Why don't you suggest the next film be CaddyShack as it will be an equally accurate and correct representation of a golf country club.

Kind of like speaking out against the use if inaccurate information, and outing a CIA agent spouse in a fit of revenge.

You're beginning to bore me.

red bottom... please explain... Are you saying that if you do not agree, in an outspoken way, with teachers lefty views you WILL make it through the system?

It may happen but it would take a very strong person to get through that. Much easier to just smile and listen to their crap.

And... If I am just now beggining to bore you then I guess I am doing ok considering that you hang on my every post.

Most commanders thought the war would be finished by Autumn without the need for an invasion.

Up until 1998 you could have told this to my Grandfather who fought on Guam, Okinawa and until Feb 1946 in the Occupation of China, and he would have either have gotten mad (he still never ever cussed), or laughed. News flash, the Japanese didn't care about "Hirohito's surrender". They were still shooting GI's, Chinese, etc. The Japanese were waffling on the terms of surrender, they called a bluff, and well. My grandfather nor were his fellow Marines tickled pink over the thought of an Amphibious Assault on Yokohama Bay.

You can believe whatever version of history you want to believe, but reading only one version will not likely lead you to understanding anything closer to the truth. The "truth" is never certain because war is politics gone mad, and politics is war, a part of war, and a part of the stories we call history.

Between the many books and what my grandfather experienced, I have a grasp on what happened.

Today: I walked up to him and kicked him in the junk...

Oh wait..I dreamed that while the class was drooling over micheal moore's amazing facts.

Thanks BGBMAW, I dont even bother anymore. My first few conflicts with him were enough for me. Knowing he spent his time off looking for material to use aganst one of his students is enough for me.

Some were, though not even close to being a majority.

The key to the nuclear bombs going off was not the killing of thousands of people, but what the emperor did.

Up until that point the emperor was a god, literally. He was thought to be the son of the gods. His word reigned supreme. You did what he said. Or you were dishonored and killed yourself because of it. No one spoke to the emperor except the extremely close advisors.

What the bombs did was make the Emperor come out of his palace and address the nation on the radio. The emperor had to tell the nation that he was not a god, and that fighting the war was not worth the lives of anymore japanese.

The closest analogy I can think of would be if Jesus Christ was alive today. Imagine that he goes about preaching, doing miracles and claiming to be the son of god. Then one day he goes on TV and admits that he is not the son of god, and it is not worth it to follow his teachings.

You would be stupefied to the point of inaction.
