What defeated the japs?

[Imowface]

Yes, in fact the Soviets didn't declare war on Japan until near the end of the war, and through most of the war seemed as if they didn't want to anger the Japanese.

we didnt care about the japanese, we had bigger stuff on our plate then that, and we had been fighting them for years before the GPW, we didnt renew our non agression pact with them because the US asked us for help in china

The Japanese decided to tackle the USA INSTEAD of the USSR, which was probably a big mistake. After all, the Russians learned of this through the spy Sorge, and that saved Moscow in 1941, - the fine eastern troops under Zhukov could rush westwards from their guard, resting sure that the Japs would not just walk in.
It was never in the interest of the USSR to have two fronts.

The Treaty or Portsmouth 30 years earlier factually states otherwise.    We wouldn't want to forget the "Purge" either.

The Marine is only useful with his rifle. and an M1 with a full clip of 30.6 will put a stop to a Japanese soldier's antics.

Marine armament within a platoon would be:
M1
Carbine
BAR
Tompson
Flame-thrower(s)
Grenades
Colt 45's
Explosives

A medic and a radio operator or two.

All on board one LVT....or Higgins boat. BTW, Japanese snipers would focus on the medics and the BAR guys.

[dedalos]

Marines.

Yep

I don't think the Jewish population of Europe or the Chinese citizens (particularly in Nanking) would feel the same way.

I feel you are very wrong on that issue.

I met a Marine that had the unfortunate duty to BBQ a lot of Koreans in the Korean War.  He is so traumatized of what he did that anything that is Asia (food, people, movies, book ect.) and breaks down or goes a little crazy.

with the increasing number of Japanese players in this game and supporting it financially, especially in the off hours arena, I find the title of this thread offensive.  

Please refrain from using it, use JP or bother to take the 2 seconds to type the whole word.

I appreciate it was in common use during the war but it is 2011.

Thanks
