Its pretty quaint that we once saw Japanese products as being the cheap shit when even the cheapest Japanese radios and TVs being imported in the 70s were still leagues higher quality than later Chinese shit
If you count the French parts, many joined the Vietnamese. They also gave them their shit hence why you see those anti-tank spears proudly displayed in Vietnamese museums and paintings today.

That's complete bullshit. Their shit was cheap and trash before the import restrictions made it important to actually sell everything brought over. Which slowly brought quality and later still prices up.
Who in their right mind would design let alone use a weapon specifically intended to kill its operator? Why was there no effort to produce it with a delayed action to allow the operator to get clear or extending the length of the pole in order to give him the best chance of survival?
>they used the cargo ships going back to north america to flood USA with cheap electronics
Unironically with America's blessing. In 1966, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara told Johnson that the war would be financially unsustainable, if not utterly ruinous, unless the United States transitioned to a war economy and mobilized the National Guard and the Reserves. Johnson did not believe that he had the clout to do either so he the influx of cheap Japanese and Korean goods was used to partially offset the war's economic costs, which still proved so severe that it killed what was left of the Gold Standard.
Is this the new pregnant Anne Frank shit? At least she isn't israeli
Studio Ghibli actually. And it actually is on topic since the film in question is set in Japan in 1963, during Vietnam's opening phase and arguably the most critical year of the entire war after 1968.
One of the major underlying themes is actually the rise in Japanese student protests, where opposition to the Vietnam War was widespread, although the conflict itself is never mentioned (*cue Mr. Enter kvetching*).
They were a factory and supply depot for America. From their perspective, it was probably a win-win. They got more US cash flowing in, and America was happy to maintain their foothold in Okinawa (Okinawa was still under occupation at that time)
That was the Koreans. For all their whining about war crimes, they were all too happy to do their own in Vietnam.
>That was the Koreans.
War crimes not withstanding, I hear those ROK guys were some tough, war hardened bastards who were eager to repay the Americans for liberating them from the Japanese and the the Comushits. I know it was before most of us were born but Vietnam wasn't always synonymous with failure and was initially seen as another fight for freedom.
Is is? You must be a burger I guess? To me it's synonymous with success, they are one of the few nations that actually BTFO the colonial oppressors on their own terms, and today their economy is rocketing upwards
exposed the Japanese "youth" movements and labor unions as Bolshevik controlled puppet agencies and that's why they were basically politically neutralized in the 70s
I base for the US, primarily the Navy and Air Force. Japanese doctors and nurses also provided medical care for soldiers who were shipped or airlifted back

The consumer good they make for the domestic market are of a build quality that is beyond the comprehension of most America and Europeans.

This is why I can't take their claims seriously
Regarding Japan
>MUH COMFORT WOMEN! MUH RAPES!
Regarding Vietnam (where they raped and used comfort women)
>complete radio silence
Also they regularly travel to the Phillipines these days, knock up local women and then leave
