(User Info | Send a Message) | I have to heartily object to your reasoning, if a few thousand citizens cry out against such conduct, but the majority are indifferent, does the objections of the few absolve the many?
There is too much circumstantial evidence to not say that the the local commanders at least permitted if not encouraged such conduct in Nanking and elsewhere, especially when considering the killings, one of the main objectives of killing all young men was to not allow any Chinese soldeirs captured in the beseiged city to disguise themselves as civilians and fade into the background. Further one can HARDLY call Nanking an isolated incident, rather it was part of a much larger disrespect for human life, with a long history of summary executions of POWs, and have near blood orgies in large cities they conquered (Shanghai and Manila) even the conduct of the war in China shows a sense of ethnocentrism. |
