Well it looks like somebody over there owes you an apology. See that you get it.
Nobody should give you a hard time. Ever.

(stuff that gave me a hard time snipped)

The Pacific was a whole different story, and the R-2800 was more
important there, but lets face it, the Pacific was a sideshow.

Yeah.

Pearl Harbor, Doolittle, Corregidor, Bataan, Guadalcanal, Midway, Hiroshima,
Nagasaki .... why do historians even bother mentioning them?

Sheesh!!!
