Anyone else done...

When it comes to the Garleans rejecting our help I always think about the IRL issue with Okinawa (which would be very real to Japan.)

When Japan was taking Okinawa, history class told us (and my Japanese teacher from Japan in Uni confirmed this when I asked) that Japan soldiers would tell the Okinawans that if they didn't join them or commit suicide, the Americans would kidnap and rape them. Many ended their lives from that fear.

So yes, I can completely see why the Garleans would believe we're evil and not there to help them.

(Note I don't mean the one-off soldier that DID do that, because there was probably some truth to the statement like any. But they were saying ALL the Americans would, that none could be trusted.)
