Nonsense.  Civilization implies a certain amount of
value on human life--at a minimum, those who adhere to
the same values.  Japanese culture puts absolutely NO
value on human life other than Japanese aristocracy,
and minimal value on that.  For illustrations, see:
Koreans, Ainu, Allied POWs, Chinese civillians (esp
those living in Nanking).

Even at the end, Whermacht units didn't resort to
atrocities.  Those were the province of SS,
Hitlerjugend, and Werewolf.
