really, i bet the men at singapore and the battan have other things to say about Japanese troops. Even the US marine corps in later campaigns had given Japanese soldiers reluctant credit when it came to cunning and stealth that they were known for. P40 Warhawk and F4F Wildcat pilots also had a lot of respect and fear for Zero pilots. Ignorance towards asian people like that is going to cost us when the ChiCom's hit our beaches.

You are wrong man. The Japs got USA into the war. The bullshit you state above is nonsense, and even if there was such a stoopid plan I think you give FDR a bit more credit than he deserve, if you think he would be able to pull that off. But people like you are usually not interested in the truth anyway.
Asian American?? You a Jap?

Yea, there was someone who did crack the Nip code that is true, but he was unable to convince the right people of what was coming before it was a bit too late. Thats the way it always is. You tell us to wake up. Well I'm wide awake, or at least enough to see through your bullshit. Who the f... are you anyway. You another Jap who can't face your own history? Ever heard of Nanking? If you have I guess you are among those who discard it as fiction..

It takes a stupid person to be glad for that, but if you say they had it coming, id agree.

You are an idiot. ... ( 1 month ago by saror71)

You are an idiot. The only reason the us troops beat the germans, was their superiority in numbers, and the fact that they had air superiority. The gremans had better weapons, superior leadership, veteran troops against green us troops, and if you did care to read some history, you would find that the us troops got their asses whupped alongside the british and canadians each time they fought on anything like equal terms. Exeption is the Bulge, but by then the germans was spent.

The ROOT CAUSE of ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

The ROOT CAUSE of all this pissing and moaning you are all doing up to right now today is... WHITE AMERICA!!
Yup, you heard me. And not just The Battle of Okinawa... I am talking about EVERYTHING pissed and moaned about Japan from February 3, 1868, to August 15, 1945. Go ahead... piss and moan some more... demonstrate and prove to the rest of us just how IGNORANT you are. Then, read my next post on ex
actly WHY that is.

For 253 years, from ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

For 253 years, from 1600 to 1853, Japan was in Self-Imposed ISOLATION from the rest of the World, bothering noone.
There were no invasions, no wars, noone died, and there was Peach and Order in Japan during this time... until July 8, 1853, when US NAVY Commodore Mathew Perry, under orders from US President Millard Fillmore, arrived in Tokyo Bay with demands to OPEN UP FOR TRADE... "OR ELSE!!" Greedy and sel
fish WHITE AMERICAN BUSINESSMEN were behind this GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY.

With visions of ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

With visions of making tons of money, US MILITARY power was used to HUMILIATE and FORCE Japan to "OPEN FOR TRADE", with America. Unable to stop Perry, Japan had to say "YES!!!"
There was a massive upheaval in Japan over this, causing an Internal Civil War, assassination of the (then) Emperor Komei, and led to the MEIJI RESTORATION Mondernization of Japan, starting on February 3, 1868, and emergence of... "THE IJE (IMPERIAL JAPANESE EMPIRE)" fully capable of destroying
other Nations.

And did. Japan had ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

And did. Japan had been forced to "JOINED THE CLUB" of Royal Imperial Colonial Powers, complete with MODERN WAR MACHINES.
Japan's Admiral TOGO (not TOJO) sank the entire RUSSIAN BALTIC FLEET at the Battle of Tsushima Straits... the first time EVER that an ASIAN Nation had KICKED THE ASS of a WHITE NATION!!! Imagine that... lol!!! And it goes on from there... NONE of which would have happened if WHITE AMERICA had ju
st LEFT JAPAN ALONE! But, oh no... USA forces IJE to emerge!!

Japan was not ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

Japan was not ignorant of what WHITE EUROPEAN MILITARY POWERS were doing to CHINA, and not wanting to be "THE NEXT CHINA", proceeded to Modernize the Japanese MILITARY completely... particularly the IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy), which Japan chose the ENGLISH NAVY as it's Model for Naval Military Training and Operations, and Source of BATTLESHIP's.
In ONE GENERATION, Japan became the World's first Asian IMPERIAL MILITARY SUPERPOWER!!!! And proceeded to ACT LIKE ONE!!!!

I could go on and ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

I could go on and on and on about all the usual things you already know, but my point is you are pissing and moaning, and "barking up the wrong tree"... you really should be hounding WHITE AMERICA for starting the whole thing off way back in 1853 IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!! And stop being IGNORANT... duh... lol!!! aa68

BTW, on a related, ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

BTW, on a related, but different matter, the USA stole (actually photographed the IJN Naval Attache's copy of in his Washington DC apartment, while he was away being entertained by an "interesting woman" provided by the US Government) Japan's Diplomatic Codes back in 1920, and were able to read Tokyo's position on the Washington Naval Conference of 1921, and outmaneuver Japan (by cheating) as a result.
The USA has been intercepting, decoding, and reading Japan's Coded Messages ever since.

EVERYTHING was ... ( 1 month ago by AsianAmerican68)

EVERYTHING was known before, during, and after WWII about Japan's Military and Diplomatic Messages, including the Attack on PH.
Read it yourself... "COMBINED FLEET DECODED -- THE SECRET HISTORY OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE AND THE JAPANESE NAVY IN WORLD WAR II" by John Prados It is a real eye-opener, because he got access to tons of finally declassified NSA papers, logs, and actual documents of the Japanese and American Mili
tary before and during WWII... including this one... OKINAWA.
