An elderly Japanese veteran’s recollection of how he ordered his men to use a Chinese prisoner as a target for bayonet drill, reasoning that the soldiers needed to develop some “backbone,” is proving highly controversial online.
The 90-year-old man, a resident of Wakayama prefecture, recounts how he served in the Imperial Japanese Army and was dispatched to Jiangxi in southern China in 1941, aged 20.
The men forced Chinese to provide them food, but he recalls doubts – “We were taught that this was a holy war to save the people of China, but I wondered if this was really right.” He was not told of the laws of war.
He experienced bitter fighting on the frontlines, and recalls that when not fighting he spent his time being beaten and whipped by superiors.
By 1943 he was a corporal, and in command of 5 conscripts himself. He tells how, in order to put some backbone into his men, he ordered them to bayonet a Chinese prisoner – a man in his mid twenties.
His hands were tied and the corporal ordered his men to charge the man one by one with fixed bayonets, each running 10m and then stabbing him in the chest. The prisoner screamed as he realised what his captors were about to do, but the soldiers had soon killed him.
After returning home he did not speak of the incident, though his recollection of the events never faded – “I did an inhuman thing.”
“My ignorance [of international law] caused me to give that order. We lost our reason in that kill or be killed world back then.”
Despite speaking about his war experiences repeatedly, only in 2010 did he reveal he ordered the murder – “If we don’t tell people, I fear the world may again descend into war.”
As ever, the 2ch response is instructive:
“More leftist fabrication?”
“Like that fake ‘Contest to behead 100 men‘ Mainichi reported.”
“You won’t instil any backbone in anyone by killing dirty Koreans or whatever anyway. Maybe if you killed hundreds like in the Nanjing massacre, but that was faked anyway.”
“He’s a B-class war criminal – he admits it. There should be no problem executing him – Mainichi did for the two officers in that contest.”
“This old man is not to be believed. He has no proof and it is all subjective. This biased newspaper probably made it up anyway.”
“International law is just an excuse – what about America’s indiscriminate bombing and nuclear attacks?”
“Prisoners of war were considered despicable cowards in Imperial Japan, and the feeling seems to be they didn’t deserve to live in case they committed further acts of treachery. And all human lives were treated like disposable trash in that period…”
“Maybe in Japan, but other countries treated PoWs well.”
“There’s no statute of limitations for war crimes is there? Won’t he be tried?”
“There are no laws against war crimes in Japan. As a result there are no war criminals in Japan. The A/B/C class war criminals were just a farce made up by the UN.”
“They should really try him. The death penalty is only fitting.”
“They had 3 million troops in China so it probably did happen here and there. The net right wingers are always babbling about their horrible delusions that Nanjing, comfort women and Unit 731 were all made up.”
“It was just him being an idiot. I wish he’d stop saying the whole army was bad just because of what he did. At least, I wouldn’t have killed a prisoner.”
“If he really was ashamed of what he did, why didn’t he tell the Chinese and accept their punishment? This is a clear war crime. He didn’t think the prisoner was even a human being, and just used him as an object for his men to train on as he thought they needed it, and ordered it all. But when he lost the war he ran off.
It can hardly be called sincere for him not to confess for all this time. He should have apologised to the prisoner by taking his own life. What a spineless coward.”
“Wasn’t the prisoner a guerilla? You don’t have to treat them as PoWs…”
“For doing something so atrocious you just want to tell him to go and slice open his own belly, don’t you? This old fool is busy shifting the blame for his actions – I hope he dies soon. And to think this guy is probably getting a war pension…”
“Note – ‘he thought it necessary’ – it wasn’t the army’s fault, this was just one crazy soldier’s decision!”
“All responsibility lies with the Showa Emperor. As he has inherited the responsibility, executing the Heisei Emperor is fine too.”
“Japan took relatively good care of its prisoners. This was just one man’s actions.”
“The net rightist filter:
Q1. Is he alive?
YES→ to Q2
NO→An honoured spirit of Yasukuni
Q2. Did he say something?
