[razziphotos]

well this is all good but to get the full picture you all should watch the Chinese documentaries as well..the Brits didn't do all this by themselves

[ITILII]

Mountbatten and Slim, the greatest British Naval and Army officers since Nelson and Wellington

[razziphotos]

@ITILII

Mountbatten was a peacock..do your research

[joissoz]

vera lynn = champ

[zeemuppets]

My grandad was at Kohima and Imphal in 1943. He was a sapper in the 506th Field Company RE. He is my hero!

[LEOPARDTWO]

They died for us.

[rgd963]

one of the great documentary series

Like ken burns The Civil war"

[junkercq]

The war in Burma was an example of unparalleled savagery and brutallity. A conflict of cultures and political short-sightness.

[askjiir]

The cruelty and brainless fanaticism of the Japanese during this war, never ceases to amaze me.

Madmen, that is what they were.

I wonder what caused them to be like this in the first place.

I hope that they have become more normal now.

[morthim]

i can say the same for the americans... but as one, i know they arn't more normal.

stanford prison experiment anyone?

they wern't 'mad', they were using old battle tactics. out of date, perhaps, but far from the stark raving insanity of the district of collumbia.

... normal? you mean defeated, depressed, or stupid? probably a little, but they havn't lost the Japanese spirit of trying to do something well... at least not yet.

[lord69z]

really? the U.S the great evil? beh sometimes yes sometimes no.

I think America has been better overall sorry.

[askjiir]

Definitely yes, compared to the Russians, Germans, Some of the balkan countries and the Japanese.

[askjiir]

But also the French and Spanish to mention some, although not quite so extreme.

[lord69z]

@askjiir Look - im a realist, being Greek i loved the valiant struggle the Greeks put up against Italy - then formed one of the greatest resistance movements in Europe ( some real Inglorious Basterds stuff ) but then they turned and fought each other ... typical Greek bravado and macho bullshit.

Then we had a nice dictator after the collaborators... History is never one sided.

Although many people seem to regard it so.

[askjiir]

Not one sided no, true.

[teslagod2003]

@askjiir no,you're wrong,where are the western astrocities?

[askjiir]

@teslagod2003

In lesser scale than the japanese, in their colonial empires.

[teslagod2003]

@askjiir so it should just be let go and forgotten,because it lesser?if two men were a murder suspects,1 of them killed 1,000 men,while the other killed 100,should the judge give the lesser killer a lesser sentence,since he killed lesser people?

[teslagod2003]

@lord69z sad fact,but history is written by winners...

[askjiir]

Normal as in not killing, raping and torturing millions of asians. Understand what I mean?

[stuky800]

And they died for what ..for a pussy emperor?!

[askjiir]

They were fanatics in regard to the significance of their emperor. Technologically advanced for a East Asian country at the time, but mentally still living in the middle ages.

Almost completely brainwashed.

[teslagod2003]

@stuky800 lol...

i guess you dont understand the duties of the japanese emperor,tsk...

[woolvett22]

personally i hope more countries act the way the germans and japanese did in world war two we need more acts of complete savagry maybe people will start to understand human life is actually worthless and why would you care if another dies the only life/lives you should worry about are you own and your family thats all that matters

[captcheesy]

@woolvett22 You wouldn't feel that way if some stranger went around torturing and murdering your family you sick f**k.

[spudnick3490]

@woolvett22

Fuck you scum

[askjiir]

Can you hear how his voice is shaking around 6:15? I guess the experience took a toll
