A friend of mine is a longtime jeweler and watchmaker, still working in his 90s. He was in the PTO from Guadalcanal all the way to the Philippines, and he too refuses to forgive the Japanese. He'll talk with them if they come into his shop, but he will not forgive.

Given some of the more unsettling stories he's told me over the years, I can't blame him.
