When she heard I had travelled from Japan she scowled deeply and dropped the shoulder off her dress to show me a heavily scarred arm. An arm (and body) that was pierced more than 10x by Japanese bayonet and sword. She was only 10yrs old at the time. This was typical of the brutality raised by the Japanese soldiers over quite a period of time. Almost any young woman was raped, shot, stabbed and tortured. There was no age limit - from young baby to old woman was treated in this way. This did not happen as the army 'marched' through town on a rampage, but in the course of 'occupation'. Anyone who can say 'it didn't happen' should take a visit directly to Nanjing. There are plenty of witnesses, survivors and artifacts to prove the point.
Don't tell "Jack" that! He might think that it's some Westernized Oliver Stone conspiracy theory to denigrate the Japanese people(wonder if their newly revised history books ever mention in detail those kind of atrocities)How horrible!:confused:
