  1. >Shortly after the formal signing ceremony, he [MacArthur] initiated investigations into Japanese war crimes.

    This might explain MacArthur’s popularity in post-war Japan. People HATED the military control they had and blamed them for the war.

  2. ‘The United States even had a special flag flown in for the ceremony, the same flag used by Commodore Matthew Perry when he forcibly opened Japan to trade in 1853.’

    That, ladies and gentleman, in diplomatic-speak, is called a “burn”.

  3. Things definitely would have been better for everyone if Japan never started that war.

  4. Just visited the Missouri last week while on holiday in Oahu. Back in Tokyo now
