Correct- that is why China once said that you could NEVER invade The USA because there would be “a gun under every blade of grass.”

First of all, Mr. K, as others have said, this was ***attributed*** to Admiral Yamamoto. Not merely wrong nationality, but how does a country state something? Second, the gun would be “behind” every blade of grass, not “under” it.

Third, and for the benefit of the others reading this, Admiral Yamamoto did ***NOT*** say this. NO ONE said this, at least not until the false Yamamoto quote came to be. https://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/misquoting-yamamoto/

So, why do I bring up point #3? For the same reason cited in the last sentence of the Factcheck cite, above: “But we do object to fabricating quotes and passing them off as historical fact.” We are supposed to be the ones with the facts, the truth; if we go off and cite imaginary quotes, we simply discredit every other argument we make, no matter how factual or true they may be. Let’s leave making stuff up to the Swalwells of this world - the ignorant Leftist gungrabbers (but I repeat myself) for whom facts are optional.

Please note that NONE of what I am posting here should be taken as a put-down of anyone (except Swalwell, he deserves it every time he opens his mouth or puts out a written message). I am simply trying to improve our chances of prevailing, based on FACTS, not hyperbole that sounds great but is actually harmful to us. Frankly, I ***WISH*** that Yamamoto had said or written this quote - it’d be extremely helpful to us...but facts are facts, let’s deal only with them, please.
