    Pittsburgh loves Geno. Fans were endeared to his parents showing up ror his hat trick game vs Canes. Good hockey people. Geno loves to score, physical and skilled, he has a beast mode ala McKinnon. Quite the resume. Thanks Geno.

    “The job of the American soldier is not to die for his country, but instead, make the other poor sob die for his.” Truer words were never spoken and Japans leadership became that “poor sob”.

      It sounds as though the Kamikaze attack method was a reasonable tactic for the Japanese to use against an enemy that was invulnerable against any other available weapon or tactic.
      And Kamikaze attacks did hurt the US Navy. But not enough to defeat the US Navy.
      The Japanese military were even decent enough to largely use volunteers for these missions, although apparently tactics were used that made it hard for people to refuse.

    The tenacity, ingenuity, and resolve of the American people is often underestimated. The Japenese Empire totally screwed up when they attacked the U.S. We are often slow to get angry, but when we do we are determined and can be without mercy if provoked. The military leaders had their heads up their rear ends at best. I feel the religous ferver and lack of civilian leadership cause this mess and could only end in mass destruction due to their attitudes. What goes around comes around in spades.

      That was true back in the day. These days the world wonders how far the mighty US has fallen now that they worship the temu Hitler known as Trump. Its like the US drank the cool aid. Facts become lies, lies become truth. The poor get poorer and the rich get much richer, yet the poor vote for the interests of the wealthy. Reproductive rights disappear. Political conviction now means being found guilty. A nation of immigrants starts talking of the purity of blood and demonises immigrants. The churches endorse a philandering rapist divorcee with SA convictions. Anti sematism and white supremacists are on the rise. Books are being banned. The separation of Church and State, a concept central to the constitution, is casually dismissed. Regulations that kept the air water and land healthy are dismissed as the the rules and guardians of ethical business practice. . Supreme court judges are bought and sold. They have no moral ethical or legal rigour. It's such a shame. The greatest generation was only 80 years ago.

      What was the war winning strategy was the industrial might that we brought to bear on our enemies from making typewriters to making machine guns to the automobile 🚗 industry making vehicles to making tanks and even long range bombers we were unbeatable as history has proven now everything is outsourced and pray we don't get put in this position again and our leadership lacks experience and resolve now days

      American military forces in WWII were extremely well trained and equipped. The orders they were given were nearly always sensible even in operations where we expected painful casualties. There is no reason to believe that our current political and military leaders and our soldiers are any less capable than those of the WWII era.
      In WWII our heartland was so distant from Japanese and German forces that our heartland could not be attacked. Hence our tremendous industrial capacity could operate free from enemy military intervention. This might not be true in a major war today with a peer military force. The failure of Russia to succeed in its war of agression against Ukraine indicates we have vastly overestimated the effectiveness of the Russian military. The Russians are not our peer and even China might not be. If our core national interest was threatened we and out NATO allies could be expected to win a regional war against any opponents.
      Of course, there is always the chance that any war against a nuclear armed opponent could go nuclear. Russia and China have both threatened to use nukes against the "West" . Almosty certainly they are bluffing, but it is scary nevertheless. However, if we don't call the bluff, they will expand their vile authoritarian empires at out expense and in the end we would finally have to say enough and risk nuclear war. Why not call the bluff NOW!

      In WW1 the allies negotiated surrender with Germany, but Germany came back and started WW2. So they learned that anything but complete conquering and takeover of a country just leaves them to rise again with more vengence. Conversely Japan and Germany learned the opposite from what happened in WW1 Germany, that they could just expect to surrender and go home and rebuild. The allies were having no more of that.

    The narrator keeps talking about the "B29S". There was no B29 variant "S". What he is reading is the plural of B29, as in B29s. Dumb.
