Japan wasn't a feudal society 100 years ago, in fact, they had beaten a western power 10 years prior.
Not to mention the 'West' just finished 4 years of blowing each other up, not very "Civilized" imo.

Imagine the US never having been in a war since before the Declaration of Independence. Would that GP included that in their criticism.
