[@ownfknprogram]

Yes everyone forgot about WW2. We Japan & US are going forward, not to the past. Cheers for our friendship btw Japan & US.

[@AkoSiJhioh]

Yes, we have forgotten World War 2. Japan is our ally. They are not the same people as they were 60 years ago. We want to forget World War 2 so we can move forward. If we keep ourselves in the past, we will never get anywhere.

[@AkoSiJhioh]

병신아. 우리 미국인들은 태평양 전쟁을 잊었어...너희 달리 와.

[@gusxor89]

너의 의견은 관심도 없어 넌 미국인이 아니거든. 미국인이 될 자격도 없는 멍청이야 역사를 알고, 미국인이 되라

[@AkoSiJhioh]

임동욱 나는 캘리포니아에 태어났고 자랐어. 내가 그래서 미국인이야. 한국인 달리와 우리는 자유가 있고 생각하는게 자유해. 네가 한국인들은 항상 맞다고 생각한거야? 니 자랑, 미워함과 용서할수없는건은 자신을 파괴할거야. 나는 어떤 한국인계 미국인 해군인한테 얘기했을 때는 일본을 싫다고 말했을땐 "네 마음을 열어야 돼"라고 했어. 또한, 니 안내를 위해, 미국은 일본보다 더 많은 사람을 죽여버렸어. 네이티브 아미레칸한테, 필리핀인한테, 일본인한테, 비트남인한테, 아프가니스탄한테.. 우리는 미안하게 생각하고 우리 역사를 거절하지않는다. 넌 인간이 되라.
