Obama will remove the troops in Japan and finally end WWII just as he claimed to end the Iraq war.

Watching the Marines conduct the air raid, Wada was impressed with the flying skill of VMB-611 and stated “you clazy six er-reven Malines pletty good fryers.”

After the mission on August 10th 1945, Lieutenant Wada became a man without a country. He was given a new identity and appearance by the Allies to protect him from retribution. What happened to Wada from that point forward remains unknown. The records of the events of that day remained classified for over 35 years, and even to this day do not appear in any official historical records of the US Marine Corps.
