Elviscat posted:My paternal "Grandpa" transfered off of Arizona just before Pearl Harbor, and was a merchant mariner in the pacific theater. My actual Grandpa was building planes for Boeing and banging my Grandma on the side. I inherited "Grandpa's" Navy memorabilia from the War, as the only other Navy sailor in the family. The Merchant Marines had a higher casualty rate per capita than any actual military branch during the war, so your not-Grandpa didn't exactly skate out of harm's way. At least a Navy ship has a chance to shoot back effectively. I'm not sure where I'd have rather been, given the choice between the two. E: Mom's dad was a navigator instructor in Kansas teaching Navy pilots not to get lost flying PB4Y-2 Privateers. Dad's dad was barely old enough to go to boot camp in a "go to war or go to jail" deal* when the war was ending, but spent time in the occupation of Japan in '46. He almost certainly would have been cannon fodder during an invasion. * At his wake, an old friend from his youth showed up unexpectedly to pay his respects. When he found out Grandpa had been a deacon at his church, he was heard to say "Curly, a deacon? Hell, I'd have thought if Curly ever stepped inside a church it'd fall down around his ears!" Clearly there were some stories that Grandpa had kept close to the vest. E2: Okay, I do have to add that Grandpa actually got thrown out of the Army for marrying an Army nurse without permission. Grandpa was enlisted as gently caress. E3: That nurse was not my grandmother. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Aug 7, 2023 |

Spoggerific posted:That isn't to say that all of Japan completely denies or refuses to address Japanese warcrimes, though. I have seen history shows on TV that address things like soldiers urging civilians to commit suicide on Okinawa, and there's a general awareness that Japan did some Bad Things to women in Korea, partially thanks to Korea (rightfully) constantly demanding an apology that hasn't properly come. I will say that from my limited discussions about the war with Okinawans when I was there, they certainly haven't forgotten. They don't like the US troops being there either, mind - but for the most part they're very polite about it. Really the general wish is that everybody would leave them the hell alone for once.

The trans private school shooter, on the other hand... (Despite the fact that there was no "manifesto", only a collection of private writings. A manifesto is by definition published, released, or in some way disseminated to draw others to your political views.)
