Hello, I have always wondered, and have never had a answer to why, that after the Allies won WWII, that all the Axis powers had thier National flags outlawed, or forced to be changed, that the Japanese where still and are able to have the Meatball flag as thier National flag? Even as a young boy in the 1970`s, visiting the Vets clubs, the Vets themselves could not explian and or understand why? I and others still find that flag as a reminder of the evils that the Japanese Empire brought upon the world. Still after all these years it has been allowed to fly for the Japanese Nation. What do you think? Best Wishes, Justinkase
