My dad says if you ain’t cheatin’ you ain’t trying -and- the reason we beat the Japanese in the Pacific theater is because they didn’t know how to play football or cheat ....

Well, I dislike calling out a WWII vet regarding an opinion, but I disagree. I think Vince Lombardi would disagree too.

I am also curious what you and/or your father would classify as "cheating" when it comes to war against the country that conducted the Bataan death march and other atrocities.

Not wanting to get into a long discussion about all this which I won't ... just saying that if you read about how we conducted fleet operations in the Pacific for one, and two, the Japanese had a cut and dried method of warfare (evening chats about history) - we didn't ...they, the Japanese, thought we'd fight one way ... we didn't ... we cheated on every method possible to defeat them including breaking their codes ...

So for me that's all I'll say about it ....
