Thanks, WhiskeyX.
To watch later.
I've started watching and it is extremely interesting
bump for later
Difference between WWII Japanese Troops & ISIS
NOTHING!!!
The Japs were pretty infamous for fighting to the last man in many battles.
I doubt ISIS is anywhere near that tough.
For later thanks.
Later
I'll not comment until I've seen the entire documentary but YOUR comment is no less valid.
Yeah, the ISIS creeps couldn’t hold a candle to the ferocity of Imperial Japanese troops.
Wow! Great find! Thanks!

They changed to an economic war - and won.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting.
Those ISIS pigs appear to be about as tough as a mashed potato sandwich.
After all, how tough do you have to be to rape young girls and kill unarmed Christians?
Don’t think ISIS has yet fought a real army with the exception of the Kurds, and the Kurds have kicked their butts each time they’ve engaged. The Japanese on the other hand defeated, sometimes easily, some of the strongest, most modern armies and navies of the time.

This is very fascinating considering that no more than 70 years before that they were living in the “Japanese Feudal Era” that pretty much remained the same from 1200 - 1860.
They went from bronze age to industrial age in about 30-50 years....
I think in some ways all that accelerated growth went to their heads collectively.
You gotta give them credit for embracing technological advancement so quickly, they are a clever people.
Sadly their cultural advancement couldn’t keep up and it lead to them deciding that they could conquer the entire pacific ocean area, only to get a good old fashioned atomic wedgie humbling by us Yanks.

ONE thing you can say about the Japanese, while they were a bunch of dirt-bags when it came to raping and pillaging in foreign lands, they did treat their own women at home a million times better than the scumbag ISIS jihadis do.
I scanned the video and didn’t see any DOMESTIC japanese women in burquas or being mistreated.
note to self..watch instead of Meet the Press
