Re: Photo Aftermath from WWII
Wow...thanks for the link.
In his first inaugural address in 1801, Jefferson said:
" a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
Sadly Murray Rothbard states in For A New Liberty, "By far the overwhelming portion of all enslavement and murder in the history of the world have come from the hands of government."
Ours has its problems but I still think is the best one out there. Fortunately they have the best men in uniform to protect them/us.

Re: Photo Aftermath from WWII
Thank you!
To paraphrase either R.E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson(I can't remember which), "It is good that war is so terrible, lest we grow too fond of it."

Those pictures are great, but the last one is amazing, 29 years after the end of the war, he was still fighting.

Can anyone even imagine/perceive the thoughts in his head? I mean, if this is legit, then he must have been in some remote area/place. How much of the world around him had changed? We've heard of/watched movies of this happening to convicts, but this guy was for real.
I just find the concept interesting, is all. As for the 'enemy' concept though, both Pacific and European,,,, I've no pity, remorse, care, concern or regard for "them". Way too many got off easy. Add to that, the collective 'we' should never have to apologize for defending ourselves and our brethren.

Photo 45 at the bottom is the really impressive one. 29 years of dedication in that Japanese soldier. That's Impressive.

Re: Photo Aftermath from WWII
I saw this link on another website last week. I, too, was impressed with the story of Hiroo Onoda and Teruo Nakamura. I remember as a kid hearing about the Japanese soldiers being discovered, but I had not ever looked into the story.
Nice link.

Re: Photo Aftermath from WWII
The photo with Patton only gives part of the story, saying he recommended Nazi's for positions. He actually wanted to start War with Russia and use what was left of a captured Nazi Forces , armor, and technology to help. His point was we where going to have to fight them anyway soon or later. We was relieved from command for political reasons, after all we didn't want to upset the Russians. Patton could have prevented the Cold War, Russian Nuke technology, The Korean War, Vietnam, AK-47's, Communism, and kept the middle east from becoming a threat that it is today thanks to Russia and the USA, Or lost a costly campaign and a lot of men against Russia if they would have let him go ahead. I doubt the last.
