honourable Japanese
Interesting lack of commentary on Tony Abbott's speech in Parliament last week where he claimed that Australians in WWII "admired" the Japanese "sense of honour". It's a rather outlandish claim which I would have expected to draw plenty of flak, but it seems only the RSL and the Chinese are offended:
