I thank your father for his service.

I do not believe that American Marines comitted torture or other war crimes on the Japanese in WWII. I am sure many were blwn up, shot, burned etc., and that at times it became very brutal. I am sure that under some condition some Marines may have gone too far in their pursuit of victory on some islands somewhere, however this was not the norm. The US even had punishment under the UCMJ for misconduct - I doubt the Japanese did!
