I went there twice...what's the big deal? Lots of people go there. I've been to Little Big Horn and the Alamo too. Most of the Civil War sites like Gettysburg as well. My dad visited Germany after the war. Personally honoring the fallen of past wars is commendable to me
I walked the Giokusendo tunnel where all those Japanese sodiers died in Okinawa..that was a creepy ghost dance..longest tunnel on the planet at the time..I'm sure cartels have matched it from Mexico by now
He's surrendering to Emperor Hirohito. The war is over at last, MarAzul. I hope Japan rules its new American territories with wisdom and benevolence. barfo
Um, you can read a newspaper, can't you? Then find out. Or is it too much strain on the brain to, you know, be informed?
Considering that China and Russia are both acting more aggressively, that a lunatic in North Korea has a nuclear arsenal and that mad mullahs in Iran want them, it's probably not a bad thing to remind the world that even with the relatively limited technology available 70 years ago, nuclear weapons make a really devastating bang. I'm never going to be an Obama fan, but this is not a move that I have any squabble with him over. I doubt there's ever going to come a time when we don't have a nuclear arsenal (unless we actually use the damned things and bomb ourselves back to the stone age), but it's a good sentiment to try to reduce the threat of their use. I say this as a former missile launch officer who's really glad I never had to actually do the devastating part of the job I was trained for.
