The Japanese got off far too lightly as far as war crimes trials and prosecution went after the war. I guess the world in general was more interested in seeing the Nazis and their allies punished, probably through the notion that the war in the Pacific Theater was mainly fought by the Americans, the British, and a few other countries that held colonial interests in the area, while the European Theater was truly a global war.

All this did was awaken a monster that had been asleep for nearly 2 centuries inside the United States of America and those yellow Jap bastards got what they deserved on two days in August 1945.They should have been wiped out and USA would be justified in doing so as the War was still on at that time.:2gunsfiring_ v1::2gunsfiring_v1 :: 2gunsfiring_v1:

That's because they have the "small-dick complex" if you know what I mean...

My grandfather (my mother's father) was in the Royal Engineers in the Pacific and he came back with an accute hatred of the Japanese. He didn't tell anyone why but I'm guessing he witnessed some things that stayed with him.

He came across to everyone as a gentle and patient man with a wide smile and gave the best bear hugs. He was much more affectionate and happy than his wife who thought she had married beneath herself and made him take ballroom dancing lessons so he wouldn't 'embarrass' her when they waltzed at their wedding. He was the one who plaited my mum's hair and made up school lunches.

My Mum said their were only two instances where the hatred showed itself, once when he was working on a car for a customer at his mechanic shop and the owner wouldn't shut up about how great Japanese cars were and their technology and the type of people they were. My father was helping him that day and said that he had to physically stop my grandfather from beating the guy to death with a tyre iron.

The second was when a manager at my grandmother's workplace bought her a kimono back from a business trip. I think my grandma was a bit of a flirt with the men at her job but my grandfather made her burn it in the garden then put the ashes in the box and take it back to the manager the next day.

After he passed away I started having Japanese language lessons. If he'd been alive I'm pretty sure he would have lost his mind over it.

Sgt. Siffleet was a fellow Australian Commando assigned to M Special Unit, and someone I had read about from an early age.
He came from a community very near my birthplace so I have always felt an affinity with this brave man.
RIP Soldier.
Your legacy will always live on with the Australian Defence Force.
