Good morning.
"You give it a rest, dude."

I'm going to. Beating a dead horse has never been my thing.

You said that you agree with two authors who had come to the conclusion that a war that continued for three years after a certain turning point couldn't continue for one even with the worst outcome. I would consider us losing to be the worst outcome. We didn't lose and the war didn't end in a year. The inevitable outcome is irrelevant to what you wrote. If most historians don't agree with me that Japan didn't surrender until 1945 then they are as wrong as you are.

There have been a couple of benefits to this thread. Thanks to you and the other FReepers who saw the movie and panned it, I'll wait to see it on DVD. The other plus is that I won't blow any money buying your books.

The equine is now starting to stink so I'm off to see what the FreeRepublic has to offer this morning before I go outside to work on my new house. Thanks for the entertainment and I'll see you around.
