.......Imagine Germans or Russians or Japanese or Americans advocating & legitimizing acts done by their armies during WWII. Not a good thing. Hence self-criticism is needed, and some acts done by our grandfathers should be condemned.  |
You have made a strong argument here Tine.
But precisely what bias are you referring to with the historical accounts of WW2 from "the winners" perspective -- many Japanese born after WW2 are not even aware of much of what happened.
