Easy for you to say. You ever spend time in a POW camp?
I suggest you read the book "Unbroken" then put yourself in that situation then come back and tell everyone they shoukd be able to forgive the atrocities they experienced.
I will say the main charachter in the book Louis Zamprese ended up becoming a saved Christian and more or less forgave the Japanese and his captives but as told in the book he was an exception.
Should we as a group of people (most of the US ) that never dealt with being beaten tortured and treated completely inhumanely carry the same hate? No.
Should we judge those that were treated that way and didnt forgive? I think not.
