Police find man who mailed war bones to Japanese consulate in New York

I think killing someone is a far more disrespectful thing, but that's just me.

Taking human remains are some sort of trophy or collectibles is just sick and disrespectful to those who died.

What this man did was wrong but at least he had some remorse and returned them, I wish the Japanese POW camp commander (or his family ) who who had my mother's cousin beheaded in front of his brothers then took his head saying it would make a nice talking point with his grandchildren would have done the same before his mother passed away last year.

"Legitimate war trophies imo."

Yeah. About that. That is sick.

I can see taking a lugar, or keeping pieces of schrapnel or what have you, but taking the REMAINS of another human being as a momento? Not only is that a bit twisted, but it's also quite inhumane -- even if the guy was 'the enemy'.

Are you implying that the bulk of USMC veterans of the Pacific are weird?

If they took human remains as souvenirs then yes.

Legitimate war trophies imo. But only if you actually fought there...

Taking human remains as a memento is just weird.

He was probably worried about being cursed...

What a weird thing to do. Wonder if he broke Republic of Palau laws.
