Yeah, the number of civilians our side lost was tremendous by comparison. Does that excuse it? Say a man kills another man's children, does that give the other man leave to kill the first man's children? No. You can make excuses all you want, but we know a "they're meaner and did it first" argument would not fly in any non-war scenario. So, choose a side that you want to win all you want. Everyone does. What I am saying is you do not have to excuse atrocities by pointing to other atrocities as if it somehow fucking negates it. Revenge is not a good argument. They were worse is not a good argument. I think you know that.
well yes if you go back far enough every flag has had atleast some blood shed. they probably wouldn't have a flag if they didn't.....
....But saying we should "remember" or take into account, the crimes the Chinese committed against Japan, is the same thing as saying we should remeber all the horrible things the native americans did to the european settlers, I do imagine there were a few angry native americans who tortured or brutally killed maybe even innocent europeans, but compared to the hundreds of millions of deaths, rapes, ensalvement, and even cannibalism, something that bewildered most native tribes (they couldn't understand why europeans were digging for gold instead of planting food). I think it's fair to say that we CAN excuse whatever the native americans did, as well as what China did to Japense soldiers
......and after all, we all come from africa so technically were all responsible for all the violence in world history
