Japan couldn't invade the tiniest island of the Alaskan chain up there.

Please, tell me this was a joke.  :uhoh

Congratulations on upping the ante for stupidity in this thread. In fact, you've cornered the market. The Aleutian Island chain WAS invaded, and some were held for quite some time.

Lets settle this once and for all, Somebody give this dork a few sheets of plywood, and a jig saw. Let him build a simple 12 "foot" (need to be sure he understand the units), jig. Nothing too complicated. We'll give him an hour to finish just the jig, not a whole plane.


I get to drop the one bomb on his house while he works. Lets see if he can finish just the jig   :D

Ahh, well that's looks doable.  An hour, huh?  OK, Showy get to it, Ack-Ack keeps time and Virgil throws the bomb.  He really does deserve it after all this.

I could build that jig in an hour.

What I want to know is this. The one bomb used to take out the plywood jig, is it 250lbs, 500lbs, or a 1,000lbs? That makes a huge difference you know.

Sometimes factory bombing worked,sometimes it didn't....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Yes japan did take one of those tiny little snowy islands DUH. Had nuthing on it at all, right? Was it even defended? Let me guess, 'big bad japan' killed a single eskimo familly? Nobody cared that they were even there. They couldn't even do anything from there. They didn't take pearl harbor, and they didn't take alaska either, not even two of the small islands? LOL

If you think that was an invasion, I know for a fact that the Nazi's invaded a small school in Milwauki, Wisconsin. Well, atleast 2 5th graders made a flag out of a white sheet and some red paint and some black paint, and ran it up the school's flagpole in the middle of the night, GOOD MORNING!  :uhoh
OMG THE NAZIS TOOK OVER THE WHOLE USA <--- what you fewls sound like, PATHETIC!

1 bomb would not do anything to america, period.
On the other hand, 1 (nuke) american bomb killed a whole city of theirs, twice!

SMARTY PANTS FEWLS... tell us the name of the airbase and where it was located, that kept a large percentage of Japans Airforce on Defense, for most of the war, in FEAR of their own invasion? :huh

Oh and those baloons they launced, documentary I saw said it killed a mother and 2 kids was it? At that, it didn't even explode till after the kid messed with... briliant those japans were? LOL

if the BoB is proof the spitty was better, then the Battle of Dieppe is proof the 109 was better.

This is a perfect example of why the BBS needs a squelch function. We should call it the 'anti-troll' button.

C'mon, yeah the squelching begin.
