Committing atrocities in Nanking might not have been good PR, but I don't think it moved the needle like actually attacking America.

- merpnderp 11y agoI agree. My grandfather and many of my family in that generation signed up the next day (I'm American too). I should of been more clear in that after the Red Cross photos, I doubt Americans could have thought less of the Japanese. I mean that in the context of when the Japanese started publishing head chopping contests of Chinese civilians between officers in the Imperial Army, no one in the US could be any more outraged.
