Japan paid reparations - 1 trillion, 30 billion yen, plus individual amounts to countries that did not agree to collective remuneration.
The British pay (or paid) pensions for US citizens who fought in Brit units, and have since the war ended. We didn’t do the same for Filipinos.
Acknowledging those who fought with us is right. But it doesn’t make the porkulus one inch better. It’s shameless windowdressing.
Ok, enough, pay them. Who cares, the golf carts and road to Vegas pet projects dwarf this money.
I was just curious.
I salute those brave men and was unaware the Brits paid us.
