According to my uncles who fought them in the Pacific, it was properly expressed as "Jap Bastards." One was Army and one was Navy and they didn't agree on much - but the did agree on that.
My father was a very kind man. Kind but no push over. He made it to GS-16 in the civil service and full colonel in the reserves. But I remember when I was five, six years after the war, when he saw some people of Japanese heritage (for all we knew they were grew up in America not immigrants from Japan). The look in his eyes sent shivers down my spine. He got over it. But it took him more than a few years.
