#1 good to see the japs deploying forces,they're surly gonna need the experiance to pass round to other units of the japanese armed forces,reason i say this is surly the whole North Korean situation is gonna take a real serious turn for the worse soon isn't it ? i give them 1 to 2 years max before something serious kicks off to settle this 'ancient' dispute.Whats you guys estimate on how much longer this situation in NK can go on?

#2 Good for them, if those Islamist mutts think that they have a warrior culture, I wonder what they'll think when they see the people from the land of samuari's & ninja's.

Whats you guys estimate on how much longer this situation in NK can go on?
The Chinese have Kimmy on a leash, he doesn't dare to try and slip off it. He will continue to bark and growl - nothing more. This will go on for as long as there are grass clippings and tree bark in NorK.

#3 I wonder if they visited the big shrine before embarking. What's the name of the shrine to the armed forces dead?

#4 I know the one your talking about Ship,don't remember either.

And lets not forget the original Suicide Bomber,JM.
A "Divine Wind(Kamakazi)"may start blowing through Iraq.

Don't really expect Kamakazi's in Iraq,but Arabs think they invented the idea.

#7 From the site noted above:
From In front of the shrine, inked on a large black slate, behind some plexiglass - the final words of a 20 year old kamikaze pilot, a letter to his mother. Sanae translated; roughly - I am fated to die, I attack America because I am Japanese, I love being Japanese, I love Japan, I love you Mom.

Somehow sounds different to my ear than the typical Jihadi Death Rant. That boy loved life... but had a duty.