YES→ to Q3
NO→A Hero of the Empire
Q3. Was it favourable to the Imperial Army?
YES→ A Hero of the Empire
NO→Traitor”
“Another fanciful lie. There’s no way a mere corporal could have decided what to do with prisoners. You underestimate the Imperial Army.”
“They don’t even give his name – just another fake.”
“They should turn him over to China.”
“You guys, denying anything inconvenient to your point of view is really bad. Scepticism is important, but denying everything based on ideology is the same level as those dirty Koreans.”

Hi, a Korean here,
I would really like it if you stopped calling us "dirty." It doesn't make us feel very nice, you see. I shower every day and I smell like vanilla.
From,
Lily
Korean girls are hot!
Let me fix that for you...
Asian girls a hot!
It's not surprising, we saw what the Japanese did to prisoners on the islands that were being recaptured from them and other areas as well as heard the stories of what they did to the Koreans.
To stop a way of life is about what world wars are fought for in the first place. To stop a very bad way of life that causes even more and more pain upon every one. This guys story is just one of a million but one that was told, the rest took what they did to their graves.
Only take av 's fuck country.
I've heard worse stories from my father when he was in the navy and when he was in a POW camp
Whoaaaaaa, people in your father's POW camp were subjected to severe frostbite in their limbs, then had each limb amputated one by one without anesthesia, then had their still-live head and torso experimented upon with biological weapons?
DAMN, son.
War in itself is a crime. All who participate in it are guilty. War doesn't create heroes or villains because, at the end of the day, all soldiers who survived a battlefield have blood on their hands.
The rom,atic garbage is only suitable for Hollywood. Veterans could tell you something about the mental and physical traumas that will haunt them for the rest of their miserable lives.
It's really no use to shove around the moral highground and pass judgments on who's the worst "war-criminal" and which side killed more people.
As long as we can avert another WW we are on the right course.
Seems pretty sensible to me. Shooting someone 100m away is probably easier than stabbing them without previous experience, so making them get a feel for it beforehand sounds like a good idea.
Living Target
Not better way to test human killer weapons...
2ch defending japanese war crimes? Wow, just... wow...
Maybe the 2ch should remember this; "Ninja and Samurai cannot survive the fissioning of the Atom"
Wow those fuckers at 2ch really hate Korean's. Buncha racist pricks over there.
In Japan
South Korea is the one like Islam in the United States.
while the whole load of you are here fucking each other, the real villains who created wars and pushed all men into desperation are sitting high up counting their money
The Japanese did something worse... Unit 731.
Well....i'm happy the American decide to Bomb The japanese. If not, They still think japan can win the war & what they do are right. Hearthless japanese...
The only reason the Japanese continue to say the rape of Nanking never happened, is because "Nanking never felt it with our tiny, miniscule, insignificant penises"
Man, who downvoted this? Best post in the entire fucking thread.
Yeah , but not justn't that, a long ago japanese has colonize indonesian just for 3 years, but it worse than when netherland colonize, they make the people to work like an animal, even they don't care about their health , they kidnap young girl to become their army's *** slave . ., and they used the people to make their pawn's for war, and after they lose they left the country without any reciprocation. and now they angry just because of the past, and so they forget about their sins. . . what the heck is this . .
Wow, never knew living in denial could go this far.
There were international laws already back then? And signed by Japan?
Otherwise, there would be no crime here as something has to be illegal to be a crime.

God, these Japanese youths are so clueless. They say Japan is more progressive than backwards China, but their ignorance of Nanjing is just as bad as Chinese youths' ignorance of Tiananmen.
It's pretty bad when people in foreign countries know your country's history better than you do.

Well, 2ch, here was your chance to sign up for the Imperial Army and show your patriotic fervour at last and teach these Chinese and Korean upstarts to learn their place and not challenge your beloved Empire for doing what it should do.
And how did you react?
You all bloody chickened out.
