I don't understand thought styles of a person
both applaud a warring lord whose name was "ODA Nobunaga" and criticize their boss's power harassments.
both support thorough engagement of Ukrainian forces, and Criticize (or rather, make fun of) the former Japanese military's policy of thorough engagement during the Pacific War.

I know that there are different backgrounds of period, technology and thought.
Especially, after the WW2, new laws are established about war protocol.
However, each of us should have our own basic policy in our mind.
So, we should have a responsibility to explain the contradiction of the above themes without the contradiction based on our policies.

Once forgetting the concept of "justice",
Vietnam defeated the U.S., and Afghanistan deposed both the U.S. and the Soviet Union (now Russia).
Base on the facts, Afghanistan is the most powerful country in the world(although I personally hate the Taliban).
Even if, as of 1945, more than 10 atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, killing and wounding half the population and furthermore taking complete control of the country, if Japan was prepared to fight a guerrilla war for more than half a century afterwards--
maybe, we could not win the U.S. but we could not lose the U.S.
Basically, if we take it to guerrilla warfare, it becomes a "no-win" war at the stage.

However I try to talk about "guerrilla warfare by the entire nation at the end of the Pacific War", most people stop the talk with looking at me like,
"This guy (Ebata) has a "right" ideology (militarist, nationalist, right-wing car driver, etc.)?"
Well, I can understand the feeling, and in fact, I myself have seen people who say such things with such eyes.
However, I think "Stop thinking is not good"
-----
Now I have never seen the questions an answers like,
Why can you support thorough engagement of Ukrainian forces, however criticize (or rather, make fun of) the former Japanese military's policy of thorough engagement during the Pacific War ?
I feel a buzzing discomfort.
