If you want to get in the dirt venture over to the UV forum and join Ike99 for some fun in the bombing thread. What started as questions about the strategic bombing and A bombs has visted Perry's visit to Japan almost 100 years earlier. It's ...

Add it to the list of things that shall not be discussed.  Every topic over this film seems to end in name-calling and abuse [:-]

I was participating in the thread. There was no abuse that I recall.

See subject. Q. for moderators.

If you want to tell a story to the end, then it needs to be through the eyes of someone who was there to the end. That's not "Hollywood Horshsh-t", that's just drama.<br/>

Er, comparing the Rape of Nanking to the Battle of Berlin is not valid.

No, but comparing it to the follow-on Rape of Berlin is.

I somewhat agree with your opinion too, to a point.<br/>

Every nation has miscreants in their population, and every nation has had dark chapters. I think that is a given.<br/>

However, I also think it is intellectually lazy to ...

A patrol zone is set south of Wake. This was done by clicking on hexes for Patrol Boundaries 1 and 2. A third is available but was not used. <br/>

A day has passed and Triton has reached the first patrol zone boundary. Since the linger option was set (at one day) she will remain here until the 9th, then move toward the next patrol zone boundary. <br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was speaking of the 1894-1895 Sino-Japanese war. A blue-print for taking advantage of a situation and obtaining territory with little international repercussions . . . very similar to the S-A war. I disagreed with your characterization of ...

Do you agree that the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War led directly to Japan's efforts in the 1920s and 1930s that led to Nanking, Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima? Many historians more ...

The goal of the game is not to conquer the Home Islands but to defeat Japan. Any invasion of Japan will fail if the Allies don't have air superiority. Invading Japan now would only lead to a major deafeat. Otherwise you're correct, India is a sideshow. But ...

If an event is directly related it's relevant. Directly is an admittedly subjective term, but for the comparison Nanking could be argued to be directly related to the US-Japan part of WW2 because the PH attack was part of an effort to ...
