As Admiral Dennis C. Blair, a former commander of the US Pacific Fleet, stated at a recent conference, “The history of Asia from the 1930s to about 1955 or so was not pretty in any way&hellip;.I don’t think any country can have a monopoly on righteousness, or on guilt and shame” for that time. Blair added that “the attempt to hold a ‘we were right’ and ‘you were wrong’ sweepstakes is not going to help our children and grandchildren understand what happened there.”
前美国太平洋舰队司令布莱尔上将（Dennis C. Blair）在最近的会议上指出，“20世纪30年代到1955年左右的亚洲历史绝对算不上光彩，……我认为没有一个国家占据着全部的正确性，也没有一个国家需要承担所有罪恶和羞耻。”布莱尔还说，“一定要争出个对错对于让我们的子孙理解当时发生过什么毫无帮助。”
