(Ep. 7) The Americans Took Hold Of Truk Island We Are Losing 

👍

I thought Patton said that.

Well, plenty of Americans died for their country also.

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.

Thank you, Gen Patton!

Quantity has a quality all its own. --often used to describe the WWII Russian military

Exactly, and the Nazis also felt that resolve of the American 🇺🇸 people 🫡

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

That was then.

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!

The USA understood negotiation. But it was not going to happen with Pearl Harbor still in the minds of the nation.

Well I would say the fact that the Emperor got away without trial was a compromise

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.

I do not agree with you. While there is no video, I learned a lot.

It is basically a pirated audiobook of someone's work. I have listened to them while driving for about a year now and recognize a few that I had read. To each his own.

The narrator is not a person. It’s AI.

@@KarenBryant-qv9nm yes, but AI needs to be refined and corrected if it is to be better.
