Topic: Mass rapes in Korea by Japanese in WW2 Posted: 03-Apr-2005 at 13:28 |
In a topic here someone mentioned about something like "mass rapes in Korea". I know Japanese were cruel in WW2 but i didn't know what did they do in Korea. What did they do in there?

I don't think there was a single mass rape like the one in Nanking...
they did cause 9 million Korean casualties according to http://www.skycitygallery.com/japan/japan.html
They used Koreans as comfort women, as well as soldiers and slave labourers..
attemped to eradicate Korean culture... exploitation of Korean resources.. etc etc

and sex slaves. they took hundreds of thousands of koreans into concentration camps and tortured them to death. They made students carry spears around so that they could kill U.S. parachuters. In fact, they trained students starting 5th grade to fight and kill. They elliminated all use of the korean language and forced the koreans to use japanese as the national language and those who didn't were executed. Japanese chopped off the arms of protesters in korea so that they couldn't hold up any placards during riots. and ofcourse guns. They used koreans as first row militia during battles. They ripped families apart. property was sold and used for japanese benefit, men into camps and the army, women into slavery and sex companions and children left on the streets or made to go collect sap from pine trees which could be used as automobile fuels. I can go on forever whith what hte japanese did to the koreans. But i'll stop here. I think i got my point through.

Er, no Mughaal, you are confusing the actions of a military force with an attack against civilians. The military actions of a nation should never be used to justify attacks against innnocents. The entire nation cannot be held to account. Did the children of Hiroshima or Nagasaki deserve to be poisoned and killed? Of course not. Its just like saying, 'my cousin was killed by an American soldier, so an American civilian deserves to die for it'. Dangerous territory methinks

Is/Was the military a branch of the government? What did the Japanese people do to stop these atrocities, besides paying their taxes?
Sometimes, silent witness to crimes become accomplices.

It doesn't matter. Civilians can never be held accountable to the point of death for the actions of their nation as a whole. If half or one or all of those who died in the bombings were against the actions of the japanese abroad, but of course had no power to do anythiong, do they deserve death? Does anybody deserve death? To quote J.R.R Tolkien -
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

I think the vast majority of Japanese citizens didn't know what the hell was going on with their government. Same with troops in the field and out at sea. The troops and officers that weren't involved in war crimes, that is.

Truth is its your JOB to know whats going around. There are 2 kinds of justices metered out in every society:
Collective Justice
Individual Justice
Collective Justice is when society is responsible for putting an end to the injustices of its own society and community.
Individual Justice is when society is responsible for putting an end to the injustices of its own individuals.
If you fail in either, more than likely consequences will befall you one way or another.
Japanese people claimed ignorance of their nations war crimes in China and Kores and all of East Asia; Americans claimed Hiroshima/Nagasaki was the only way to end the war in peace.
Tough, but thats life.

Some Japanese still claim ignorance. For one who greatly appreciates the Japanese and their culture, this remains a blemish.

I don't think there were mass rape in a single incident, but yes... the injustice still prevails.
My question is... what are we trying to get at? What's the conclusion are we getting at? Japan is still going to deny all the sickening past and the International Community are not going to care.

Not true. Death of civilians would affect the economy of the nation. Economy is critical to almost all aspects of nation, including its military.

what i meant by the quote is that everyone is a target, no one is innocent or safe, not that there aren't people in active duty.
