Ramree Isrand is barely an isrand. Even the biggest esutuarial channels dividing it from the mainland are less than 500 ft across. I shudder to think what a malaria and croc hell-hole it was in 1945(a).

Jan/Feb 1945 Operation Matador

U got Crocodile Dundee preped too, right?

As I recall from history ... Its the IJ are the ones that needs "Crocodile Dundee " .. It was the IJ defenders that realized that more LYB's would be eaten in those marshlands/swamps than killed by lead missles and concussion ...[;)]

As Rord Admirar Fabertong is off on a Budhist retreat..or is it Bokonism..oh well, doesn't matter. The point is there is a seam in the Empire's command apparatus. I think the transports are headed for Manado and it looks like the place is undergarrisoned. Ditto Ternate.

The USMC Para Bn at Namlea will drop on Manado and the 503rd at Boela will drop on Ternate. There is a RCT aboard transports to exploit if either is captured. Recon is not very good so this may not work.

Correct, but that was 1945(a) this is 1943(c). Question of learning from the past, erm i mean from the future. What if no LYB goes there but instead Spriors pongoos. Crocs dont differentiate, spam or no spam.[;)]

I see you're from Naughtyham, Sprior. I couldn't agree with you more. Here in the states corned beef and cabbage is the main staple on St. Pattie's Day. We export all our spam to Canada, they love it!

Yeah, I'm being a bit too esoteric with the jargon. In this sense, namely TV shows, "canned" means "formula" which means some dudes got together and dreamt up a show that would make money, and it went something like this:
"So, we need to make some money, dudes. What should we do?"
"Let's get a girl with big tits, she doesn't need to know how to act, and we'll add a couple of real actors who we give some lines."
"Okay, I'm cool with that, but what's the show about?"
"Well, it's about sex, but we can't actually put any sex in it because this is America and it's TV."
"Okay, I'm good with that, but why can't we have four or five girls with big tits?'"
"Well, the studio is putting us on a really tight leash as far as expenditures go."
"Sounds like a plan."[8D]

Of course Canadians love it - we resell it to M&M Enterprises who send it to the Far East. Almost as good as dog, there.

You are aware that the Chinese add melamine to it and ship it back to Canada as baby formula?

Yeah, but we caught on to that scheme so now we extract the melamine and turn it into picnic dishes and send the rest as foreign aid to various third world countries. Does our noble hearts proud!
PS - ever wonder why shipping companies are still doing well? Just follow the Spam ...

You know, here in Southern Canada we have a use for discounted melamine. You guys need to look into that.

Well, if recently the discourse stinks, that would be more my fault, not yours. I think I'll shut up now.
