Maybe Wretchard will know about this. I saw a photo online (can’t find it now) of Filipino fighters alongside American soldiers in WW II: the Filipino men were shirtless, wearing shorts, and they each had several Japanese jawbones tied to their waists as war trophies.

They weren’t effin’ around, after what the Japs did in Manila and elsewhere.

I also remember reading that the Japs would drag wounded Marines into their foxholes and cut the flesh from their thighs for rations. . . . Also that they murdered a quarter of a million Chinese in retaliation for the Chinese helping out the (few dozen) Doolittle Raiders.

But the boyars at the Smithsonian would encourage us to pity them.
