Truly just wars may be few and far between but the Pacific war was one of them.  I get annoyed by flag waving and chest thumping as much as the next guy but very few people alive today would try to justify Japans actions in WW2.  I think it&#x27;s ok to use the word &quot;respect&quot; in this case.  Comparing a Marine or Sailor who broke the rules to fight in the Pacific to a kid fighting with ISIS is a real stretch.
