I saw that page, wished it had more information.

In a way, I can see why there could have been little regard for humane treatment of Japanese PoWs when you consider they could have appeared to have little regard for their own lives in the eyes of the soldiers fighting them. Why have more concern for Japanese lives than they themselves have? Couple that with the stories of Japanese mistreatment of Allied PoWs, I can see a certain unwillingness on the part of the Allied soldier to take Japanese as prisoners.

Before anyone gets in an uproar, this is not something I am advocating, just offering discussion.
