    And what of the Japanese civilians? Are their lives automatically forfeit because they had the gall to be born in the bad guy country?

    Do not justify atrocities with other atrocities. And do not ignore the bulk of another person’s argument to pretend they had no argument. You just look like an idiot when you do that.

      You haven’t given me one word about why their lives were more valuable than the enslaved peoples.
