I wasn't around then, but I am sorry I missed it.

Yeah Carlin got pretty mad when Smitty started calling him Hanoi Dan Fonda. Lmao
yeah, Hanoi Dan was the bridge too far, that's when he freaked out, started flailing

thing was tho, he kept invoking soldiers as his allies against me

he kept saying soldiers agree with him

all I said was, I don't think so, I bet I know soldiers better than you

that's when he asked me to leave the forum

It is an easier choice to make if you believe the Americans are going to treat prisoners the way your country does.
What's crazy is we pretty much let the Japs off the hook for War Crimes. Hell, the modern pussies got us apologizing for destroying the Evil bastards.
Well, vigorous self-criticism is one of the features of the European enlightenment that makes it a superior way of viewing the world.
Self criticism is fine, but you don't leave out the brutal nature of the enemy that factored into the decision making process of the men dealing with that enemy.

GIs on the ground shot Japs that appeared dead for a very good reason.

We didn't want to the soviets to get the bioweapons research.

Which brings me to the next point. I am curious why that never got brought up in the show, Logical Insanity or in the new one he's working on. They made weapons to spread plague and a dozen other diseases and had plans to use them against China, Europe, and the US. It's not like Unit 731 was some vague research project. The Japanese were bent on killing everyone and demonstrated they had zero qualms about doing it. If anyone ever needed to be destroyed it was the Japanese in WW2.

America not winning wars has everything to do with not declaring actual wars. They’re ‘police actions’ - by definition, a half-assed attempt at a vague, unachievable goal.

Without taking back the War Powers, and going whole hog, we’ll never win a ‘conflict’.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

Supernova of the East has been Carlin’s best series yet, IMO
I listened to the first couple of installments while staining a fence, so I was a little distracted. I should start it over and listen more closely.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

at the end of the day I was highly influenced by DBTrek

DBTrek was the first to call out the Woke on the forum, DB was fighting the Woke before they even had a name

that's why I joined the the forum, to fight alongside him

Gladwell is a conflicted Wokester. I like his stories but they’re very formulaistic (Jewish PBS), and his insights are shallow. He’s more showman than intellect. Like Dan.
What am I like? Neither showman nor intellectual lol
You're a sincere dweeb who talks about things that I coincidently find interesting; probably because I'm a sincere dweeb.

Good thing the Japanese were destroyed when they were. Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night was set for September. It's too bad that half a million Chinese were killed with anthrax, cholera and plague and more before it happened.

exactly, that's how Woke works

America presented as the ultimate White Supremacist state

when in fact America was the first nation in the history of the world to go to war against slavery

America destroyed the wicked slave owners, burned them into the stone age

but only in sheer desperation, after the bloodiest day in American history at Antietam Creek
