Crime against humanity were committed for absolutely no practical reasons, but just for the sakes of it. This is deeply rooted into Japan's ****ed up culture, which is why they have absolutely no remorse for what they did, then and to this day. You would not want to see a ruthless mass murderer who shows no remorse back into your neighbourhood. Likewise, a country of barbarians who has proved to be capable of committing the worst crimes imaginable for fun should not be allowed to possess force of any kind.

Your ignorance is so upsetting. China is not innocent either. During Mao's regime, an estimate number of 44.5 to 77 million people were killed, compared to Japan's 10-15 million. Stalin had killed 20 million innocent people in Russia during his purge. Both countries have armies. The casualties from the Nazi war and the Sino war are comparable, except the latter was over a duration triple the length of the former.
You have to note that the statistics of the Sino war was given by the PRC Government (China). According to Rummel's statistics, which are more unbiased, the casualties of the Sino-Japanese genocide was 4-6 million, compared to Germany's 21 million. The book 'The Rape of Nanking' was found to contain many fabricated photos (i.e. the one that was posted above), which were provided by the PRC. You have to question whether their statistics are a misrepresentation too.
'Crime against humanity were committed for absolutely no practical reasons, but just for the sakes of it'.
Your statement is hypocritical. The Nazis were mainly driven by racial and nationalistic ideals of German-Aryan superiority and sought to exterminate and oppress non-Aryans. Japan, who were in a famine at the time, was primarily driven to acquire new territories in order to gain access to resources.
I assume you are American. Since we are calling modern citizens 'barbarians' because of historical events, lets go back further. The Spanish and the Portugese, which most White Americans are descended from, have done far worse things. Around 90% of the Aztec population, which were at 14 million before the genocide, were wiped out. 120 million Native Americans were killed in Canada, America, and South America. No genocide comes close to what the Spanish colony did during the XVIth century in terms of percentage of the total population.
We demonise Germany and Japan for their oppression against the minority when the European countries did the same thing. It seems like the allies (i.e. Americans) and the countries with good international standing have re-written history. You could argue that the oppression of Africa (i.e Rwanda) and India by the British Empire and the Native Americans by the Spaniards were far worse than of the Jews in Germany or the Chinese.
