Not a new revelation, but the article pulls from good sources and it's nice to see this myth repudiated in a mainstream outlet.

Also the phrasing of "the Japanese" being at fault and not their fascist government and its supporters

This is an excellent thing to point out, and that was not the message I had hoped to convey. I was specifically referencing the Japanese government, not the general population of Japan. Thank you for pointing that out, and my apologies for not being more clear
