However there were no more war crimes trials of Japanese war criminals agter 1948, and you can point the finger of blame at Mcarthur and Truman for that.

Apparantly it was in order to make sure that they kept Japan in one piece and the Soviets out. I believe one war criminal whose name I do not know even made PM in 1955.

From my point of view this meant many war criminals got off scott free for political expediency.
