Interesting that you should say that, it just remind me of a conversation I had with my dad years ago. I was born just after the war and in the late 60's I bought a Toyota. At the time, it was the best bang for the buck and I had very few bucks. My father wouldn't buy
anything made in Japan and one day I asked him why (dumb question). He was at Iwo Jima at the end of the fighting and at Okinawa for all of it. In fact, I am named after his friend that he survived the battle of Okinawa along side. Anyway, his reply to my question was "You don't forget when someone is trying to kill you".
With so many in the world that want to kill us, I wonder why we don't seem to have the same convictions my father had. Maybe those peoples identity are not as well defined or maybe the PC police would come get me if I stated what I'm thinking?
