Everyone?  If you got through two reports, then you can say everyone.

Like people's lip service, it would be a surprise service.

Are you serious?  What I asked you is about books on Unit 731.  You are trying to change the
subject as you often do so.

Again, what books did you read for understanding Unit 731?  Tell us Japanese references by
which you got the fact of Unit 731.

The US pardoned the Japanese medical evils.

I am talking about your way of understanding history.

Because Japan is the first victim of NW as an enemy of the USA.

They do.  But it is possible to say that you can't exactly interpret what they talk in
Japanese.

Then, I have to say that you should adopt the same view toward Iraq and its suffering, you
are promoting for other countries and their suffering which your nation gave.  If American
people are supposed to be ignorant toward the terrible effects of defoliants which the US
army gave Vietnam in the killing field and by which many were deformed and the suffering
they inflicted, then Americans should feel the same way about American suffering about such
alcoholics, drugs, rapes, etc.
