No I am not an anime fan etc.

I have learnt a lot and yes too many people died. I have read many books on the subject also.

Is this a subject that should be banned on this forum?

I lived through the war here in UK.

what I am meaning is that if we do forget history then we are always in danger of repeating things.

The whole war was ghastly. It is not my personal business about okinawa but why should that small area have to deal with the Bases?


I know exactly why they are there but do the locals not get a say.

after all who firebombed Japan even before dropping those heinous monstrosities that ended the war. After all the war on Okinawa was to enable the Americans to bombard Japan cities wasn't it.

Americans helped us also and I am grateful to them although many of their lives were lost because of Incompetence by the Generals etc.

I hate all wars and the suffering of so many innocents.

forgive me if I have touched a delicate subject. I do apologise if I have offended anyone here. After all I am an ENGLISH WOMAN.

The reason for the bases is well known. I will keep my nose out of it. I hope amicable agreements can be found. Yes and I know well who started the war. again my apologies for talking out of turn.

Let us pray that nuclear bombs will never be used again--ANYWHERE or the world would be destroyed.
