re: #77 Desert Dog

I would count the Japanese of today as honorable. But, you are stretching it a bit to consider them honorable during their “imperialistic phase”. They did not do the methodical genocide the Germans did, but they were anything but honorable in every area they invaded. Killing, rape, torture, looting, slavery is what they brought with them……

I don’t disagree. I did say they were brutal and ruthless. My main point was that in launching the surprise attack that America described as the Day of Infamy, they chose a well defended miltary base, not defenseless civilian targets.
