I was born eight years after the war ended and I still cringe when I hear about stuff made by Mitsubishi.

My biological father would have been parachuting into Japan but instead he just ended up in the occupation forces. But I didn't even learn about that until the 1990s. At least two of my now deceased rural neighbors fought on Iwo Jima.
