How did Japan convince an army to rape 20,000 women (including children), force families to commit incestuous acts, and murder 60,000-300,000 civilians at Nanjing?

>he thinks it's difficult to get soldiers to rape the conquered

You're adorable

THERE WAS NO "RAPE OF NANKING".

Prove it.

By brainwashing them same as every other dictatorship.

They're barbarians, what do you expect?

The imperial armed forces and society at large stressed the importance of decorum. You were expected to either die fighting or to commit suicide. When the chinese civilians and soldiers surrendered the japanese saw that as a breach of decorum, and for that they saw it fit to punish them.

THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE ONES WHO CLAIM THAT IT OCCURRED.

Well there's a photo of executed civilians in the OP.

>convince an army to rape

Kill yourself

Sounds pretty hot desu

Being a Japanese soldier was fucking hell, it was basically standard doctrine for the officers and older soldiers to make the new recruits' lives a living hell for a year, then the next years recruits would come in and the now embittered and desensitized soldiers would have their turn to torment the new guys. Add in Japan's "muh honorobu samurai tradition" indoctrination and their belief that turning their soldiers into unthinking robots was the key to winning wars, since human wave tactics obviously worked so well against the Russians, and the Japanese soldiers were liable to snap and take their stress out in the form of war crimes.

It didn't take much convincing, it is in their savage DNA.

>getting an army to mass rape women takes "convincing"
opaaa)))) :DDDDDD

>it's another war crimes denial thread

Soldiers tend to be the dregs of society. It's rare to get people serve on the front that have a properly functioning moral compass.

...

Japan is literally rape fetish: the country. Considering you are on Veeky Forums of all places you should be aware of this.

I didn't even know Don king got raped

Because you believe in chink propaganda. Rape of Nanking is about as real as the Holohoax.

>Soldiers tend to be the dregs of society.
No. They don't. People of all walks of life were soldiers back then.

Raping and murdering civilians is something armies are naturally inclined to do, you have to set up rules against that and deal out serious punishment, to stop an army from doing that and it is still not guaranteed to work.

(You)

Well there are several reasons. Japan had a chauvinistic ideology for centuries, and it reached its climax during WW2.

When people have been indoctrinated for centuries that the Han Chinese are literally dogs in human form, and that your Emperor commands you to destroy and take their land(the Emperor who you think is a literal God on Earth), then atrocities usually are a consequence.

>be nip soldier
>be harassed by nationalistic guerilla partisan chinks
>round them up and shoot them
REEEEEE WAR CRIMES REEEEEE

>implying killing subhuman japs is wrong

Chinese guerillas were just exterminating pests.
