I am all for forgiving, but the Japanese have never really said sorry, paid much compensation or ceased honoring war criminals.
Germany did these things and more, and I was more affected by the Germans in the war, little things like huddling in a shelter while being bombed in London and having to move because the house was shattered making it unsafe. Having the country bankrupted, food rationed during and after the war for five years plus. Others had it much much worse of course.
As you probably wasn't even born at that time maybe you cannot understand my reasoning and monuments to dead armed forces members are just stones laying around town.
