After the despot George read the articles of discontent, he sent Redcoat Marines to erradicate the signers of that historical paper. So historical, those who signed were considered to be the first Warriors of the Revolutionary War.
My ancestor, his wife and 5 daughters fled NY to go western Va. keep from being killed. There were no roads, no Amtrac, no bridges across the many rivers. They fled the redcoat marines like the lucky Chinese did before your gang of killers caught murdered and raped those who didn't flee.
King George would have been a friend/hero of you if he had been Japanese. Heck, he is probably on a shrine with the rest of your Japanese rapist/killer heros of WWII.
Keep posting your inane defenses of the Killer Japanese in WWII. What made you happier, the Rape of Nanking or Pearl Harbor or the Bataan Death March. You probably have wet dreams after you read about those atrocities!
So sit in your Honda and eat your Japanese Rice and dream about the good old days of Japanese Imperialism where your guys ruled the world, until we killed them!
Grampa, I proposed what might have been a more efficient (saving American lives, I kinda' like that) method of stopping the war. Bombing Japan was not without American fatalities.
But if you're happy with ever increasing size of federal government (uniformed or not) fine.
And I'm glad your relatives escaped the horrors of those foreigners attacking and killing citizens on home soil. Both King George and the Japanese military (and you?) were gung-ho on killing.
Meanwhile, my rice in the kitchen comes from socialist California. (oops! Are you in the rice business?)
Tundra and Honda from USA.
And I kinda' enjoyed watching Kwan and Ono skate in the Olympics.....glad we didn't nail their relatives!
Honorable is good but it can be misused to support evil, such as the Prussian officers supporting Hitler's regime.
Did it ever occur to you that just perhaps the idea was to limit TOTAL casualties---both American AND Japanese?? How many MILLIONS would the Japanese militarists have been willing to starve to death in such a blockade before surrendering?? You can bet that the Emperor and the higher-ups would have had their rice bowls filled, no matter what.
How do you feel about the 3,000 Americans murdered on 9/11, or do you have some more homelies about hondas?
Are you Harry Browne, by chance?
This guy reminds of Patty Buckwheat or Harry Browne revising WWII history to suit their political agendas!
From the link: "" The aggregate strength of the Homeland armies would...total 2,903,000 men, 292,000 horses, and 27,500 motor vehicles...." Also, I have read printed literature on the matter that put Japan's homeland defense reserve number of fighter planes in the thousands
"Your reference discusses "domestic upheaval" and eroding "morale" in Japan. "
Again, from the link.:
""The fundamental political reality is that it was Japanese, not American, leaders who controlled when and how the Pacific war would end. Those insisting that Japan's surrender could have been procured without recourse to atomic bombs cannot point to any credible supporting evidence from the eight men who effectively controlled Japan's destiny: the six members of the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal Kido, and the Emperor. Not only has no relevant document been recovered from the wartime period, but none of them, even as they faced potential death sentences in war-crimes trials, testified that Japan would have surrendered earlier upon an offer of modified terms, coupled to Soviet intervention or some other combination of events, excluding the use of atomic bombs. "
Exiting the war with "honor" was paramount to the Japanese and they were willing to die for that cause alone. Is it better to starve a million people in a blocade over years and years time or kill 100,000 in one blast and force a surrender?
Have you been spanked over this one yet, cause it ain't true....Nanking.
I said that not a single fanatic who was killed ever harmed another innocent after they were killed!
I'm sure that some racist Japanese Murderers and racists escaped final justice and lived.
However, it is a scientific fact that those who were killed, never harmed another innocent person after they were killed. Killing fanatics is the only sure cure to keep fanatics from hurting or killing innocent people.
Remember, the dead Talibaners and al Queerdos, will never harm another innocent person again. The know cure for terrorism has been administered to those who assumed winter temp in Afghanistan!
I threw in my favorite cartoon on this issue and a few comments about the only way to cure terrorism!
