First of all the bomb didn't hit the hospital it exploded outside and blew the windows in.
Second Japan had no qualms about bombing hospitals and killing civilians in China, Korea, Philippines and Australia.
Are you sure about what Japan did in China, Korea, Philippines and Australia? When I think of Japan, I think of a peaceful nation. I don't know much about WW2 but my college professor is a history buff. He told me that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because USA cut off its oil supply
shareYou can't be serious.
Japan now comes across as peaceful because they have learnt from the past.
Your history professor should not be teaching and you should be questioning everything you are told.
While oil was one of the reasons it was not the main one (Germany was not happy with Japan attacking US)
My professor doesn't appreciate when we question his lectures and we run the risk of a failing grade
share"I don't know much about WW2"
You said it, pal. Neither does your history professor.

Because it never happened. Only one person associated with the hospital died, and he was on his way TO the hospital, not AT the hospital. The Japanese did not bomb the hospital at all.
Why not show the IJN bombing an orphanage full of Hawaiian children? Same effect, and also not true...
It was just more Bay false sympathy.

The Japanese were brutal though, the rape of Nanking, machine gunning captured Australian nurses, torturing Allied prisoners etc. If the Japanese were honorable in war than the made up scene of bombing the hospital would be an issue but as it stands I just see it as a metaphor for Japanese cruelty.
