Japanese in WWII uniforms worship at Yasukuni Shrine 

Worship by the Japanese govt officials at Yasukuni Shrine has being opposed by China, Korea, Taiwan and other Asian countries because it also houses war criminals, including 14 Class A's, sentenced to death for war crimes by the allied forces after WWII.

  • I'm no particular fan of Japanese war criminals. But people should be allowed to honor their dead.

    • @gizmo8 so attacking korea because they were communist was right, or invasion of iraq for no reason.

      or attacking a whole nation to take out one political group?

      so tell me, you think its right for someone to attack canada, to take out the conservatives?

      please.

      Honoring one's dead means laying a wreath, not marching in uniform with Arisaka rifles beneath the rising sun war flag.

      Yes.

      I don't know how they do things in Canada, but in the U.S. that would be Freedom of Assembly, guaranteed under the First Amendment. Freedoms like that are one of the things that distinguished most Western nations from Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan.

    • @john1054 Plus German dead are in fact honoured in their memorials and cemetries the world over...there's one in Normandy with 20,000 grave stones, very well kept. However alway understated.

      I guess the problem here is the military triumphalism which goes along with the Japanese ceremonies

  • I can't understand why Japan wont apologise.

    They have gone so far as to make their school text books factually incorrect.

      Actually, they have, on many [/url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_war_apology_statements_issued_by_Japan]occasions.[/url]

      But I'm not sure an Apology gets it done. they did some truly heinous shit.

      It can only be considered by Asian countries that Japan wants to start another war of revenge in the future, like Hitler did for Germany's defeat in WWI.

      I doubt it... their constitution prevents it and their armies belong to the US.

      China is more likely to project aggression in an effort to grow its sphere of influence.

      Any reaction from Japan will be just that... a reaction.

      I've never heard that the Japanese Self Defense Forces belong to the US.

  • Your China propaganda would work if history was not documented. Under Mao, the estimated deaths is estimated between 49-78 MILLION. For comparison, Hitler was at around 12 MILLION. Tojo, 5 MILLION. Keep in mind that Mao killed mostly his own countrymen. Don't even get me started on Tibet again.

  • Looks like the Jap's are still in need of some 're-education'

  • Weird how there are people who celebrate them while Japan's history textbooks frequently omit intimate details about the behavior of Japanese soldiers and leaders.

  • This should be seen with the same eye we see neonazi parades! The fact that politicians also visit this shrine is a legitimization of Japan's fascist past.

  • these dickholes cant even drill. they were probably like 14 during the war and their trumpeters sound like theyre using their assholes. Looks weak and retarded, and they should cancel their shrine due to incompetence.

  • The Japanese were fucking animals back in that war. Animals.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes

    I completely understand why there is still a helluva lotta anger towards Japan. Its not just that they started a shitstorm over there, its how they behaved while doing it.

  • i guess they still think they won the war.

    Seriously, I knew some Japanese in my University. They hadn't heard of Iwo jima until they saw the movies "Letters from Iwo jima". So the Jap gov't doesn't let their people know of the lost battles...of course it's all on the internet...so I think they are just ignorant and stupid for never hearing of it.

    • @HappyHooker

      The Japan whose soldiers bayoneted captured American soldiers, burned them alive, cut their heads off, burnt them with cigaretts, cut off tatooed pieces of skin, and used cowardly tactics like boobytrapping bodies and pretending to need rescue to lure Americans in only to kill them?

      THOSE JAPANESE?

    • @HappyHooker Read a little history. The Japanese were utterly ruthless, they were told anyone who surrendered was subhuman and thus deserved a brutal end. The tying up of people and gouging their eyes out, using civilians as live bayonet practice etc etc were all specialities of the average Jap soldier. Oh yeah; Nanjing massacre in which tens of thousands of Chinese civilians were tortured and killed, take it that's news to you too?

    • @amalcity

      They may say that we were brutal, but they are liars. We were no where near the level of brutality shown by the Japanese!

      And we were not the terrorists. If they didn't want war, they didn't have to bomb Pearl Harbor.
