@DaCosmicCat , Hi, Yeah, the USA usually treated POWs decently, but there were instances of course where POWs weren't taken such as always occurs in combat & all sides' troops do it. Many Japanese did not agree with the war in China or with the USA etc., including some very high rnking officers & politicians, & some officers refused to comply with brutal orders during the Battan Death March etc.

@christof139 Also, contrary to what people have thought in those days Americans treated japanese POW's much more humane and displayed better compassion than the japanese would. Japan would not only treat american POW's like shit, but also their own soldiers/civilians, they didn't care..all they wanted was absolute power and the U.S. knocked them out the picture - I know this because im Japanese, my grandparents would tell me stories.

Yes, war is terrible, an atrocity in itself.
