或者达拉斯,美国人民也会跟中国人一样愤怒。
