If not for my grandfather dying of cancer and the Japanese government allowing his oldest son to come home to take over his affairs (Japan was and is a very patriarchal society), my uncle would have died in WWII. Which is to say, the member individuals who fought for the Axis nations were actually real people. So I think we need to be cautious to paint individuals with a broad brush. After all, it's the people in power broad-brushing and saying "all this type of person is less than human and should go into camps" is what gets us into the mess in the first place.And that's about as far down that path I want to go, as it's already skating the political edge</blockquote>
