Midway movie ‘capable of ruining anybody’s weekend’


"This film is dedicated to the Americans and Japanese who fought at Midway.”

“The same fanatical Japanese military who killed over 40 percent of American prisoners of war or used prisoners for rifle and bayonet target practice? The same who massacred at least 20 million Chinese men, women and children? The same who committed systemic rape of Chinese girls and women using bats, bottles, or bayonets as tools of mutilation before carrying out executions? The same who, according to Ian Toll’s “Conquering Tide,” would have children form into a circle, toss in a live hand grenade and have them play with until it exploded? The same who, when hungry, actually stripped muscle from living humans to eat? The same who used Chinese civilians for testing diseases and pathogens for biological warfare?


The dedication is the same as a streamer on a movie well forgotten about the Nazi German occupation of Europe: “They had heroes, too.” No, they did not.

The thing about dedicating Midway to any Japanese military falls right in with current Progressive philosophy and politics: All thoughts are equal (except thoughts by white people); all religions are equal (except Christianity and Judaism); and all persons of color have, at one time or another, been forced into war by white privilege.
