I'm more perplexed about this.
It is true that ww II was over 50 years ago, but the Japanese (as a society) has always had a negationist view towards their responsability in ww II.
German society on the other hand, has accepted their responsabilities in the last war. That is a big big difference.
I could care less that japan is a military partner of the us, letting japan build an effective armed service, including a nuclear arsenal is the wrong thing to do. |
I am with you. They still deny some parts of there history.
