These folks remind me of the Japanese Army officers before the Battle of Edson's Ridge!

"Our Yamato daimashii and our banzai charges will put the Yankee Marines to flight! We will crush them!"

History records what happened.

Agreed. I'd rather have someone who operates the way Ray Spruance did at Midway.

Nobody ever accused him of losing that battle - or the war.
