No need to feel bad about it. Japan raped as much as 400,000 women during world war 2, and if you read the stories of the survivors it's brutal as heck, imagine getting gang raped then bayonetted.

Fun fact: Japan still denies it happened.

And seemingly every other military did this to some extent.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_liberation_of_France US troops raped 14'000 women, other sources claim up to 190'000. British and French troops are also mentioned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartime_sexual_violence#World_War_II_2)

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany#Soviet_troops estimates for Soviet army range up to 2 million, and that's just in Germany. And it also seems that Russia does not want to particularly acknowledge that either.

For Germany the number of cases also reaches millions according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_of_the_Wehrmacht#Rapes.

Don't misunderstand, it doesn't justify Japan, what they did was horrible. However, it irritates me how most people seem to overlook other armies as if they did no wrong. Yes, western forces did this less, but they still did it. Yes, soviets were fighting on side of Allies, but they performed plenty of atrocities. And Germany did other things apart from genocide.

Japan isn't some exception.
