    Our president doesn't mention D-Day but honors Juneteenth??

    In my opinion, D-Day is the most important day in WORLD history and no one here seems to give a fuck about it.
    I'd argue that it was the Soviet defeat of the Nazi armies in the Battle of Stalingrad. That and the loss of the Battle of Britain (air campaign) by the Luftwaffe. Both weren't the end of the war, but they were the turning point and the end result was now inevitable.

    Why does the Battle of Midway or Iwo Jima get no love? East Coast Bias? Most likely.

    Well, Fuck that Shit. My dad and all my uncles fought in the Pacific, including Guadalcanal. 3 of 4 came home. 1 is on Final Patrol lost somewhere around the Luzon Strait. Only recently did I learn that my dad's younger brother drove landing craft at Guadalcanal or Iwo Jima, directly into the hailstorm of Japanese machine gun fire, over and over and over again. The Balls on the Boys in the Pacific were as big or bigger than anybody's at Normandy, but Steven Ambrose and Tom Brokaw poured all their ink into the European battles, as though Japan was just a mosquito.

    Fuck both of those Guys, too.

    Japanese treatment of prisoners would make Hitler blush. Cannibalism, experimental surgery, and rape of entire villages throughout Korea and China.

    Japan was the Oppression World Champion until WWII.
