I'm planning a post on August 9 about that fiction and the implications if the "bomb" hadn't been invested.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I've seen Victory in the Pacific - I own the tapes [uh, I also own almost every other WW II documentary series on tapes].

Pbs has been showing an excellent documentary called Victory in the Pacific. From that I learned the japanese strategy of 'kestsu-go'. Basically the plan was to turn every soldier and civilian into a kamikaze. e.g. suicide before surrender. Of course the plan was the emporer's and civilians had no say in the matter. Good stuff. I highly reccomend it.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264912815575367588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051982125491512246.post-1686177197133780842007-08-05T15:12:00.000-07:002007-08-05T15:12:00.000-07:00Flags of our fathers was good.

I thought that was an excellent flic. It's in japanese with subtitles and really shows some of the horror on that island.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264912815575367588noreply@blogger.com
