[QUOTE="fartwrangler"]You claimed he was comparing American troops to Japanese troops. He was actually comparing American troops to Japanese civilians. Sorry, kiddo.airshocker

No...I said Japanese. I didn't say Japanese troops. And I do value American troops more than Japanese, whether they be soldiers or not.

Then you misread it.

airshocker

No, I didn't.

Nothing about what he said was hateful. I value American troops over Japanese. And I'm certainly not a xenophobe or a racist.

[QUOTE="fartwrangler"]Irrelevant; the classification of the killings under law does not affect their ethical justfiability.airshocker

It's needs no justification from anybody but the United States government and it already has been, for many years. It was a sanctioned war. It wasn't murder. Mass-killing would be more appropriate.

[QUOTE="fartwrangler"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] It means he values his countries people over other nations at war with them.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="fartwrangler"]Considering enemy countries' innocents near-worthless makes him a xenophobe.airshocker

All I took from his post was that he values American troops more than Japanese. I didn't see any hate or fear in there.

[QUOTE="fartwrangler"]Ah yes, I forgot that mass murder was fine when people forgive you afterwards.airshocker

It's not murder when it's a war sanctioned by your country.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] That does not make him racist.....LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="fartwrangler"]Doesn't make it right.airshocker

Debatable.

It happened, though, and last time I checked the Japanese didn't hate us too much for it. I really don't think I would have gotten the girls I did while over there if they did.
