I do not know why it is, but criticm of Japan's royal family is frowned upon. And my Japanese ex-wife was far more critical and disparaging than I ever was.

Well, I see them and I see a walking sink for my tax money. And the constant ignoring of Japan's imperial past in Vietnam is rather disgusting. Is it so hard to simply acknowledge the past as wrong and move on? Cannot adults deal with history in a calm, sane manner when they are not directly responsible for it?

And the constant ignoring of Japan's imperial past in Vietnam is rather disgusting.

Imperial Japan's past history with Vietnam is nothing compared to what my country did. And the Vietnamese today are far more hateful of China than the US or Japan.

A forgotten part of history but not to the Vietnamese is that there were some Japanese soldiers who instead of repatriating back to Japan, remained after WW2 to support the liberation movement.
