#1 I have to say, the Japanese spirit really impresses me. Take a warrior culture, thousands of years old and overnight turn it into a pacifist nation and expect it to work seems impossible (and much press during 1946-1948 stressed this). But yet, they accepted their fate, turned their economy around and have become a major power in the pacific. Most other nations would have collapsed into civil war. And now, the Japanese people are once again ready to turn their thinking in a very short time to again become a modern, democratic military power.

I am proud to have them as allies.

#6 To see a Japanese flag over a Nimitz class carrier or three in the sea of Japan wouldn't be a bad thing...
