Has anyone considered:  we're talking about  memorializing men
who gave of their lives, or gave up their lives, fighting the Japanese,
by operating, in the very spaces where they served and bleed,
with Japanese radios ?  It's obscene.

I know the Japanese people of today are a decent and honorable people.
But bottom line:
 a WWII memorial either steps you back into 1944, or it's an MTV-fake-up.
