Yes, that would be typical of you. You seem to collect grudges like other people collect postage stamps. LOL! I guess it would be too much of an...
Let's get something straight Kruska. I don't give a damn about your military service; I've seen plenty of death in a war zone and experienced the...
I certainly agree with you, but I have a couple of questions. Are you sure it was a 70 MM cannon? Several years ago, before Fort MacArthur was...
Lighten up, Brad. Exactly what part of; "I believe the mods are reviewing this thread very carefully. BTW, I thought your "moral outrage" was...
I believe the mods are reviewing this thread very carefully. BTW, I thought your "moral outrage" was preventing you from further participation...
Yes, "handful of civilians". The Japanese Government in April, 1945, instituted the National Volunteer Defense measure, which essentially...
IF a CVL or CVE were available. True, the Ranger did perform as a fleet carrier in both operations, and was valuable in the Atlantic for the...
I do not dispute Hiyo and Junyo's aircraft capacity, displacement, nor the intention in building them. All of those criteria would arguably make...
Hmmm.... Let's see, you're comparing the Pearl Harbor attack force of 6 CV's 2 BB's 2 CA's 1 CL 13 DD's to the force you proposed to "roam"...

That's a rather strange question. Why would the US give military aid to country that it wanted to be weakened? The US stayed out of the war until...
I should think that would be obvious, especially to someone with your screen name. The Soviets ran a closed information system; the press was...
Well, it's apparent that Frank doesn't cull out that data that argues against his position, as some "historians" do. Of course, it's "his"...
Apparently, that is NOT what some people are assuming, although I can't see how such a position can logically be argued.
False analogy, as usual. Good-bye, Kruska.
Your sarcasm would be a lot more effective if you knew what you were talking about. What Ickysdad is trying to tell you, is that the 1945 Fall...
The US did forward terms prior to dropping the bomb; They were included in the Potsdam Declaration which also warned of the destruction of Japan...
