一日の画像 - Picture of the Day - Japanese Sailors Paying Respects to Former Foes

Seen here are the training officers of the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force Ships JDS Kashima, JDS Setoyuki and JDS Asagiri at the HMAS Kuttabul Memorial. They were there on a three day port of call to Sydney Australia to salute the 9 Royal Australian Navy and two Royal Navy sailors who were lost when the ferry the HMAS Kuttabul was sunk by a IJN Midget Sub June 1st, 1942. Now that's respect!

Political Statement or Bad Taste?

Seen here (in this Exclusivepix photo) are Chinese WWII re-enactors or mall employees at a shopping mall in the Chinese city of Taiyuan performing executions of Imperial Japanese Army Soldiers to mark the 77th anniversary of the Japanese invasion of the Chinese mainland. While this might have been done to promote sales this Anti-Japanese themed mock executions is clearly in bad taste. While this might not offend anyone in China who still harbor hard feelings about the war, it's not the way to move forward. While this is just one man's opinion, the fact remains that the war is over and mock beheadings are no laughing matter.
