It was not only him all the soldiers that arrived from Okinawa ready to exact vengeance after pearl harbor but they found a population suffering from famine and to weak to even care , they went the fuck we need to help these guys
One of the first orders Douglas MacArthur gave his soldiers when he landed in Japan was that none of them were to eat Japanese food.
Virtually the entire Japanese population was starving. The cities had been firebombed. Harvests had failed. The demands of the war had drained the countryside. Food that used to flow in from Korea, Taiwan, and China had stopped coming. Around 5.1 million Japanese soldiers and civilians were returning home from across Asia, and another million would follow the next year, all of them hungry.
MacArthur arrived in Tokyo on August 30, 1945. He had been appointed Supreme Commander by President Truman. His first priority, before democracy, before the constitution, before the war crimes trials, was to set up a food distribution network.
He decreed that no Allied personnel could assault Japanese people or eat the scarce Japanese food. American soldiers who had been killing Japanese weeks earlier were now ordered to leave Japanese rice alone.
Then American food started arriving. Large quantities of foodstuffs and medical stores were poured into the country from American sources. American military government teams were sent across Japan to supervise the distribution.
In fiscal year 1946, the U.S. government provided $92 million in loans through a program called Government Aid and Relief in Occupied Areas. From April 1946, private American relief organizations were allowed in as well, under an umbrella called Licensed Agencies for Relief in Asia. Even with all of this, millions of Japanese were still on the brink of starvation for several years.
A Japanese observer named Kazuo Kawai put the whole project in one sentence.
"Democracy cannot be taught to a starving people."
I am Japanese. There is almost no Japanese family tree that does not pass through that winter. The grandmothers who fed my parents lived to feed them because American food reached the ports.
Most Japanese have never been told this clearly. They should be.
The old enemy fed us.
