Ants is a pretty apt comparison to Japanese culture at the time. All expected to become soldiers and die for the hive. Seriously, shit was crazy. They were not going to surrender otherwise.
Firebombings were daily killing more than the bombs did as well.
Okay, thank you for proving my point and admitting you're a virulent racist so publicly.
I mean... That's what the culture was at the time. No need to name call over it. It is well documented and any attempt to obfuscate it is revisionism.
Our discussion is prompting me to look more into the history here, though. Your comment on modern generals' statements is intriguing. That lead me to learn about Soviet entry into the war, defeating Japan in Manchuria, which may have promoted talk of surrender among Japanese leadership.
I'll certainly keep researching and I'm open to changing my view. Feel free to present me with some material to consider rather than calling me racist.
Warning, the guys a troll of a Chinese shill, at this point idk what's worse. In any case don't worry about what they're saying they aren't actually going to believe what you say, but do respond and disprove claims they make that are wrong so other see it and don't believe what they say.
Wild that a Chinese troll would jump to defend Japan's actions during WWII given the atrocities Japan inflicted upon China.
