In reviewing the responses to this thread, the general conclusion is that it would be foolhardy to reinforce the US garrison in the Philippines....
I've been looking around the local stores, even in the hole-in-the-walls shops, for the movies mentioned in this thread. However, the guys and...
Thanks for the leads. I'll be going around the malls and small shops to see if they have copies of those movies. Any other suggestions, guys?
Now that's a good question. Who's going to perform better, Manstain or Rommel? I would really look forward to learning what you guys think.
It's really about time something is done. However, I fear that when that international anti-piracy fleet is assembled, there might be bickering on...
T-100 vs the Predator? I'd side with the Predator. Now if it's the T-1000 vs. the Predator, now that's a very hard call to make. Oh, an...
Hmmm, after comparing the fork at the river with present day maps, I think the area being hit is Pandacan where the oil depot was and still is.
I think the better match up would be a Star Destroyer vs. a battlestar (from the classic series).
Viper vs. an X-wing? I hate to say this but the X-wing has the advantage. Of course, if the X-wing pilot has a very very bad day, got off the...
After reading the WWI Christmas truce post and since it's the Christmas season, I began wondering what are the good Christmas themed WWII movies....

Well said! I also agree with this idea but once in a while there's no harm in exploring other possibilities. Okay, more than once in a while when...
Well, I share JC's view. Though it's within the realm of possibility that some form of torture was used, there's no definite proof. As an aside,...
Good point for point response, DA. You highlighted the risks the US faced and the difficulties of this hypothetical Mindanao operation. You're...
If it's about suffering a humiliation, then I nominate what is known in the Philippines as La Naval de Manila. It was a series of naval battles...
Philscout, those are good pics but I just have to admit that seeing a picture of Manila being bombed gave me a bit of a disquieting moment. I'll...
Yes, I share this viewpoint too. There were indications that the Japanese were getting weary with the war in China so it's entirely within the...
John, you have a point but I agree with the others that if Mac's push doesn't work, then he would've sealed Bataan's fate sooner. However, after...
Hmmm... okay, let's assume that this scenario actually took place and the aircraft and their pilots got through and landed in Bataan. I agree...
Now that might work if there's still electricity to operate the vacuum cleaner.:D
