From the article:

"The biggest success of this mission was secrecy. Unlike more recent missions where the current Administration quickly ran to the press to release details of successful missions, even the President of the United States kept the secret until all of the aircrews were accounted for."

My feelings about Japan are very complicated.

It is a fact that most Japanese today consider Japan a **VICTIM** of WW2.

I love Japan, but I reaaaaally reject that thinking.
