Opinion of Macarthur's administration of Japan?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Mishima Yukio, himself not exactly someone who was "reconciled to Japan's defeat", said several times during his career that Hirohito should have abdicated to take responsibility for Japan's war dead. Akihito was eleven years old at the time of the surrender and could easily have been groomed into a "normal" constitutional monarch like the Windsors or the Orange-Nassaus,* rather than the bizarre "completely powerless even on paper BUT icons and ideal-types to the revisionist far right BUT totally uninterested in rightist politics themselves BUT who the hell knows because the Imperial Household Agency schedules their every bathroom break anyway" chimera that the Imperial House actually ended up as. Keeping Hirohito around and executing him were not the only options!

*Possibly even with MacArthur as Regent, a post with a long, long history in Japanese court politics.
