Your post is correct and it great to see someone that knows the subject, except that the "flying wing" was first successfully developed and flown by Hill in the 1920's. Developed further in the late 20's when he teamed with John Dunne and built by the Westland Aircraft co. as the Pterodactyl. Whi...

Your point is well taken, but you must remember that the Japanese gov't "called down the thunder". Stonewall and I speak of respect for the Japanese soldier. The soldier didn't start the war or make the policies, they fought just like any other soldier and they fought well. While many committed a...

WOW! Really showing your brain power here. Again, is this the best you got? Plainly obvious you are just a troll, looking for a one sided fight. C ya later loser.

After following your post on various vids you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

No he did not. The entire Sendai Division numbered 2945 effectives for the assault. I take nothing away from the actions of Sgt Basilone (Ooorah) and you would be a fool to think that Basilone's guns were the only troops on the ridge. Do me a favor and search "Battle for Henderson Field" and read...

Very true. Comparing the two is really just silly, but the original poster of this comparison needed a little educating. And poor old Alporpoise.....he's just lost as last years Easter eggs.

Still want to know if you want to test your theory....one on one. Ya that's what I thought. Try learning something then come back.

Ha! A new ship....means we Marines wouldn't have to scrub that thing down both fore and aft. Thank you for your service in building our "Taxi". I did three Med floats, two on LSTs and one on an LSD. I would love to know how the New York rides compared to an LST. Piping designer....WOW! How do yo...

Same same there Marine. Three Med floats, two on LSTs, one on LSD. Big respect for the Navy crews. And let's not forget our best friends....Navy Corpsman.

Semper Fi !

See now... a good discussion and your posts are getting better. This one is EXACTLY right.

Bully for you....a Brit SEAL hahahaha. I like that one, but the astronaut and NPW puts you really out there. Yep, many say they are Marines or whatever, I assure you I did my time in the Corps.

Not sure where you are from but most homicides are a conscious decision to take a life. Your points are valid other than we can't be sure about the civilian thing. The vast majority hate killing and the ones that piss on a dead enemy....well there is a special place for them. There is NEVER a rea...

Sure and thank you for the interest. First search "Mission summaries 20th Air Force". Also, the book B-29s over Japan is pretty good, also search B29.org and read "Majeski's Memoirs". Also info can be found at the official 20th Air Force site.

Hope this helps.

And the Armed Forces are sooooooo grateful for your respect and acknowledgement!

Happy Memorial Day to you!

Semper Fi !

Hmmm.... seems like this was already settled. The "lazy and sluggish" Americans decimated the Chinese 9th Army at the Chosin Resevoir. Funny huh?

con't..... We will con't to lose troops there and we will never change them, they will have to change themselves. Even we Marines won't ever beat them, they are just a very different and primitive society. Rudyard Kipling said it best in Gunga Din: "When you find yourself wounded on Afghanistan's...

Nice try troll....you gotta do better than that. "American terrorism.....what an ass you are.

You debate with a rock. J'Turd has military and historical knowledge sourced from Wiki only. He doesn't have a clue. His failure to understand the military targets alone in Hiroshima and Nagasaki made them viable targets. He also fails to know that the fire bombing of Tokyo resulted in more civil...

Great question, a good challenge. Research shows that the 504th Heavy Tank Battalion was sent to Africa in March of '43 with the first company arriving on the 12th of March. This company was destroyed and surrendered on May 12. The second company of nine Tigers stayed on Sicily and fought the inv...
