I won't argue that point at all with you, you are right on the money. They should never have been given so much help to rebuild after being the one to start the war.

However you can't take away the fact they learned to build quality products regardless of what it was. Early Japanese products I remember were largely junk but they got better at the U.S. expense. I would have never guessed so many brands that were always made in the U.S. would be made elsewhere including Japan.
