You should admit yourself are a shameless liar. You have a bone head. You can say only lies.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@jpnsunrise1 You make me sick... denying that 30% of Japanese POW died is like denying the holocaust...

I hope you get hit by a train, and then suffer terribly before dying. And then I hope a tramp pisses on you corpse.

HaHaHa!! Shameless liar TheLoberalKight tell a groundless lie again that "The Japanese in WW2 killed 30% of their prisoners.".

I already proved Allied POW were killed by U.S. Army's indiscriminate bombing and U.S.Navy's indiscriminate submarine attack. Where is your lie's source? HaHaHa!! You proved yourself a shameless liar.

@jpnsunrise1 The Japanese in WW2 killed 30% of their prisoners.

Japan will forever be disgraced by that.

You sit here being a pro-fascist cunt, but everyone agrees with me, and everyone disagrees with you, when I say the British empire was more civilized tenfold than the miserable Japanese empire.

“Judge not that ye be not judged.”It is not the Germans alone, or the Japs, but the men of all nations to whom this war has brought shame and degradation.

The facts prove British soldiers were not civilized. They were beast. They didn't obey international rule including Geneva Conventions. Shame on you liar TheLiveralKnight !!

This, I realize, is not a thing confined to any nation or to any people. What the German has done to the Jew in Europe, we are doing to the Jap in the Pacific. As Germans have defiled themselves by dumping the ashes of human beings into this pit, we have defiled ourselves by bulldozing bodies into shallow, unmarked tropical graves. What is barbaric on one side of the earth is still barbaric on the other.

@TheLiberalKnight of American soldiers poking through the mouth of Japanese corpses for gold-filled teeth (”the infantry’s favorite occupation”); of Jap heads buried in anthills “to get them clean for souvenirs”; of bodies bulldozed to the road side and dumped by the hundreds into shallow, unmarked graves(”where they’re so close we can’t stand ‘em, we have to bury ‘em.”);

I look down at the pit of ashes (”twenty-five thousand in a year and a half”).

of the Australians pushing captured Japanese soldiers out of the transport planes which were taking them south over the New Guinea mountains(”the Aussies reported them as committing hara-kiri or ‘resisting’”); of the shinbones cut, for letter openers and pen trays, from newly killed Japanese bodies on Noemfoor; of the young pilot who was “going to cream that Jap hospital one of these days”;

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

A long line of such incidents parades before my mind: the story of our Marines firing on unarmed Japanese survivors who swam ashore on the beach at Midway: the accounts of our machine-gunning prisoners on a Hollandia airstrip;
