Whenever it comes to the old debate about the nuclear weapons, it's always a question of whether they would have surrendered, or whether the allied troops were worth more than the japanese civillians.
But no one seems to ask if millions of Chinese, Koreans and Vietnamese are really worth less than 800,000 Japanese? Call me edgy, but I don't think so

japanese get away with too much
especially as they commonly deny things such as comfort women, it would be like germany denying the concentration camps

Thousands of men, women, children, and infants interned at prisoner of war camps were subjected to vivisection, often without anesthesia and usually ending with the death of the victim.[20][21] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was thought that the death of the subject would affect the results.[22]

Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss. Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body. Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines.

Prisoners were injected with diseases, disguised as vaccinations,[25] to study their effects. To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhoea, then studied. Prisoners were also repeatedly subject to rape by guards.[26]

dipping various appendages into water, and allowing the limb to freeze. Once frozen, which testimony from a Japanese officer said "was determined after the 'frozen arms, when struck with a short stick, emitted a sound resembling that which a board gives when it is struck'",[33] ice was chipped away and the area doused in water. The effects of different water temperatures were tested by bludgeoning the victim to determine if any areas were still frozen.

Human targets were used to test grenades positioned at various distances and in different positions. Flamethrowers were tested on humans. Humans were also tied to stakes and used as targets to test pathogen-releasing bombs, chemical weapons, and explosive bombs.

Killing more civilians doesn’t make anyone more right, in this case the eye for an eye rule doesn’t fit.

The Drummer Boy of Chickamuaga. The youngest NCO in US American military history.

John Lincoln “Johnny” Clem was born on August 13th 1851. Following the breakout of war in 1861. He attempted to join the 3rd Ohio Regiment. But was turned away when the commanding officer told him, “He wasn’t enlisting infants.” But that didn’t stop him. He then tried to enlist with the 22nd Michigan. But he was turned away again. But even then. He tagged along and took the role of drummer boy for the regiment. He even preformed camp duties and was paid $13 dollars a month. At the Battle of Shiloh. His drum was taken away by a cannonball. Giving him some public recognition and the nickname, “Johnny Shiloh: The Youngest Drummer Boy.” The following year. He rode an artillery caisson into battle. As the Union Army was retreating. A Confederate Officer rode after his caisson and yelled, “Surrender you damned little Yankee!” Which then Clem responsed by shooting him dead. Which earned him national recognition and the new nickname, “Drummer Boy of Chickamuaga.”

He continued to serve with the Union Army throughout the war as a curior. And he was wounded twice. He was also regularly enrolled into service. Beginning to receive his own pay. And was soon promoted to the rank of Sergeant at age 12. After the war. He attempted to enroll in West Point. But was turned down due to his slim education. A personal appeal to President Grant. His commanding General during the Battle of Shiloh. Granted him the rank of Second Lieutenant in the Army In 1871. And in 1903 he was promoted to Colonel. And place in Assistance Quartermaster General. He retired from the Army in 1916 at the rank of Major General. Having served a total of 55 years in the Army. He later died in San Antonio, Texas on May 13th 1937. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetary​

My grandparents suffered at their atrocities though not in the sense of Unit 731 but still really awful.

My paternal grandparents are from China and they moved to Malaysia either during or after the Chinese Civil War. When Japan occupied Malaysia, what the Japanese soldiers or Kempeitai like to do is to force my grandparents' entire families out of their houses and stand under the hot sun from morning to night almost every day without fail. No reason was ever given why they keep doing that to them. If they were to collapse or move from their location, they would be shot.
Their neighbours were often tortured by the Kempeitai, either one day they would find a badly beaten neighbour or they would go missing. Stories were often told about how one classic execution the Japs like to do to the Chinese is to force them into a barrel and roll them down a hill while the Japs shot at the rolling barrels. Other tortures often included filling them up with water as they force it down their throats and then moving to stomp them on their bodies til they regurgitate or die from shock. Starvation was very normal as well, just a few sacks of rice or even less.

Around 70,000 ethnic Chinese were massacred by the Japs during the Sook-Ching incident, the worst genocide to ever occur in Malaya/Singapore history. 30,000 died during the invasion itself. It was a systematic purge plan enacted by the Japs to eradicate potential Chinese hostilities.

That night [of the 19 February 1945] was the most horrible that any member of the M. L. [motor launch] crews ever experienced. The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left.... Of about one thousand Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about twenty were found alive.
