There’s a book, I believe, called “Flyboys” that does a pretty good job dissecting parts of the Pacific War, as well as the history and cultural differences that led to the war. Worth a read. Although more seems to have been published about WWII in the European theater, it is worthwhile noting that the war in the Pacific was even more savage (not including the concentration camps – just the battles).

I’m sure that there are more than a few Chinese that were glad to see the Japs lose. After all, they were a bit of fun for the Japs who liked to cut off their heads in competitions. They also starved, and raped hundreds of thousands (if not millions) with their “local provisioning” policy.

War is a horrible thing. Japan needed to be stopped, but as always, there were some additional factors that entered into the dropping of the bombs. One of the lesser-known is that the US needed to demonstrate the bomb’s power to Russia in order to prevent a European power-play. The whole thing is pretty disgusting, but I’m not sure how the world would look today were it not done. It would certainly be different.

I had a relative who was a “guest” of the Japanese for almost a decade. They were not nice hosts.

how about British bombers “murdering” innocent Germans…any pity there from the British, a people who, as near as I can tell, all wear turbans and are now named “Ali?”

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The Irish are wankers
And the Welsh are too

There was a little Jap
Who took a little nap
after binging all day on cheap saki

And from his bedroom
he heard a loud boom
and thought “Fuck they’ve just nuked Nagasaki”
