I grew up hating the Japanese in cartoons, comic books, barber shops, you name it everyone hated them. The war had been over for several years of course, but my elders were not to happy with the Japanese.

Years later I found out I loved the same things they did model planes, real planes, ships, art work, history, electronics, cars (didn't they copy just about every good car ever made). So even with my up bringing it was easy to forgive them.

You can forgive people without loving them, but it is almost impossible to love people without forgiving them too.

But on the other hand it is a war sim it is a game and it is just plain psychological to refer to the enemy as Japs ... this poster was paid for by the US government and speaks for itself. Wait for it to download.




Oh, any Japanese out there ... bring it on big boy we got Japanese AI on MP