And thanks to you guys holing up and playing eroge all day, China has now taken over your country as the 2nd largest economy in the world.
And if you guys believe fervently in 1940s militarism, do you think a government like that would have allowed the likes of you to even survive? They would have thrown you in the concentration camps to rot, while poking bayonets at your beloved 2D girl figures.
If possible, these xenophobic hikkikomori Scum should be gathered in one spot (away from all the other sensible Japanese people) and have a 3rd nuke tossed at them. They're useless to society and they can't procreate (if jacking off to 2D girls is their idea of procreating), so they might as well rid themselves from the human gene pool once and for all.
Fucking racist cunts.
Can you give me an "Amen" !
Lol, from most of the comments here I can tell that most of you are chinese dick riders. Poor helpless china, the victim of Japan...... what a load of shit seriously.
How can they claim to be victims when they are doing the same thing today in Tibet, beating up defenseless monks who cant fight back. Chinese propaganda at its best, pretending to be victims so that no one pays attention to the brutalities that they are committing today.
To be fair, Chinese citizens are oppressed and ruled by their own government. In WW2, they were slaughtered by the Japanese. The damn citizens just can't get break. It's f'n sad.
The commie apologists aside, no one else here is saying what Communist China is doing is right, but that alone does not justify these 2ch dicks from their irresponsible behaviour.
And you wonder why the Communist Party finds it so easy to control their masses, because 2ch constantly feeds them the xenophobic ammo on their own.
Just because you've raped my mom doesn't mean I'm entitled to rape your mom back.
lol
another propaganda-washed fag
do some research and you will know what did those "defenseless monks" do
The Tibetan monks were as bad as the Chinese commies:

"“You guys, denying anything inconvenient to your point of view is really bad. "
This guy is a genius.
"Scepticism is important, but denying everything based on ideology is the same level as those dirty Koreans."
Then he says this.
:|
I'm sure that old man is delusional. Much better to believe government sponsored text books than actual Imperial army veterans.
wow they call us dirty koreans?????? those arrogant japanese should all die
2ch trolls are still trolls. Consider 2ch like 4ch.
As for what I think, it happened decades ago and the guy's remorseful. No reparations can be made over even one unnecessary death, so just get over it. This world needs to grow up on so many levels, seriously...
In WWII there really was good and evil sides.
Japan unfortunately was on the side of evil in that war.
As for the US's use of nukes it was only after much deliberation and in the end the action resulted in less deaths on both sides.
An invasion of Japan would have resulted in far more death then those two bombs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall
The generally inexcusable treatment of POWs ,use of germ warfare and the vile actions at unit 731 in China probably helped the decision.
The irony is that surrendering to the US may have been the one thing that saved Japan from Soviet occupation and allowed it to quickly recover and become a great economic power.
Much less deaths than an unnecessary invasion, you mean. America wanted Japan to agree to an unconditional surrender (even Churchill thought they were insane) and turn the country into another puppet state. And even if the Soviets had occupied Japan, they did the same to East Germany. East Germany may have suffered greatly at their hands, but nowhere near as much as Japan did with the bombings.
Why do we always have to try to justify the unjustifiable? And why do we have to stick up for one country when putting others down? Germany, the USSR and Japan may have been the worst overall, but the USA's atomic bombings are definitely among that war's shameful "highlights".
Just about all participants in WW2 behaved despicably. Understandable, given the vicious desperation of that war, but not forgiveable.
yeah, while pardoning them for their warcrimes and even lets them continue their human experimentations with CIA support.
It's known fact that the US pardoned the key scientists of the Unit 731 in exchange for cooperation in continueing their germ-warfare research program under the command of the US.
They even let the same people (Dr. Shiro Ishii for exp.), who killed and tortured thousands of people with their experimentations, to continue their researches on living humans during Korean War, with Chinese and North Korean POW's as victims.
And all the results from these research, was used to develop germs and agents for chemical and biological warfare, as used in Agent Orange during Vietnam War.
