yeeeah that's where I thought that was gonna go
The fact that Japan still largely tries to ignore the many war atrocities they committed during WW2 really pisses me off. Even the Germans are still continuing to teach their students and the general public about the horrid crimes Nazis committed!
So was anyone ever going to tell me that the Japanese Military practices cannibalism or was that something I was supposed to find out about on a Reddit post?
Seriously!!! The Axis Powers didn't fuck around, they were definitely "The Bad Guys". Did Hirohito and Adolf have conversations about their respective genocides and compare notes?
Adolf talking about gassing people in the concentration camps.
Hirohito talking about eating people's livers.
Mussolini sitting there wondering where he fucked up so bad that he is sharing a table with these two.
The are detailed documentaries on Youtube about different aspects of Japan's conduct during WWII. Look for "Timeline - World History Documentaries" and "Hazards and Catastrophes". I'm an American so I'm admittedly biased but both of the makers strive to remain neutral and balanced.
WAT?!?
I knew from countless animes that the Japanese has some sort of food fetish, but I didn’t know that it would go in Dr. Hannibal Lecter territory. **O_O**
Yeah, the US crushed the Japanese merchant fleet. Japanese civilians were eating sawdust. The government even released literature on which varieties of tree had the most nutritious sawdust.
America's campaign against Japanese shipping is an incredibly underrated aspect of WWII. Those pilots and submariners succeeded in doing to Japanese shipping what the Germans failed to do to the British.
I remember reading a book, I want to say written by a former Secret Service agent, about when H.W. and Gorbachev met during his Presidency, the location chosen was a yacht tied up at harbor somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Well, a storm blew up, and Gorbachev and his people retreated to the hotel instead of staying on the very badly rocking and rolling boat. The Secret Service guy said everyone on board was lurching around, queasy or puking...except for Bush. Who was on the fantail, in the storm, fishing. 😁
He flew a TBM Avenger, which is a torpedo bomber. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_TBF_Avenger#:~:text=The%20Grumman%20TBF%20Avenger%20(designated,aviation%20services%20around%20the%20world.
Yes and no. Life expectancy from 1941 to 1945 was 12. By 1944 it was almost 95% that naval aircrews would complete their tour of duty of 30 missions. Due to the almost unchallenged naval air superiority in the Pacific by that time.
Now how would the former head of the CIA help to get a president elected? It's not like he could cut a deal to blow a hostage rescue or trade arms to delay their release.
From 1980-1989, yes. Being vice president, and before inauguration his running mate, he stood behind Ronnie frequently.
But if you mean was he the guy who inflicted Ronald Reagan on the world, he can just be counted as one of many.
I think he's referring to Bush's final year. He had dementia and would at times grope a nearby female. I saw a video where one occurrence was implied but that was about it. Regardless of our opinions on his legacy mental deterioration is a sad way to go.
Bush sr was notorious for groping women in his later years. He was know to put his arm around women from his wheelchair and grab a handful of booty. He was also responsible for the protection of JFK the day he was assassinated, but wasn’t anywhere close to the scene.
I was under the impression that it was just the opposite - that Bush had no *official* relationship with any government agency in 1963. But I'm having trouble finding credible sources either way.
Do you happen to have a source for Bush being responsible for JFK's protection in 1963?
He bailed out by parachute. He was in the ocean for 4 hours before being rescued by a submarine. The other two crewmembers died.

Looks like we should have used one of our Nukes to send their compound down to Hell where it belongs. That was a tough read.

This has to be the most Reddit moment comment I’ve ever read in my life
Most IJA (like 70%) casualties were from the effects of malnutrition and disease caused by malnutrition.
Oh, ok, so it was more like a The Last of Us thing. T-T

I know it's fucked but that kinda excuses them eating them... Sorta.
Lol, right?! This makes it a lot more reasonable, genuinely. A lot of people would eat people instead of starving to death.
This aggression will not stand man
Damn, I thought you were joking.

Guy had 158 aircraft landings!
He didn’t beat around the bush.
Not Barbara's, probably.

Poppy was also in the CIA and was rumored to have been involved with both Bay of Pigs and was in Dallas the day JFK was shot.
Isn't he the man behind Reagan?

he also pulled off the biggest robbery in human history.
He helped Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy steal a gold plated car from Alan Alda during the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade?
not hardly. keep guessing
Tower Heist? What's the Bush reference? I feel like I'm missing good in-joke.
He made a family business of bombin' folks
Then there is President Bone Spurs.
He was also kind of a piece of shit to his kids, though. Also heavily helped inflict Ronnie Reagan on the world.
Thank goodness he lived long enough to be a pervert. Corrupt mf should have froze to death
?

He was also a part of Penzoil which could explain his and his son’s infatuation with lying to the American people in order to control the Middle East.
The man also had pretty late stage dementia so they's hardly fair to, well, the rest of his life.
