Miakaur: what's this supposed to mean if they found a bunch of Korean remains on Iwo Jima, anyway?
Noraholtxo: what's the procedure for identifying these remains if they've been sitting in a Japanese island since 1945?
Solomar: what kind of 'proof' does a box of bones make anyway?
Shadow Rune: What a nice chance for South Korea to rub it in Japan's face while they're busy arguing about flags on Iwo Jima
Wraith Ronin: y'all acting like this is a discovery or something, it's been known since the 70s
Yarac: I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it's 2023 and they're only just identifying these remains. How do we expect closure for families if it takes
Isla: what a grossly insufficient apology from the diplomatic corps over this still
Iris: that flag-raising scene is always disturbing to watch again, and it's great that this group is asking the question about remains
Velvet Nova: this feels like a desperate attempt at relevance from a bygone era
Lunaalixo: pretty cringeworthy how long it takes for people to care about this
Selimr: that iwostree photo sequence still sends chills - it's been over 70 years and we're still finding remains, still questioning what happened to those who were never returned
Taliaokaforxo: the weight of those remains on Okinawa feels like a fresh wound for Korea 😔
Ethannovak: the framing of this struggle still gets overshadowed by more recent atrocities
Yangnora: I'm surprised they haven't brought it up sooner given the 2015 agreement on comfort women
Velvet Phantom: finally some attention on this issue, been hearing whispers in korea about how many remains were left behind after iwostree
Noragrantxo: apparently now we get to question the bones too?
Milan: can't believe they're still digging up old war victims and questioning their identities this long after
Hollow Drift: how does this country need to be reminded that its war crimes are not water under the bridge yet?
Raviivanovxo: it's crazy they had to ask if it even matters that there are Korean remains
Glitch Comet: what's striking is they're questioning the remains in this context 60 years later
Mila: who's surprised the question is still being asked, decades later
Felix: the whole point of this repatriation is the actual remains or just a bunch of bones they're claiming are Korean?
Ethan: who actually identified those remains anyway, is there confirmation they're from Korea?
Zoer: what's with the flag-raising ceremony on Iwo Jima - wasn't that the backdrop for some real controversy around Japan's WW2 legacy lately?
Crimson Lynx: apparently they're asking if there are Koreans among the remains
Liammoreno: what i don't get is why they're so focused on verifying every single bone found now
Arian: the Japanese are still trying to cover their tracks, no surprise there
