Great story..! I also love this history.
Did anyone know that Pappy Boyington got his start with the AVG? He was also later a POW.
But times change —the old China is the modern Japan. The old Japan is the new China. To say otherwise is like claiming that Uncle Joe is still our ally —he ONCE was, sure...but times change.
Keep a clear head. Is there any reason other than sheer magnanimity that China should now so publicly overflow with gratitude to the USA for our help during WW2..?
BONUS QUESTION: Why did Japan ask that Obama NOT offer a public apology for Hiroshima?
I ask because the answer is EXTREMELY important, and it is relevant here.
EXTRA BONUS: Why did South Korea just donate a bunch of ships to the Philippines?
Not too sure I follow you Gaijin, especially “the old China is the modern Japan. The old Japan is the new China.”.
While a nice gesture, I think this is a pr move on the prc...; though I was surprised that the AVG’s history was taught in China, most communist countries expunge things like this from their history.
