Beelzebub 2,508 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Controversial but as someone whose grandfather fought the Japanese in Burma for the Allied forces i feel no sense of pride or honor with a war that had nothing to do with my people, if it was the Japanese who would have colonized this part of the world than it would have been the same but we would have fought on the opposite side yet our resources and man power being ripped off by the colonizers and being dragged into a war that is not ours to win or lose.

Do you honestly think Nazi Germany would have stropped colonizing east, and together with Japan would have been happy leaving your country alone? Thanks to people like your grandfather, you'll never have to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' British did horrible things here and don't think the Japanese could have been any worse its like choosing the lesser evil. At the end it was not a war ours to win or lose.
