It was the last war which the US fought to win.At times I believe that we as a nation have forgotten and take for granted what the greatest generation fought to preserve.
Probably canceled by todays rocket scientists.At times I believe that we as a nation have forgotten and take for granted what the greatest generation fought to preserve.
Today’s cancel culture gives no honor to anything that has happened in the past. It is all about “me” and “now” without thought of what happened to allow “me” and “now” to happen.At times I believe that we as a nation have forgotten and take for granted what the greatest generation fought to preserve.
Freedom without responsibility is not freedom.Today’s cancel culture gives no honor to anything that has happened in the past. It is all about “me” and “now” without thought of what happened to allow “me” and “now” to happen.
Truly, they were the greatest generation.
The death toll from that war for Americans alone is staggering.
Maybe they thought the US would act like the Confederacy thought the Union would 81 years prior. Put up a good front in the beginning, the US would soon tire, and sign a peace treaty.Jap's poked the wrong Dog.

The media is the root to all of our problems.
I may have posted this on a previous thread, but in late June 2016, my wife and I spent a couple of days in Niagara Falls, ON. While there, we encountered many people of different ethnicities quietly enjoying one of nature's wonders: Muslims, Asians, Africans, Hasidic Jews, Plain People (Amish, Mennonites, etc.), Europeans, etc.While I’m out everyday, whether at work or in a public place, all I see is people from different backgrounds going about their business with no conflict. The media only spotlights the conflicts to try and create this so called division. Meanwhile, we go about our lives. Are there bad people in this country who don’t respect others? Yes, but it is very few compared to the total population. The media is the root to all of our problems.

There's hope.
$2.50 was a lot of $$$ back then. Worked for 70 years? Impressive.My Dad joined the Navy in October of 1941, but hadn't reported yet as they were letting him graduate college in December before reporting to officer's school. He became one of the "90 day wonders" officers and was sent to Pearl Harbor to join his ship (minesweeper) in April of 1942. Oil was still thick on the surface of the harbor and several Battleships had not been raised yet. He bought a wind up watch for $2.50 at the commissary that he wore the whole war. It finally quit working about 2010. That and a piston from a Japanese Zero that was shot down at the battle of Okinawa are my prized possessions.
Somebody payed attention to how it was done wrong following WWI.Truly humbling the sacrifices made by that generation. And remarkable how Americans of every region, color, and creed came together for a common cause.
Also amazing how our leadership - military, political, and economic - decided to rebuild Japan and Germany (really all of Europe) rather than punish their people. The US (rightly) viewed itself as a bastion of democracy and as having a responsibility to spread freedom and prosperity. People at that time were proud that America was the leader of the free world and not ashamed of it.
You wanted to show General Tojo in Japan more respect?Somebody payed attention to how it was done wrong following WWI.
I think a major part of the problem with America's leadership in world affairs is thinking that we know better about a free society than anybody else, and don't show other countries the respect we need to.
No - I mean today, not 1940.You wanted to show General Tojo in Japan more respect?
