Actually I had an in depth discussion about the Japanese portrayal of WW2 quite recently... according to my Japanese friend that's not actually true.

They are taught all about it. Every single detail.

My friend is 23 years old.

Judging from the sorts of things I'm hearing in this thread... it's the American education system that should be put under the microscope... not the Japanese.
