“Strange world, isn’t it?”
Yes it is! Thanks for the story, as I’ve seen the footage on documentaries of the children and women training with sticks, but you never know how widespread it really was. (Japanese propoganda?).
What is so great is that the U.S. and Japan, Germany and to a certain extent Russia are allies and friends now. Compare that to the tribal clashes that go on elsewhere in the world (Middle East for example) that seem to go on for hundreds of years.
Thank you! Yes, real peace has been achieved between the US and its old adversaries. It annoys me when people take that for granted-it really is a huge achievement. It says a lot about the character of our people that we resolve what should be age-old conflict matters so easily.
