Posted in: S Korea wants 'rising sun flag of hatred' banned at Olympics See in context

The war ended 75 years ago, people need to move on to heal divisions, hardly anyone alive today took part in it and those that orchestrated it have long past on. Could it be that the people alive today in both countries don't feel the same? Now I could understand more about the request if this flag was made specfically for the war, like the Nazi party flag was made for the Nazi party which is why it isn't flown anymore but the rising sun flag has been in use in Japan for over 400 years as a national and lucky symbol and has been used at sporting events for such purposes... it seems more of a reminder that Japan was in the war? Pretty much every country has had war and bloodshed at some point during the past, are we supposed to change all the flags that were used by those countries before they went to war becuase the flag might remind some people that people were killed?
