No, it's just Japanese Power.
I don't know what you are all so worried about, they are all near-sighted... I read it in the paper!

How we ever won the war with this kind of brain trust manning the presses I will never know.

Once you learn the fine are of removing your emotions from your assessments of historical events you will come to understand that things happened for a reason under different circumstances that may or may not be comparable with you/we know to be a norm.  Do your best to put yourself in the shoes of a someone back *then*, and also keep in mind that we know today as "ok" may not be in the future.  For instance, if I were to say that in 100 years it will be illegal to own a dog would you think I am crazy?  Probably so.  If someone were to have said in 1765 that "It will be illegal in 100 years to own a slave", the reaction would have been much the same.   :aok

Historical context is a great thing.   :aok

Never forget what happened at "Chinpokomon' Camp":

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

No, I get ya... and I take that into account, it wasn't so much the ignorance I was speaking to, rather the fact that we still prevailed after the Japanese showed us just how wrong we were about a great many of our stereotypes.
