Original Message I realized something...

In every war things happen to the vanquished. The vanqished nations' people are treated justly, generously, magnanimously, or are made to suffer and are oppressed. Society is changing, history has changed and goes in another direction.

With World War 2 it's no different but there is something I have been thinking about.

The outcome of WW 2 has changed the American people in a certain way which would have been different had the outcome of the war been different. This struck me particularly when I watched some old footage from after Japan's capitulation, and I watched a Japanese man (not a commoner, but someone with some status and an educated person) seated somewhere and an American entering the room, and it struck me how the American made his victor status clear to the Japanese, totally unlike how the victorious party behaved at the signing of the surrender by the Japanese on the ship.
