Unit 731 During World War II, Japanese scientists did experiments on captured POWs. They did vivisections, experimented on how to extract bullets, removed parts of the brain, and tested how a person could live with one lung. The things that the Japanese scientists did to captives were horrendous. The scientists that knew that these experiments were not morally right but did not say anything and joined the crowd.

I think that FDR should have thought about the consequences of the order thoroughly before he signed it. That would have saved a lot of people s suffering and humiliation. In 1942, Fred Korematsu s conviction for not reporting to the detention camps was vacated. After his case was reviewed by Japanese American attorneys, the case was dropped.

I feel that Fred s sentence was wrong in the first place. I am glad his case was dropped.

The 100th/442nd U.S. Army all Japanese American unit is the most highly decorated unit during World War II. They suffered over 800 casualties just to save the 211 Texan units. Because of their bravery they were made honorary Texans.

I am very pleased to learn that those brave men risked their lives and suffered just for 221 Texan soldiers. It is very rare for people to be so brave and willing to sacrifice their lives for 221 people.

I feel that this was the least the U.S. Government could do. At least they did something to repay the Japanese Americans. The Japanese Government did not even say sorry for all the atrocities they committed.

H.R. 126 Under House Resolution 126, the U.S. Government demands that the Japanese Government make formal apology for the atrocities committed during World War II. Those atrocities include the ones committed by Unit 731, the dropping of the plague and anthrax on Chinesevillages, and the Rape of Nanking. The Japanese Government also needs to pay retribution of up to $40,000 to each of the women who were raped.

When I learned that the Japanese Government did not even acknowledge the atrocities they committed I was shocked. It is a fact that they did those crimes against other humans yet they are too proud to admit it. I am glad that the U.S. Government did the least they could and took full responsibility for what they did.
