Do you mean that the Nanjing Massacre was voluntarily carried out by the Chinese? You don't live in this country, you don't see those shocking pictures, so you don't understandYou are twisting my words if you wish to read that. There is a difference between voluntarily slauhtering your people and settin all the conditions for it to happen. This is part of the shade I mentionned when I said responsible, instead of guilty.
You only mention the good side, but you turn a blind eye to the disasters brought by certain Japanese, it is clear that our army has treated Japan's orphans and widows kindly, and the Japanese army has reciprocated us with a tragic massacreNever read that and you mistake at least one thing here, in my opinion: Friendship and gratefulness doesn't exist between states. Only interests can diverge or converge.
There is also a problem of your conception of armies, not all armies and regiments are alike, and especially not all nations are alike. If the men in Nanjing acted awfully ,(be it because of orders, brainwash or just because they were awful), can it be generalized to all Japan armies? If so, then are there Nanjing everywhere in China, systematically?
I don't aim to defend Japan atrocities here, so that it is clear. Only, there can be many reasons for what happened in Nannjing, including strategical reasons. One of the first things that strike me is that the number of prisoners would simply be way too problematic for the Japaneses to handle, and similar slaughter were carried for this reason in China and among Chineses...
