So, I guess Eisenhower is full of BS, and knew nothing about the war?
You say I must know nothing about the Japanese people. Odd, that. My mother was one of those allegedly "being organised into cadres which were to be armned (sic) with bamboo spears." She was 18 when the war ended. Like all of her peers, she was mightily sick of war, and not inclined to sharpen any bamboo.
As for your "dogs" comment, I believe you can read, and I believe the rules of posting insist you not engage in personal attacks. Calling someone an "ignorant, ungrateful dog" proves true one of the golden rules of debate: When you're losing points, resort to name-calling. I'm sorry you chose to go down that pitiful path.
Maybe your mother-in-law was out sick that day, or was someplace where they weren't doing that, but it was being done. And she would have been doing it whether or not she was "so inclined."
