You are both correct on this issue.
I have some WWII newsreels and war dept films that are 16mm, and may of them have "Japs" in the titles. That was a different time, and they were the enemy then, but not now of course.
On a side note, I am looking for a place to find some prints or good digital images to be used for DVD covers on these. Most of what I have is Air-Naval stuff in the Pacific, so for the most part I want something that depicts that aspect of things.
On another note I recently saw where the number of days of our involvement in Iraq has already passed the number of days of our involvment in all of WW2. It was 1300 some odd days as I recall. Amazing what we got done during WW2!!!
