Re: Iwo Jima

Yep - today's reporters would have been in there boots and all...<br /><br />"WWII - America Over-Reacts to Pearl Harbour"<br /><br />"American agression against Germany - they never attacked us"<br /><br /><br />...sorry, couldn't resist adding a couple.

Re: Iwo Jima

Jan Z, What a great presentation. One I will keep. We are in a different time and a different kind of enemy. WWII we knew who the enemy were, where they were and what we had to do to win, with the victory identifiable when we got there.<br /><br />Today we do not know who the enemy are, certainly not where they are, and how to win and knowing when we when are much in the air.<br /><br />Iwo has always been a special battle for me and we fought it against the japs many times in my backyard as a kid. We kicked their butts every time. My Dad had first hand stories on it as he piloted one of the landing craft that was hit and he was wounded. Dad was 17yr. old in the navy. Although always a tough guy in my eyes he always spoke of how courages those marines going ashore were and was quite in aw of their bravery.

Glad you all liked it, being a former Marine it really hit me viewing those pictures.<br /><br />My dad, now 88 was at Pearl, he always said he was one of the lucky ones, when he talked about it.

Yup..My front door also blocks it...but i think i have seen this before. I'll try to dig it up, and C&P the story here after werk.<br />If it is the same thing, it really holds our paper-thin media enemy up to the light.<br />In the meantime, i would urge caution to those who do not have up-to-date spyware protection to not click the link provided.....there IS something (dunno what) wrong with it.
