I totally agree. The US sent their aces home to teach the next class. Japan flew their aces to the death. And they willingly did it. Emperor worship was a powerful thing. This made things extremely difficult in the US Marine island campaign. The jap soldier was an extremely vicious and tenacious soldier. I’ve been to Japan hundreds of times and I find it hard to believe that these sweet, polite, and friendly people can be capable of extreme violence. China better think twice about attacking Taiwan because if the Japanese are (and they will be) involved, they’ll make Nanking look like child’s play.
