Comments by "Taxtro" (@MrCmon113) on "Japan vs. The Islamic State" video.
***** "I assume you got an education in Japan?" No, in Germany. We barely talked about the war in the Pacific at all. "I never learned about a warcrime the U.S committed" Criticism on the USA is fairly common, but the Japanese citizens don't even get to learn the role of the country they are living in in it's last big war. That's almost deception, that's almost child abuse. "I also don't see the point of pressing this issue on a nation that has shown itself to be strictly pacifist." Well then you haven't learned anything from history either. If all you know is "war - bad, peace - good" then you are doomed to repeat the horrors of the past. War is not the problem. The society that breeds aggression and cruelty is the problem. Among other things there was a big lack of compassion in the Japanese and German societies, which again had reasons, which have to be explored and discussed at school.

A nightmare haunting the nation?! Japan got away best from WW2 in Asia, even though they were the aggressors. The problem is that the horrendous warcrimes of the Japanese are not properly taught in Japanese schools.

The lack of education on Japanese warcrimes in Japan today is one of the biggest shames of the modern world. If all you take from WW2 is "war is kinda bad", you have learned NOTHING.
