The Living Truth of War:
From
the Veterans who lived it.
Whenever a nation’s recorded truth is not shared among all
countries, the timeline is warped and history and education become a
clash of parables. Even 45 years after WWII, when a large Japanese news
media came to America to visit Major Gordon, and other Veterans
like him who had spent over three years in Japanese camps, the reporters
repeatedly said, “We never knew American POWS were tortured...We
never knew...”
Is it possible that the Japanese people did not know? Or was
it that they did not want to know?
After all, on the other side of the coin, there are some in
our country, who heard that our troops were torturing the enemy - and
they simply refused to believe it - or they just did not want to
know.
Like most of us, I'm going to give my country the benefit of
the doubt. After all, we are the good guys, aren't we? Do you suppose
those on the other side think the same about their country? What do you
think?
