Churchill's diagnosis of the Jap military's unconscionable disregard for civilian welfare and life, in ¶2, p. 1, could have been written by you:
"...power still lay almost entirely in the hands of a military clique determined to commit the nation to mass suicide rather than accept defeat. The appalling destruction confronting them made no impression on this fanatical hierarchy..."

The Brits turned to UK over to the Socialists in 1945 just like Americans turned our country over to Barry in 2008 and 2012.
A generation that didn’t learn from history is doomed to repeat the mistakes, sadly.
