Not a new revelation, but the article pulls from good sources and it's nice to see this myth repudiated in a mainstream outlet.

I would also stab him, maybe it would save millions of people,

So, it's okay for you to kill in the name of protecting lives, but other people shouldn't?

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

The US wouldn't kill in the name of protecting Asian lives because the US didn't care about Asian lives. They literally had Japanese American children in concentration camps at the time. Half a decade later they'd commit to a massive genocidal war in Korea, and before that they'd do plenty of mass killings of peaceful protestors in Korea.

Still no argument, just clowning and laughing at yourself, cracker.
