They were facist fanatics who believed that every other race but there's was inferior.

And while you can question the American's because of their city bombing campaigns, the American's went know where near the levels of barbarism that the Japanese bent to in their treatment of captured lands and captured people.

Because of their levels of fanaticism, they left the allies little choice in how they ended the Japanese empire and how they dealt with the military leaders who survived to meet justice.

Personally if I had been a marine, and had come across the oceans and seen the kamikazee attacks and heard about how they had bayoneted prisoners, and how they fought to the last man, I wouldn't have been too inclined to take prisoners.

The Japanese honor code that they fought by was a funny little thing, because it wasn't all that honorable if you weren't Japanese.
