Before Sept 11th you had to look real hard to find Pearl Harbor mentioned in the newspapers on Dec 7th, but they always seemed to have a front page article on memorial services in Hiroshima on Aug 6th.

From my post #53 in yesterday's thread:

"Our schoolbooks devote more space to Hiroshima than to the far, far greater casualties on Okinawa.
Students are not told that the two tragedies are connected as if the American bombing to prevent an enormous bloodbath on the Japanese mainland is somehow not a direct result of the Japanese imperial military's efforts a few weeks earlier to unleash 2,000 kamikazes, and through suicide attacks and banzai charges kill every American (and tens of thousands of civilians) on the island rather than surrender."

I am sick of the liberal attempts to discredit everything this nation stands for!
When did the word "WIN" become dirty and undesirable?
If our forefathers had shared this attitude we would still be bowing to the Queen, and if our heroes in WWII had believed the PC way, we'd be speaking German.
