To be honest, I am getting a bit bored of seeing the pathetic excuse that passes for 'history' as it is known in Japan.
But in fairness, history is hardly something known with any meaningful level of detail and accuracy anywhere else.
Canada was NOT part of the 'bad guys' in the last century, but hey just ask one of our Native Peoples and they can dig up some skeletons just fine.
But Japan initiated a course of action in the 20th century, that resulted in MILLIONS of people being brutally edited from the tree of life in as many horrible ways as possible.
Korea, China, and just about anyone living on their side of the Pacific Ocean has no shortage of reasons for hating anything Japanese.
It's a wonder at all, that anything 'made in Japan' means squat to anyone out of Japan at all.
In 1970, I think I would likely be inclined to laugh at the sheer stupidity of the notion I would like anything much about the country aside from their being 'the other side' in most of my wargames, and the nation responsible for a lot of horrible history.
But times change, and today I think Tamiya is the king of models. I like the Nintendo DS and I have a Sony TV as well as a PS3.
But I think it is time for the USA to walk out of running Japan, protecting Japan, and enforcing a method of government on Japan that is really only a reflection of conditions that no longer have any relevance to the needs of the USA.
The only reason the USA has troops on Japanese soil, is because they are there to keep an eye on regional commies and the Russians (who are no longer commies, but no less the concern).
It's time the Japanese were told 'look your constitution is your business', rewrite if you want'. Because in the end, what is written there can always be edited eh. Just like the USA doesn't need anyone's permission to just re write their own. Granted the wording might require some careful thinking.
But it is also time the Japanese realised, 'hey you killed millions of Asians and peoples of the Pacific, and you might want to make a military capable of dealing with the fact THEIR history books likely remember things differently.
And that's what counts eh. I have no shortage of documentaries that recorded the 20th century juuuuuuust fine. I KNOW why the Japanese seem to think it is not odd to bury what we considered mass murdering psychos, in a public location normally reserved for men who died under more noble conditions.
The common schmuck Japanese fighting man of the early to mid 20th century was ok with dying for the emporer. They had a system of beliefs that made it that way. You didn't mourn the dead, you knew they were still around, and that they had died with honour. That is their way.
They don't see war dead the way we do in the west. Banzai charges were not 'useless wastes' to the Japanese.
But the revisionist crap is getting a bit much. It's illegal to deny the holocaust in Germany. They feel deep shame for that fucking Austrian corporal and his sick fucking cronies.
Myself, I wouldn't have any beef whatsoever with beating a neo nazi to death. It was permissible to kill them in the 40s, and I am in no way feeling bad about killing off the last of their illness even today.
Freedom of speech my fucking hairy ass.
