#5 Japan: 1945. "Hey, where's our food and oil, Yankee dogs? We're hungry and cold."
It used to be that this was the point of the exercise. How long do you think Hamas would last if wars were fought like they used to be?

#7 tu3031, actually, at the end of WWII, Japan was on the verge of starvation. (If we hadn't bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the next targets would have been the railroads between the rice paddies and the cities, which would have caused real starvation.)
General MacArthur requested and got food for the Japanese. When he was asked why we didn't just let the Japanese starve, he replied "We're better than that".
On the other hand, Japan had surrendered, and ceased hostilities.
