I appreciate your sentiment, and I see Japan as a strong ally to the United States today. However, Japan did not fight for freedom or peace. Japan invaded numerous neighboring countries and committed atrocities similar to the Nazi regime. I have respect for anyone who fought in battle, and I mean no disrespect to you or your ancestors, yet I know that Japan does not teach their population on the crimes that were committed on behalf of Imperial Japan. With that being said, as someone born in the United States, I am aware of the crimes the U.S. has committed through out our short history, even though they might not be taught in our schools. I am in no way saying Japan did terrible things and the U.S. is pure, I am saying I hope you know what Japan did, as much as I know what the U.S. has done.

Gen MacArthur handed a signing pen to British Gen Arthur Percival. Gen Percival had surrendered Singapore at the outbreak of hostilities. He was blamed for the biggest capitulation of British forces in history. MacArthur, handing him that pen on the deck of the MISSOURI was one last subtle "fuck you" to the Japanese.

Spruance and Mitscher were not on the Mighty Mo, they were at sea. This was in case the Japanese launched a kamikaze attack on the Missouri and all the PTO command staff got killed. As an member of the Army of Occupation, my dad got a house and a boat on one of the canals in Yokohama, fell in love, and spent his off hours fishing in the harbor. He made a lot of good Japanese friends. His girl friend's husband had died in Manchuria. He really like the Japanese people and they all seemed to get along really well. When Korea broke out he ended up getting sent up there and that was the end of the romance and the boat.

i can imagine these japnese officers on the deck of the missouri wanting to murder everyone on the ship but they know if they did something wrong they would instantly get shot

Many other countries' representatives from China to Canada signed the surrender agreement. Comment on another KZread video that Canada's rep signed on the wrong line and technically Canada and Japan remained at war.

I'm sure if you look hard enough, somewhere on the internet there will be the information you're looking for.

As an emperor Hirohito was weak, he was unable to control the radicals in his army. But as a person I think he new what was right and wrong. He understood that the actual responsibility lay with him as head of state and as the spirtual guide of Japan. In the end he was willing to take the punishment away from his people and take it on himself. Luckily for him, the Americans understood the far reaching influence the imperial cult had in Japan. And rather punish him, cooperated with him to lead Japan through the hard post war years. A major difference to Germany. Then again Germany had to be occupied through force, Japan surrendered just before this could happen and was rewarded with less repression.

Great they surrendered, but when we look through old family photos, I see relatives that look like me & they all died in the war.