If there is an absolute prince of evil in this world, then it's the USA with their equally evil cronies under their protective organisation, called 'the free world'.
“International law is just an excuse – what about America’s indiscriminate bombing and nuclear attacks?”

国際法なんて建前でしかない事はアメリカの無差別爆撃と原爆投下が教えてくれた
I feel like some people fail to see this for what it is. If true then it is just another story about the horrors of war and the monstrous capabilities of human nature. If fake then its a poor peice of propaganda since I almost feel as sorry for the old man as the guy that was bayonetted to death for having to live with the guilt. In reallity, war is ugly and rittled with a history of unforgivable and unspeakable deeds that were commited in the name of the cause or patriotism. Im not saying war justifies these actions but its no reseason to condem a 90 year old man for something he did ages ago; you learn from it and move on trying not to this kind of stuff happen agian in the future.
we can not learn from it !!!
each time a big war come ... those horrible things will a start all over !!
its still happening today and the history keep repeating !!
Yeah, I see your point. It's a case of "It was a good idea at the time" If i have to give it a humorous touch.
But yeah, isn't there a saying that goes a soldier kilss and a man lives with it? or something like that i am not sure.
Was "dirty Koreans" really called for?
For those of you claiming fire bombing of Tokyo, check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Firebombing_leaflet.jpg
We warned them to get out...so as to limit civilian casualties. We do that nowadays too....its called PsyOps. We have USAF/Army units trained on this thing....only with modern channels(TV, paper, radio, internet?)
The South Korean and Chinese fabricate and shout these.
They always say, "facts...facts...facts...", but do not present the precise data. (It is not possible to do. Because such a thing doesn't exist. )
The historical science researcher in the United States investigated various data and proved there was no such facts.
They fabricate fake stories, and in every case demand money from Japan.
These are the activities concerning finance.
“You guys, denying anything inconvenient to your point of view is really bad. Scepticism is important, but denying everything based on ideology is the same level as those dirty Koreans.”
When I first started reading that comment, I thought it was posted by a reasonable, open-minded and non-discriminatory human being. Then I lol'd.
Japanese can deny it all they want but the world knows that Japan during that time was the worst war criminals ever. They were more cruel than Nazis. It's a waste of time for Japanese to deny. It's already known all over the world what they did. "You reap what you sow". It all eventually came back to Japan with Japan getting wiped out completely. Japan is to blame for all of WW2 in Asia. They alone started it and they alone acted like barbarians first. It wasn't until everyone realized how barbaric Japanese were that they felt no need to give mercy to Japan anymore. Had Japan shown even a little mercy to the Asian countries they invaded (that set the groundwork for WW2) they would have been loved by those Asian countries. Instead they thought themselves superior. The issue is not war or fighting. It's cruelty. That is what is the focus. Japan was unusually cruel to civilians they encountered. Inhuman. There's no possible way for anyone to see Japan in any other way back then other than inhuman.It is not a good thing to want to see violence happen to anyone, but it was nature's justice. It's a natural thing that occurs even if you take morality out of it. You behave like demons to innocent people then eventually it will be your turn to feel the demon's wrath. If one ant colony goes to kill another ant colony, but loses that battle, the other ant colony who never attacked before will completely destroy the first attackers. Japan was evil in early part of 1900s. They eventually had to be on the receiving end of evil. It is called human justice. It has nothing to do with religion, culture, nation. It is a tribal thing deep within all human beings. Show no mercy at all, and no mercy will be shown to you. The decision to fire bomb Japan into nothing was the proper decision for that time. As were the decisions to use atom bombs. It's easy now to sit at a computer looking at old documents and photos and judge. But it was the right decision for that moment it time. It guaranteed the most evil nation ever to exist would have no chance of ever doing that again. Nobody in history murdered more innocent people than the Japanese did during those days. Not even the old ruthless Mongul hordes, European invaders of Africa and Americas, nor the Roman Empire killed more people than Japanese did during those days. It's easily 30 million people. Probably more. Japanese even admits it's about 15 million and no nation ever admits to more than it did. Fire bombing Japan allowed allowed Japan to focus on their economy, engineering, and other things they are very good at instead