Does Trump even know that we hung some Japanese @ the end of WW II for waterboarding?

"After World War II, we tried, convicted, and, in some cases, executed Japanese soldiers for war crimes that included charges of waterboarding."
— Bobby Scott on Tuesday, December 9th, 2014 in a news release.

The claims harken back to the mid to late 1940s when officials of the Axis powers were tried and convicted, and some executed, for a wide range of war crimes.

During a 1947 war crimes trial in Yokohama, Wallach wrote that several officials of a Japanese prison camp were convicted of two incidents of strapping down U.S. prisoners and forcing water up their noses and in their mouths.

1. see they were furriners and had darker skin and not murrikkkan

that's the difference

you do it for the glory of GOD and to spread DEMOCRACY



WB, KSB, BWRH (waterboarded, korean sponge bathed, beaten with rubber hose) all part of training, other time other world

but i'm ok with sharing it with anyone who wants to know what it feels like
hands on applicants only

4. Just like the 2nd battle of Fallujah

Where after the 2004 election we dropped white phosphorus on the people and burned them
alive or shot them as they tried to escape by swimming across the river ..... and few years later
some people from Fallujah ended up joining ISIS.

5. or the firebombing of Hamburg...it's not a NEW thing that America considers

furriners beneath care and rules only apply in one direction

WP is nasty/great stuff
depending on what side of it you are

can't win hearts by invading, even if you call it 'liberating' ....
old rule

2. What matters more is that his fans don't...

...or else brush it off with "that was different", either believing the Japanese did something different or it's only a bad thing when someone else does it to our guys.

3. All the "war crimes" prosecuted after WWII

were for things they did that we didn't. Firebombing civilian populations in Dresden and Tokyo was apparently OK.

But of course now we do them too so it's all good....unless someone does them to our guys....other than their own trainers.


So complicated.







fwiw: art is hung; men are hanged
