Dec 7th, 2017: Infamy
You may have heard of the incident at Pearl Harbor Hawaii on December 7th, 1941.
There he is, the face that will live in infamy. Isoroku Yamamoto, the rat bastard behind it, Japanese Marshal Admiral of the Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Jap Combined Fleet during World War II until his death.

Two years ago I saw the plane that shot down Yamamoto. It was part of a group that flew over DC to celebrate the 70th VE Day anniversary. Which is kind of funny since it served the the Pacific.
http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=927949&postcount=129 I didn't know exactly who Yamamoto was at the time. |

What would make the USA difficult/impossible to invade from over seas isn't the preponderance of firearms it's the vast landscape and incredible difficulties maintaining supply lines. Add in the unparalleled might of the US Army and Navy and the rifle sprouting grasslands really don't come into it.

You have to admit, it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "fields of fire".
