I'm not sure where the revisionism is, since we have to go through the
Yasukini Shrine story every year, with the "comfort women" story and
the Rape of Nanking. Shall we list all the nations in history that have
perpetrated atrocities on the battlefield? It would seemingly be a
long list, with the lone exception of the USA, now that torture has
been redefined as "enhanced bullshit", and the firebombing of both
Tokyo and Dresden were apparently navigation errors. So I'm not sure
what was being revised.

Hopefully the next country that uses nukes against civilian populations
will be lauded as great humanitarians too, unless they aren't the USA.