of their demonic obsession to take over Asia and Pacific Islands. America showed great mercy once the war was ended. America could have simply left Japan to allow China and Russia to fight over it and we know that Russia and China would have raped, tortued, murdered ruthlessly to get their revenge. America could have taken over Japan easily and made it US territories permantenly. Japan was shown great mercy once the battle ended. When you read the diaries and journals of ordinary citizens once Americans arrived, it was overwhelming that the people preferred America system to old Japanese ways. Many many Japanese felt liberated too. That cannot be said of Japan whenever they won a battle. They stayed intensely merciless and cruel even in victory when it was completely unnecessary to act that way to a defeated, humiliated, conquered people. It was in their nature to be cruel. Japan still has cruelty in their every day society but it's mostly related to work patterns, communications problems, and no interest in an individual becoming something the group does not them to be. But at least they have no super power anymore to torture anyone else. A good thing to know their cruelty was beaten out of them completely and likely forever. A good thing to see China rising as the superpower since China never invaded other people. They are crazy of course lol but at least they keep their crazy close to their homeland. Good to know Japan can never again murder tens of millions of innocent Asian "brothers and sisters" simply because they thought it was exciting to do such things.
I know they were evil during the war and the people who did that are evil and horrible and must be punished..
But to say we need to nuke japan again seems a bit harsh..
I'm part japanese and i'm tired of people thinking cause the idiots from back then did something, I'm totally gonna do the same thing :(
The japanese are guilty of trying to erase their horrific behavior in WWII. Their racism may have even surpassed the germans, Survival rate of POWs in german POW camps was something like 97%, while in Japan I know the survival rate of the POWs from the Phillipines was 30% or so. The japanese would fight to their own extermination in the pacific, the fighting far more humane in europe.
It is rather interesting that the two defeated nations in WWII for many many years had the 2nd and 3rd highest ranked economies post war.
Oh god are people still spewing this "the bomb saved lives" propaganda...
Just nuke japan again for chrissakes.
To anyone saying the Japanese didn't do heinous war crimes read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
The most horrible unimaginable torture was committed for biological warfare research on living Chinese as guinea pigs. And the funny thing is, the people who did the experiments all got a away free in return for handing their research over to the U.S.
lets talk about recently :p
about a war the all of us was born :p
Iraq prisoners :)
so you see if human still exist there are no peaceful wars :p
Time to look forward.
As Chinese I'm pretty cool with all those right-wingers and racists ranting about 'us dirty Chinese', since it just proof that they feel threatened and cornered by China's growing power.
Not only did China overtook Japan in terms of PPP like a decade ago, but also in terms of GDP recently, making it the second largest economy in the world.
And reading the 2010 DOD Pentagon Report about the Chinese Military, and imagining all the wet panties of fat, middle-aged american politicians, I can surely say that the century of weakness and humiliation for the Chinese people is finally over.
It's now up to Japan to bend over. And no amount of sucking off America will save them in the long run.
Laws of war. War shouldn't have laws, its war. Always with ye persons with ye laws and such. Its War, its human nature at its primal worse....laws. Pfft. Rape, pillage, and burn as in the olde days...
I just wonder where does all this 2ch denial stem from.
Japan needs another nuking.
Yeah, I read about this happening at the WW2 museum in New Orleans. War is hell, but you expect there to be some humanity and empathy for POWs. Sure, you can keep them in cages and kick 'em some. But to feed them to the bayonets? That's evil, no matter which way you look at it.
OK the war crimes of a individual that happened years ago, check, 2ch stupidity check, racism check. AH HISTOY! always bring out the worse in people, opps thats war, maybe both but seriously what happened happen i mean yeah he murder someone but it was WAR and you know what sad, it is the fact that the 2ch faggots believe that japan was innocent during war world 2, seriously ? theirs even evidence that prove otherwise,"the japanese treated there prisoners very weel" ? wtf, i know ignorance is bad but damn man, world war 2 was bad, the nazis and japan were FUCKED UP, i can not stress on that and no country was "innocent" but germany and japan took the cake on awful but it happened what 80 years ago, isn't it time to move on ? though 2ch needs to read up on their history because many of them are amazingly ignorant.
