The interesting difference between Germany and Japan for me is der Fragge, The Questionnaire, which sorted out the sheep from the goats. Japan didn't have that, because everybody was behind the Emperor, by a huge percentage. So Germans were separated into "good" and "bad", but not the Japanese. I think that shows in the relative attitudes toward the war that we see today in the two countries.

BINGO! 

Funny how today's Germany knows and accepts it's dark history without glorifying it.

Why anyone thinks Slavery should be treated any differently is beyond me.
No it's not.  They're racists.  You know it, I know it, -they- know it...everyone knows it....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It also doesn't help that the Denazification process took care to drum into the Germans speeches like this:

"You, who represent the fathers and brothers of German youth, see before your eyes some of the sons and daughters who bear the direct responsibility for this crime. They are a small portion only. Therefore, it is more than the human soul is able to bear. But who bears the real responsibility? You, who allowed your leader to carry out this horrible madness; you, who couldn't do enough for this degenerate triumph. You, who were a part of this camp..."

And they couldn't do this to the Japanese because it ran the risk of breaking ancestor-worship-related taboos (one of the most extreme taboos in their society, which was likely to just cause them to shut down and not care about whether or not their points were valid).

Aaah...you humans and your little effigies. Such an adorably nostalgic and self-absorbed species.

Your statues are racist, and you should feel racist.

The Y-donor was a kluxxer, I  know what racist sounds like. Sweeping generalizations don't work here.

I might have come off a little more seriously than I meant to. It's probably because I've become too lazy to use the pink text on my phone ?
