Recently Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent an offering to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan.  This offering offended the usual suspects of South Korea and China who are now caterwauling (complaining).  Their complaint is the Yasukuni Shrine houses World War Two convicted war criminals.

After World War Two the Allies conducted war crime trials in Tokyo, Japan, known as the International Military Tribunal for the Far East - IMTFE.  Those Japanese convicted at the trials and executed their spirits are housed at the Yasukuni Shrine along with 2 ½ million Japanese who served in the military since around the 1860s.

Perhaps it may be understandable the commies in Beijing complaining since China and Japan were at war during the first half of the last century.  However why the bellyaching like a spoiled child from the Koreans when Korea was part of Japan during this period?  Researching the Japanese executed by the Allies unable to locate any accused of crimes committed on the Korean peninsula.  

It is interesting to note around 148 Koreans were executing after being found guilty of war crimes committed during World War Two.  These were Koreans who served in the Japanese Imperial Army.  Proportionally there were more Koreans executed for war crimes than Japanese.  There were around 940 Japanese executed out of millions of Japanese who served, whiled 148 Koreans executed out of around 17,000 who served in the Japanese Imperial Army.

Allied officers held in Japanese POW camps (Prisoner of War) report the Korean guards were excessively barbaric, and brutal.  The Japanese did not trust the combat worthiness of the Koreans so they used them as POW prison guards.  

During the Bataan Death March it was reported "the Korean guards were the most abusive........the Koreans were anxious to get blood on their bayonets; and then they thought they were veterans."

The Korean guards also overlooked the construction of the Burma Railway, part of which took place in the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai," known as the death railway.  Reported an Allied officer about the Korean guards, "were moronic and at times almost bestial in their treatment of prisoners."

Many in South Korean keep condemning and criticizing the Japanese with "you need to be in touch with you history."  They are basically accusing the Japanese of denying their history.  Perhaps it is the Koreans who need to be in touch with their history, their history of the brutal war crimes committed against Allied Prisoners of War during World War Two.  

What is that Biblical saying?  "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
