Context:
If you ask my grandfather about this. His response would be "Any survivors? Yes?? Damn.." As a WWII vet I do not blame him at all for his attitude about this. I, personally, wish it would had been on the other side of Japan and taken out North Korea completely. At least Mother Nature would be helping the world.

It is not identified within the quoted words.
Ori - you know better than to ask a question like this!! How can we possibly know what "it" means?
What is the context?
"it" could be the recent tsunami that hit Japan.
"It" refers to "this" at the end of the first sentences. Since you didn't supply us with the context for that, that's the best answer i can give you.
@oristarA,
I've heard this elsewhere, so even though you don't provide enough material to say definitively, this is referring to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. There is a certain segment of the population of the US that feels animosity towards the Japanese from WWII.

Yes, the context is talking about the Japan earthquake.
Thank you all for replying.

Some of them have
GOOD REASON for it,
qua personal losses to Japanese cruelty.
@JTT,
Not my fault.
But thank you.
