History is nothing less than history!!! Shit happens!! My Father was a Marine in the Korean war!! He would talk about his days at the Chosin and Inchon to name a few!! These were not easy battles in fact they were some of the more fierce battles in the war!!! If he would have been giving orders to shoot, I gaurantee you he shot!!! It was a matter of survival!!! How dare someone come around 50 years later and try to change history!!! Try to make hero's like my Father the culprit!!! War is not something one desires, unless you are Hitler or Usama!!!! War is a given from the beginning of time!!! Some people fight in these wars because they feel it is just, others are forced into war because of drafts or just because it happens in their homeland!!!

Nobody wants innocent people or soldiers for that matter to die, it just happens!!! I took my daughter to Hawaii in 2000!! I promised her I would show her where she was born when she turned 16!!! The Pearl Harbor Memorial site used to show a film that brought tears to the eyes of everyone!!! When you went out on the memorial everyone was silent!! Kind of in Awe!!! Today, they show a piss poor documentary and Ranger's out on the memorial have to remind people that this is a memorial and that they should stay silent to show their respect for the dead below!!

Want to know what changed???? It wasn't history!!! The memorial looks the same!! It was the Japanese with the help of the PC to make them not look like bad guys!!! That's right!!! Us Americans should take the blame for everything, rebuild everything, pay retribution to, and kiss others asses!!! Well this American is just not willing to do so!!! My ancestors help fight for this nation!!! My ancestors owned slaves, while another part of my ancestors help build the underground railroad during the Civil War!!! My family served in the War of 1812, the Civil war, WWI, WWII (one ancestor being taken prisoner of war and tortured prior to Dec 7, 1942)!!! We have had family in the Korean War, Viet Nam War, Gulf War, Somolia, and yes, today in this war!!!

So you see, Paul, I have nothing but respect for my family and others!! We owe NOBODY NOthing!!! We have earned the right to keep our freedom!!! ;o>
