I would respectfully disagree.

Despite being "period-correct", that where it should stay: in that period of time.

I can understand the personal comments by those who were there and survived the attack, but since then, we, as a Nation, have moved beyond that anger and now serve together with Japan in a variety of capacities.

If that argument is used, we would have "period specific" ways to insult any group of people that we have been in conflict with. I could elaborate, but I think the point is understood.
