Perhaps I am just old, but I recall vividly as a young child the animosity toward anyone who was Japanese. I had an uncle who actually scared me with his attitude about Japanese people.....he had first hand witnessed many deaths UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND could be likened to the current beheadings. Very vicious.
I do not know the Marines service history...I am not excusing it....just pointing out that in our history, this attitude is not unique !
