    The problem with violence is that the bad guys are usually better at violence.

      Not true. Japan was definitely the Bad Guys. US was able to commit more violence then they were.

        The US wasn’t the good guys against Japan. They just were slightly less bad for about 5 years before and 6 months after.

            Or they know that there weren’t any “Good guys” around.

            The Japanese war crimes are well known in the West. The US ones are routinely glossed over or ignored.

            Wars don’t determine who was right. They determine who’s left.

              There are no evidence of US war crimes even coming close to Japan, Germany or Russia at the time or superceding it. Where are the tens of millions of bodies, rammer? Where are they?

        Sure but to Japanese Americans where the bad guys. Which is why the real world is more complicated then a movie but everyone wants to make it black and white.
