The Japanese were our enemy in WWII. From their very first attack on us their rulers were guilty of collective treachery. Throughout the war the Japanese committed brutal individual and collective acts.That does not mean that every Japanese soldier was without honor. Hiroo Onoda died today at 91. He spent 29 years hiding from Allied Forces in the Philippine jungles, and only surrendered in 1974, full of tears, when his commanding officer found him and ordered him to give himself up.
Had Mr.Onoda died during the Reagan administration, there would have been a statement of respect for a valiant enemy. Nowadays there is silence at the White House for a veteran of a close ally.
Who do you think had a better concept of honor? This enemy of ours? Or the man in the White House sworn to uphold our Constitution?
Or are the progressives in our regime just so, like, beyond honor and all that?
