tojo was the most loyal peson to Emperor
Even Tojo could not stop the War for Emperor
I think she is right..
MacArthur also admitted it.

i'm sorry you are wrong. What she says is wrong.
Tojo being a scapegoat or not is actually no interest to anybody.

What people are furious about is that she claims japan fought the war because they had to. She claims the Imperial Army was the promoter of peace.

Could that be further away from the truth?

The imperialist army fought a war of aggression, discrimination and brought much unnecessary pain to people living not only in Japan, but the entire east and south east asia.
