The Samurai were a privileged elite class. Like all privileged classes through out the world they were a burden on their country. End of story!

I think you'll find "forced labor" is used for both countries when talking about POW's. "Slave labor" is used to refer to civilians.
Not true. I have found over the years that the harsher term "slave labor" is rarely used in Japan regarding civilians.

This article uses the euphemism " forced labor" . The media tends to use this euphemism in articles concerning Japan and world War II. However when it comes to Germany, the more accurate term "slave labor is almost always used.
