In his case, the war in Europe was already over when he entered Navy pilot’s school, so it was the war against Japan that most made an impression on him. But your point is well taken.

And they were forbidden to eat fried chicken or watermelon on September 22, of sad and infamous memory.

A fact escaping the serviceless Eric is that an army marches on its stomach and NEVER turns it’s back on food.

Don’t forget that we RECRUITED and TRAINED a young man called Ho Chi Minh to expel the Vichy-French and the Japanese from Indo-China (which the British had repeatedly failed to accomplish.)
He did so brilliantly, and when he came back to the Americans with a copy of a Constitution based on our own, we arrested him and turned him over to the French who had reneged on their promise of an independent Vietnam in return for his actions.
This pushed him into the arms of the Soviets and the rest is history.

Does he mark Independence Day (July 4th) by refusing to speak English?
He is stupid enough to do that you know.

Because they all look the same, eh Erick? My dad fought in WW2. He was a conservative Republican. He took me to Nippon in Midtown for my first sushi when I was in junior high. On the drive into the city (in our '64 Thunderbird) he taught me to say “Domo arigato” when served.

The difference being one, Germans, are white while the other, Japanese, are those little yellow bastards trying to make themselves equal to their superiors. One reason why I believe the war in the Pacific was as vicious as it was.

And on Sept 11 Erick likes to eat Saudi and Egyptian food.
To this very day Erickson’s parents are very clear - “No Armistice, No Korean BBQ”

Agree, so many chicken hawks seem to forget that fact and the many other examples our enlightened State Department and CIA/OSS encouraged over the years.
Honda didn’t even start as a car company until after the war. Audi started before and worked right through it.
