Have you see Monte Python an the Holy Grail? "I have not yet begun to fight" the black knight says, despite not having any arms or legs. There no longer existed an opportunity for Japan to attack, as their military was basically gone.
This is still irrelevant. And Filipino is a nationality, not a race.
You're satisfied with vengeance. I get that. But vengeance is not justice.

Sure since you've been reading about WWII since you were a teen, maybe you can shed some light as to the actual reparations that the Japanese paid to the Philippines, Singapore and China. Three countries that have well documented war crimes and thousands that suffered and were killed at the hands of the Japanese.
You're espousing that justice could be had from courtroom, I have not read of any courtroom that was able to hold responsible any Japanese soldiers for warcrimes. In fact my readings have shed light to the fact that Japan doesn't recognize any of it's nationals to have committed any warcrimes.
