You three should be tought a history lesson, perhaps you should read some history, what is happening here is nothing compared to what American servicemen suffered at the hands of those slant eyed devils, take your liberal views and shove them!

Above history is logic. If you want to really stay clean than you can not compare levels of humiliation. What Proud Marine says is that americans are same as their enemies but with a somewhat relaxed approach to torture. Who knows how picture would've change be USA a loosing side.

To the dumbasses commenting that these Japanese POWs are being publicly humiliated you just show what how truly ignorant and stupid you are. It looks like they’re being processed, deloused and being hosed down and given clean uniforms after probably being picked up after being adrift at sea. If you want to really see public humiliation look up the Bataan Death March in 1942. Read the 100 American prisoners executed at Wake Aisland in 1943 or when Japanese would beat Allied prisoners, use them for them for bayonet practice, behead them or throw them back in the water with their hands tied behind their back.

These prisoners are being bathed and deloused after coming aboard the USS New Jersey. Far better treatment than my great uncle received. He died during the Bataan death march and his family never recovered the body.
