Hello, mighty. Welcome to this once brilliant but now debased board. The financial information and general good cheer, especially the light mood in face of crisis set by Jay Chen, is gone. He hasn't posted recently, and I can't say I blame him. Shame, really.

I know people whose fathers were ready to invade Japan unless it surrendered. There would have been a terrible loss of lives, both US and Japanese, if that had happened. As it is, only Japanese lost their lives. Our boys had been fighting for a long time in a war they didn't start. I am glad those men came home. I regret that the Japanese military refused to surrender sooner. Those Japanese people would not have been killed. First country to use nerve gas on civilians: Japan - on Chinese civilians. Tested on POWs. (I am not counting mustard gas, that was the Germans in WWII.) The Japanese also spread plague against the Chinese. Nice people.

Yeah right, tell me how many civilians can Japanese kill in the August of 1945 other than Japanese themselves? Gees don't even go there duh! How many innocent lives were lost to the Japanese by China in the 30's ....because Japan needed some resources .....No one group is innocent..... individuals yes but no group. I don't understand ? what should the Americans have done ? Try and starve them out ? A slow excruciating decline in Japan ? OR Land an assault force and take the country inch by inch at what cost then on both sides ? OR We'll go home now and wait for you to call again... ..............
