"Nazi Germany didn't have shite on the Japs". Yet the majority of Japanese war criminals were not prosecuted. MacArthur made that decision, further infuriating the vets who served in the Pacific. Whereas the majority of war crimes the Nazis committed were against the populations of concurred countries, including the Jews of course, a lot of the war crimes committed by the Japanese were directly against Allied POW's. Yet MacArthur let them walk.

The majority of Jap war criminals killed themselves before the war ended. He didn't try Hirohito because he thought he needed Hirohito's help to push the country forward. In retrospect, he was right. Hirohito became a well respected world leader in the years following WW2 and was an instrumental part in pushing them into becoming the world's second largest economy through democratic and capitalistic methods.
