I'm afraid what you're saying is true for today. However, I'll have to check some stuff. I haven't come across any item saying Japan had a policy...
An admirable attitude which I think many of us here in the forum share. As for the question what if Japand decided not to attack China in 1937,...
I quite agree brndrt1. This was what largely motivated many Japanese to go on fighting and devoting their lives to their emperor despite...
Karma, what I called the "pacifists" in Japan consisted of prominent people who openly opposed the militarist tendencies of the Japanese...
You beat me to the Matt Helm answer. I agee with your mention of the James Bond series. Your list is a good one and Ice Station Zebra is a...
Good point raised, Karma. I agree with most of what you've said. I still think a pacifist government would have made a pro forma attempt to honor...

Thanks, Opana. I wish this was available earlier when the What-if thread on the Japanese invasion of Australia was quite active. I think this...
No real problem. Just that occassionally the scanned documents are a bit rough to the eye. On another note, I've met a few old people here who...
I was with a couple of friends discussing the naval battles off Guadalcanal when one of them told me he was not surprised that the USN received a...
Keep up the good work, Opana. Though I have to admit, your posts and links sometimes give me eyestrain. :D I recall an earlier thread describing...
Now that's one unforgettable movie for me. I remember being scared when I first saw this film. Just watched the director's cut of the Big Red One...
Good point, brndirt1. It's a horrific subject yet you were still able to provide a context for it. A few years ago, I've personally come across...
