Was even worse when she took off the blonde wig!
It's got plenty of action, most of it done pretty well. What you wont get is the cheesy 80s and 90s type action film, with ninjas doing unrealistic stunts, etc. Very well done show.
One of Hitler's big mistakes was moving to bomb English cities and population centers rather than airfields.
Those based in England had it easier than others, who might have transitional camps. But as they noted here, it was more about trying to escape the mental anguish of being in mortal danger day after day.
If any pilots had it easy, might have been the American bomber crews in the Pacific, later in the war, after Japan had lost any semblance of air power.
Clearly you don't know your history, or maybe you just bought into the nazi philosophies of race.
WW2 was the ultimate example of how the British utilized every source of 'manpower' available. Minorities from their world wide colonies, all ages of both men and woman. They demanded that everyone who could contribute do so, so this is a fair example. Woke would have been women or black bomber pilots over Germany (there were women pilots who transported aircraft in the US).
Indie was also shot in the chest, not sure if he would have survived more than a few days with archaic medical treatment, his only future was likely in modern times
There's a Mifune documentary where it shows he was actually part of staff preparing kamikaze air crews. If true, that's something that would be a huge trigger for Americans, especially any who experienced the attacks.
I had a version with the Japanese subtitles, Kuroda stated there was a larger island in a specific direction.
They showed the murder first.
Makes me wonder if this was the main vehicle he was going to tell the story with, shelfed it and only kept the end. It was rather abrupt..but it also likely kept the movie from running another hour.
Or Troy surviving a branch going through his upper torso, than an episode later is walking around like it's ok
I caught that as well. Chances are it's just a fake arm that looks real.
That's nowhere near the whole picture. It also saved millions of Japanese lives. Look at what happened to Okinawa, complete destruction and loss of most human lives on the island. The same would have happened on the main islands, and Japan would have been a complete wasteland. It's tragic, but it saved untold lives on both sides, and really allowed Japan to rebuild sooner.
Compelled? Putin being power hungry, or is it paranoia because some of the nations around him want to join NATO? He's too busy playing some cold war board game to realize the world has moved on. All the talk of Ukraine being full of Nazis, etc. It's laughably tragic.
So.....just go ahead and let Russia take over a free nation, with their own freely elected government, and force them to become subservient to Putin???? Maybe get some first hand information about how all that is going? I know people who have had to flee Kiev (and still living in Poland).
Also watch the new 20 Days in Mariupol, it might help expand your horizons. Ukraine did nothing to provoke the attack, it was a mad plan to reunite the former USSR, to regain lost glory, power and influence......regardless of the millions of lives if negatively destroys or effects.
The scientist in question is where the name came from.
While several hundred Japanese died, it ultimately saved millions, not to mention the actual nation. Just imagine the barbarity and absolute destruction of Okinawa, but spread over all the Japanese islands. It would have literally knocked them back into the stone age. While physically much of Germany was destroyed, the population survived to rebuild. In Japan it would have been obscene, and ultimately set them up for a communist takeover.
I used to debate this with my grandfather, who was navy vet of the war, and actually stationed in Manila on Dec. 8 (7th here). It took a long time to understand that it wasn't just those two cities, or their citizens. It was all the Allied soldiers, the nation of Japan, and helped prevent several generations of complete hostility towards Japan, beyond what we already had.
The Japanese were trying to negotiate with messages sent via the Soviets, who had no interest in a shorter war. They wanted time to move their forces east and take over as much of East Asia as possible, especially Vladivostok. So the messages weren't relayed. Aside from that, the Japanese were not willing to fully surrender yet, and the military still had too much sway. It wasn't until the emperor made the decision to force the surrender that it happened, spurred on my the two bombs.
You can check out The Longest Day for a really good look from the Japanese side, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062041/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_86_act
Negates the whole premise of the film, to save his family.....his mother, and in turn his father.
Victor said that the seasons never changed until mid way through season 2, so they were trying to stay in form.
