Default RedSox fans were wearing the Red Sun?

Cudos to the great Boston fans at the game last night and overall.

But my grandfather who fought in the Pacific must be rolling in his grave right now at the sight of the moronic American fans wearing Japanese red sun bandannas.

Did this bother anyone else?

What exactly did you expect? That war happened far before the majority of SE posters were born. The war was fought against 1942-1945 Japan, not 2007 Japan. Go away.

So it never happened? Ignorant!

Lets see...more worried about getting our sports team name spelled wrong instead of dishonoring our country. Perhaps that is what is wrong with America these days.

Yeah..

This is the kind of attitude that keeps some parts of the world mired in senseless conflict for generations.

Lets not get into world affairs and history, but Japan is one of our most significant military and economic partners. After WWII they dissolved their standing army to set up a force that was strictly defensive. They have only deployed troops on foreign soil without a UN mandate once since WWII, to help the US in Iraq. In conclusion, it is ignorance like yours that is wrong with country. Can we lock this thread?