In my opinion the Japanese were worse. Yes the nazis were bad, but they were brainwashed to think all jews were bad and shit and all their cruelty was based on ideology, compared to the Japanese who just did shit like that for the hell of it and most importantly, because they could.
Ya'll trolls postin in a nigga thread
A man can say he knows what it's like to be penetrated.
Woot woot! FLAME WAR!!!!
Every one just believes and syas the same crap about wars that we never fought in fist place.
Let our parents to carry the hate and sorrow of the battles they fought.
We, the idiots of the present, are the people with the mission of never let this happend again in our days.
Stop blaming for stupid things that will never change, no matter how LOUD you say war happened, it 'll never change.
Living in the past is the reason for having terrorist and extremist factions, that want to go back to the past, don't let that happend, don't fall in that trap.
'I fear the world may again descend into war'
for thousands of years humankind kas been into wars, wars are going on and people are killed even as we speak, this has always been a part of civilisation. is it really a question of 'if' we(i mean most of us who have never seen war) will see war or is it a question of when, i bet on the later one, its just a matter of time till there is war for one reason or other
Ok, another war-crime from Japan from the past(True or not).
So what Japan should do more than apologizing?
More better saying, how japan should compensate then?
Nothing. Sharing the story is enough.
If we have to apologize for all the mistakes we've made in the past, there's wouldn't be time to do anything else.
So I have something to show for you...
South K "Kan's apologies is not enought. What all Koreans want is conpensations fron Japan Governs."
Obs: Compensations of WW2 was ALREADY given.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/newskorea/archives/1282608.html
(In japanese)
LOL!!!
Apologizing? How about apologizing to Tibet and compensating them. Dirty hypocrites.
If I recall, China didn't ransack the place and beheaded tibetans for fun.
I also so in your other post that the Japanese were the best Asian race. I hope you're trolling because there is this moment in history were the japanese didn't do a particular clever thing. I dunno if you've heard of Pearl harbour and the subsequent dicking you had to endure afterwards. But I guess that's what happens when an inferior race starts having delusions of grandeur and getting a bit too big for their boots.
And besides; all you asians look the same.
Humans should have extinct earlier I guess...
This kind of stuff happened on both fronts and quite often.
Just read a book as see what the Germans (specifically the SS death squads) and Russians (generally in revenge) did to each other, it was quite horrific.
2ch is just being 2ch.
I bet the British are kinda glad that America took all the "glory" in WWII.
I haven't seen a single comment about British War crimes.
Discuss.
:P
Korea would whoop Japan's ass in combat today, considering that the average Korean is drafted into mandatory service and they're generally on a higher state of alert, constantly.
And Japanese are offshoots of Koreans, so I don't know why they hate Koreans so much. It's like Americans hating the British for no apparent reason other than they don't like their accent, or some other ridiculous thing.
The two use the same grammar structures in their sentences as well, not to mention both learn kanji. Though I guess it can't be helped, seeing as East-Asian countries in general are extremely racist.
>>And Japanese are offshoots of Koreans, so I don't know why they hate Koreans so much. It's like Americans hating the British for no apparent reason other than they don't like their accent, or some other ridiculous thing.
1 - They want more than apologies. They want compensations.
More than what had given at end of the war after the defeat of japan.
2 - They want the history should be taught the same contents of Korean one.(Probably for they, Japan history are all of lies and Korean one is the right.)
And the Korea teaches the history of japan as country of uncivilized barbarians and Korea is the country what civilized japan.
And here why Korean history is considered distrusted at Japan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah_y7I2HxFs&feature=more_related [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah_y7I2HxFs&feature=more_related]
3 - They say the Tsushima and Takeshima(or Dokto as they prefer to call.) is Korean territory.
