We have not forgotten. The bravery of those who fought on Iwo Jima—American and Japanese alike—endures in history, in sacred ground, and the bonds between our nations. Their valor will never fade.
People get caught up in bullshit about economics, hegemonic enforcement, and resource extraction but I'm just a fan of men getting blown the fuck up personally.
I respect the troops- all of them! Both sides! 
The Japanese Imperial Army: HONORARY WHITE 
I watched some shitty WW2 movie last year and in the credits it literally said the same stupid shit here wtf
Churchill said it too
Edit: he said it about the Germans. Stalin had joked they should execute the Wehrmacht. Churchill respected them for fighting for their country. Might be apocryphal
WWII was just some bros messing around
Inb4 Dresden memorial
The whole "axis soldiers were small beans what have anxiety who didn't know about all the evil stuff 1% of the military was doing" has been a pretty common CHUD talking point. Oh also every 16 year old Soviet conscript is personally responsible for every war crime of the USSR.
I just want everyone to have a good time
Reactionaries have two directly contradictory positions on the Japanese in WW2, they love them or extreme dehumanizing racism.
Usually depends on whether they are winning (pre-WW2 and the start, the 80s financial market) or losing (mid to post WW2, the 90s financial market)
