We were fortunate that Admiral Hosogaya (IJN) broke off the battle when he did. The USN force was outnumbered (four cruisers (2 CA, 2 CL) to two (1 CA, 1 CL)) and had the battle continued the USS Salt Lake City (CA) would probably have been sunk.

The USN commander Admiral McMorris was more aggressive in spite of his numerical disadvantage. This may have convinced Hosogaya that the USN had additional forces near by.

The legislation honors 26 elderly Native people who are the few remaining survivors of a military unit that served the country with valor.

And add a dash of racism, too.

Obami is tageting the eldery for cuts. Why? Rev. Wright’s racial doctrines ring a bell for anyone?

Now that you mention it...

Obama: go to hell where you’ll find many will agree with your schemes.
