Yeah, turns out war is pretty fucked up. Look up the rape of nanjing. Or Pearl Harbor. Or Hiroshima.

You get the idea.

And Japanese cannibalism of executed POW's, and Ishii's biological warefare unit. War is Hell.

The US was the model for biological testing and eugenics, that's not why they fought japan, nor was it even one of the stated reasons at the time.

Turns out if you dehumanise your enemies completely, war crimes happen.

Although the japanese mostly just mutilated you when you were alive.
