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!
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?
