I always point out the members of Unit 731 were sipping champagne with American diplomats ten years after the war ended, while the blast shadows of Korean slave labor and Japanese working class people painted the masonry
Too often when discussion of Japanese warcrimes comes up and the lack of “remorse” by Japanese elites, it’s never pointed out it was the Americans who pardoned or refused to prosecute the war criminals, the Americans had total control of Japan and Japanese society and yet anti-communism was more important than any conception of justice
Hell nobody even clocks the incredible and sickening irony that the US killed more Koreans in three short years, than compared to the totality of Japanese colonial history
The US absorbed and perfected Japanese colonialism
