Have you ever heard of the Nanking Massacre? How about the Bataan Death March?

" How about Japan’s Biological and Chemical Warfare in China during WWII? Even today in just one small village of Caojie, near Jinhua in the province of Zhejiang in China, there are hundreds of victims of biological warfare still suffering from painful wounds originated more than 60 years ago when their village was decimated in 1942 by Japan with glanders, anthrax, and other biological weapon agents. The biological weapon attack in Zhejiang province is just one of many thousands of biological and chemical warfare attacks by the Japanese army in many parts of China during the Sino-Japanese War of 1931-1945. These included places in the provinces of Hunan, Jiangsu, Jilin, Kwangtung, Yunnan, and Heilongjiang."

The Japanese proved they had absolutely no regard for how many non-combatants they killed. Have you ever weonderedd why so many pandemics originate in China? Bird Flu, Asian Flu and a hoist of other diseases. Epidemiologists suspect that the mutated results of the Japanese germ warfare program are the gift that keeps on giving.

It doesn't matter what tools were used to end the war, the Japs were warned. Days before the bomb drop there were leaflet drops warning of a new kind of bomb. The Japanese rebuffed all attempts to halt the hostilities numerous times, long after it was obvious they were defeated. Given those circumstances we could have used Lepers out of Molokai to man the planes. Those bombs saved hundreds of thousands of our lives which would be lost invading their home islands.

Excerpt:

Tibbets told the authors:

“I got called on this bomb job … I was told I was going to destroy one city with one bomb. That was quite a thought … We had, working in my organization, a murderer, three men guilty of manslaughter and several felons; all of them had escaped from prison.

“The murderer was serving life; the manslaughter guys were doing ten to fifteen years; the felons three to five. After escaping they had enlisted under false names. They were all skilled technicians … They were all good, real good at their jobs and we needed ‘em. We told them that if they gave us no trouble, they would have no trouble from us.

“After it was over, we called each of them in and handed them their dossiers and a box of matches and said ‘Go burn ‘em.’ You see, I was not running a police department, I was running an outfit that was unique.”

That's why is was such a bad idea to attack us. And just think, we could have fire bombed the city and probably killed even more. So is it better to vaporize them or burn them to death. Which do you think would have been more humane? And of course, had we not used the bomb the war would have gone on. Now that would have been great wouldn't it. How many more would have died and go gain what? Honor for the emperor? The bomb was the only option. Just too bad we didn't have it a little sooner--maybe we could have saved more lives...

I have heard of "The Ghost Soldiers", but have not read it. Not sure I would fully comprehend the lexicon of the military language. I have not however, heard of the movie "The Great Raid". I will search for it, I certainly like the cast. If my memory serves, McCarthy(?) left these men stranded with little supplies. Proclaiming to return, yet took him nearly three years to do so.

Years ago I found one book with my grandfather's name mentioned. I have since found his name in other literature written on this subject. I do know he was awarded a metal from the Phillipine government for his service. I meant my grandfather once on his deathbed in 1961 or 1962, at the age of four or five.

My family's military careers ended with my oldest brother, Vietnam Green Beret, in the mid 1960's. I was still in grade school when he came to say goodbye. Today, he iives at the end of a very long driveway with two dogs...and it's cold.
