Whoa there
You guys are wildly off base about the Japanese. I grew up with a great many Japanese, most of whom remain friends to this day, and every single one invariably becomes uncomfortable when the topic of WW2 is raised. They are profoundly aware of the fruits of their aggression, and most feel personally ashamed of those events even though they were perpetrated by another generation. Hence the national trend toward pacifism, which took root after WW2 and is in marked contrast to their long martial tradition.
Anyone seen that kind of contrition from a German recently? Let's not slander our friends needlessly.
