How do you feel when you see a Mitsubishi, being driven by a man about 80 years old, with a POW-MIA bumper sticker? Are you glad he has the sticker, or think of Pearl Harbor? Edit for spelling, sorry. |

To each his own. Maybe he has forgotten, or forgiven? My dad was in Burma in WWII, he didn't give a shit about nationality, race, etc. You were judged by who YOU were as a person. My mom, however, absolutely HATES the Japanese and anything Japanese made. Not too crazy about the Germans either. She had an uncle (Australian) who was a POW of the Japanese. And she had a bomb shelter in her backyard in England. She spent many a night in the shelter as a child. ETA that as I think of it, I just realized that all of my uncles who fought in WWII had no hatred for or prejudice against any of the Axis members. Hell, my uncle almost married a Japanese woman during the occupation, but HER family objected enough to put a stop to the wedding. They didn't like the "barbarians". |