And looks like already have Korean army at Takeshima.
War. War never changes.
so what, we have enough chinks in the world, he did not only help japan he also helped the world for overpopulation
Chinks just replaced Japan as the world's 2nd largest economy. Suck on THAT.
what about America’s indiscriminate bombing and nuclear attacks?”
wtf why are you bringing that up! over something about PoW.
can you not get over it!
because if you can't even get over the bombings, then your just scum depending on past event's trying to make up excuses.
Japan started the war with America first FYI
so get your history straight, before japanese complain about THE BOMBINGS, because the bombings ENDED THE WAR
also we didn't kill any Japanese in America we just put them in camps so is that as bad as being stabbed in the chest?!?!
japan lost the war. every country that was ever attacked and/or occupied by japan during WW2 should have free manga and anime as compensation.
China just overtook Japan as the world's number 2 economy. And, clearly, whether judged by culture, intelligence, or creativity, the Japanese are superior to the Chinese.
If the axis won ww2, there wouldn't be one billion culturally revolutionized chinks roaming the earth, assembling inferior products for inferior people to buy.
More power to the people who know they are better because they act and think better. The world is flushing down the toilet, in case no one noticed.
The Japanese ripped off most of their culture from the Chinese, and the rest from Western civilization.
It's thanks to them that they are (were?) such a high potence.
Yeah, if not for them, the Japanese would be living like the Ainu or North American Indians (and not the Mesoamerican ones that built cities and other cool shit).
You would have to be a genuine chinaman to believe such tripe.
As for your second paragraph, I do not understand.
Clearly you've never heard of jofuku.
And you would have to be a genuine weeaboo to believe Japan itself created everything they have without the help of others.
You tell em brother!
Silly chinks should know their place. If they insist on being conniving scum then we will need some serious pest control.
If all Americans die, the victim of the war in the world is reduced to half
I hate to break it to you, but having the "big bully" in America has probably resulted in a decrease in major warfare. If only because the presence of a superpower means anyone that gets TOO aggressive gets their dick knocked in the dirt pretty fast.
Without America around, the unraveling of the former colonial world would probably be a lot bloodier than it has been. Stop deluding yourself, human nature leads to conflict. Having a system without a threat of overwhelming force just makes it more tempting to act on that nature.
I'm sure the Japanese believe your garbage when they attacked Pearl Harbor.
Go back to talking to yourself 'cuz your brain cell must be feeling lonely.
For real, it was war. Both sides did things that can't be forgiven, but if people hang on to the mistakes of the past, it will do nothing but cause more hate.
Also, those little fags out there that say things like I don't know shit, I study history and I am a Native American. Look up that history and see how it's would later be repeated in later wars.
For 2chan users and other world based users, please, get away from the computer sometime and see the sunshine or the moon. Notice, it the sun and moon is there for everyone, not just for one "chosen race of people." So get over it, move on and stop blaming America for everything, I am sure your nation isn't that great either.
"Native Americans" should have been driven south into Mexico, or genocided outright. Its too bad that didn't happen.
Nah, Native Americans are cool. The world could do with less chinks though, the scum of asia and the greatest race of deceivers.
Actually, America being named after Amerigo Vespucci is disputable, because if it was named after him, they would've used his last name instead because he wasn't a royal.
America was most likely be named after an english born welshman called Richard Amerike.
If they had the intelligence, they would realize "native american" is an insulting term, because AMERICA is named after the White Man Amerigo Vespucci.
I call them garbage, maybe its nicer than calling them savages, as the conquorors of this nation referred to them.
Granted, in the modern day, out of probably 95% of the injuns I've come across, they've been nice, easy to get along with people. Mind you, this is after their warrior class has been killed off. Makes me think of how world wars 1 and 2 could also be called White Wars 1 and 2 and be true (except for the Japanese allying with the Germans, good spirits the Japanese are).
