"But, talking about JP, what the Japanese gov did does not seem very humane to me. Some ppl are like kids. They dare to make mistakes, but dare not admit those."
＜tomi＞
Why do you think that we do not admit war crimes? We have been apologizing for war crimes 30 or more times.

"Japan is a country. So why the gov dare to commit those crimes but dare not admit those???

"I heard the gov even tried to cover the history and fact with New textbooks. So children cannot get access to that history."
＜tomi＞
Cover? Why? We do not admit that 200k comfort women were forced to be used for sex slaves because it is a lie that has never been proved by anybody and any documents.
Do you like someone who accuses you of what you have never done? The problem lies not in Japan but in the accusers of Japan who cannot show any proofs.
Do you know IWG report?
'Since 1999, the Interagency Working Group (IWG) has declassified and opened to the public an estimated 8 million pages of documents, including 1.2 million pages of Office of Strategic Services records; over 100,000 pages of Central Intelligence Agency files;[3] more than 350,000 pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation subject files; and nearly 300,000 pages of Army intelligence files. The IWG has issued three reports to the Congress of the United States (in October 1999,[4] March 2002,[5] and April 2007[6]), and it issues news releases and occasional newsletters.[7]
On March 25, 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law legislation pushing back the group's sunset date to March 2007.

The report further stated that this practice was not charged with criminal acts:[16]
"In part to reduce local resentment against Japan and in part to prevent the spread of venereal disease among its ranks, the Japanese military contracted private vendors to set up “comfort stations” for the troops as early as 1932. Again, this practice was known to the Allies but no criminal charges were filed at the trials." (except one case in the Dutch East Indies).

Japanese Army's purpose of comfort women system was to "reduce local resentment against Japan and in part to prevent the spread of venereal disease among its ranks".
That is, the system was set up mainly for the humanitarian ends: avoiding rapes of local residents.
In addition, Japanese govt had prohibited soldiers from compulsory mobilization of women as sex slaves in 1938.
'Classified Order No.745 by Japanese Army entitled "Regarding Recruites of Female Workers at Military Comfort Houses" issued on March 4, 1938 reads:
"Concerning the recruitment of female workers for organizing comfort houses at..., there are many cases that recruiters were apprehended and interrogated by the police authority due to their way of recruitment being similar to kidnapping.
Therefore, from this time forth, the recruitment shall be implemented under the control of dispatched armies..., so that the utmost caution shall be taken to conserve the dignity of the Army of Japan and prevent this matter from developing into a social problem."'

"And again, you cannot deny the Japanese ugly crimes just because "every gov has secret wrongdoings."?"

Before judging others, you MUST judge yourself. Without this fair attitude, no nation will accept any of your judgment, because none will respect any hypocrites concealing their wrongs.
