Lots of army fetishist chuds, like the kind that putz around r/history and spend their time going on about what a decent guy Rommel was worship him too and dream about sniffing the taint of his dead corpse.

The WWII pacific theater was won in spite of him and every death after China entered the Korean War is explicitly his fault. He's a bad person and a worse military leader.

Did he ever try to exercise his authority to prevent the atrocities? If not, how can we ever know whether he was a puppet or not? It seems more likely to me that the high command deliberately shielded the Emperor from prosecution after the fact by downplaying his responsibility.
