My Thoughts Regarding Guadalcanal

In response to number five about The Pacific, no I do not think that either side can claim moral superiority. War is war. Killing is killing. No matter how it's done, it is still immoral and wrong. Yes, sometimes the tactics used for it or the context in which it is done can make it more inhumane or disgusting, but in that case as well, I don't think either side can claim moral superiority. Japan attacked us first, so we responded by going to war with them. However, according to the video, some of the ways we killed were awful. Like the Japanese guy who the Americans were playing with. That was so immoral and horrible. They do something sneaky or tricky, we play with and torture their men. No one wins here. I think both sides are equally immoral.
