Answer 3

On April 18th, 1942 General James Dolittle and his group of Army flyers, with B25 medium bombers, bomb Japan/Tokyo to return the aggressive acts of the Japanese for the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th., 1941. More a publications stunts to rally the low American morale, it did demonstrate that Japan was vulerable to attack. In 1944 a famous movie, 'Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo' was shown the American Public.

This attack follows ten years of aggressive behavior by the Japaness and the atrocities they conducted in Manchuria and China. With the attack on Pearl Harbor the Japanese made further militaristic expansion into the Far East.

The current news of today brings sympathy for those Japanese in America confined to internment camps during the war years. One only has to look into the Rape of Nanking to see why - they could not be trusted for at the bottom of that distrust was their actions of rape, torture and murder. Indeed, in Nanking, China, before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were repsonsible for the rape, tourture and brutal executions of 400,000 people in four months. Internet searches will provide documentation and photographs of this history. Most Americans are unaware of these atrocities and the brutality of the Japanese. Americans, civilians and soldiers, e.g., caught by the Japanese, were not immune to those same style atrocities.

Many Japanese today are embarrassed from the truth and wish to totally ignore the condemnation of Japanese. Japanese barbaric actions, before, during and after World War II justified their seculsion from the rest of society until the situation could be sorted out. Indeed, I illustrate their actions after the war was officially over, when pulling finally out of Nanking, ever spiteful Japanese released several toxic and biological agents upon the unsuspecting Chinese as a parting gesture killing thousands more civilians. This to 1,) hide the work they had been doing in secrets biological units, and 2.) as a last and parting gesture.

This would bring to mind what the Japanese would have done to Americans had they been able to invade our shores and enslave and/or brutally kill civilians as they had and have done in the far East.

It has been my once pleasure to have met General Dolittle, retired, once in San Luis Obispo, California many years ago. Likewise, my friend Herber Gunn, stage name Gordon MacDonald, played the young bombardier in the movie lived in San Luis Obispo. Both were eating at the same restaurant while I visited Herb.
