Somehow, 400 Japanese soldiers living on Iwo To, I mean Iwo Jima, doesn't 'feel' right to me.

(sigh) too right. Looking at the world as it is today, you’d think the Axis had won!

"Iwo Jima" to "Iwo To"?
That's like the guy who officially changed his name from Al Capone to Ed Capone.

We won the war, then had to buy all their cars.

They could call it G-D Wally World and we would still know what it is.

We lost the battle, won the war, and lost the peace...
That sucks.

Clinton Eastwood used to be a great guy back in the day but in his old age, he morphed into a Lefty. Good riddance! First, he was for euthanasia; now he's for depicting the Japs as our moral equals. I'm against all this absurd pandering to political correctness. How about some respect for history? The Empire Of The Sun DID attack us on December 7, 1941. How soon people forget.

It’s like changing a name between Rodham, Rodham-Clinton and Clinton.

Really?
I had no idea anyone was forced to purchase a more-efficient-than-GM car...
I don’t see a reason to label this as historical revisionism (like FoxNews did... they can make the slightest thing seem like the end of the world...).

I hear ya, this island should have been made into a memorial park/cemetary in memory of the lives that were lost there on both sides
