Interesting and it makes total sense

[Kwon]

The first post is a interpretation of a quote by Admiral Yamamoto that came out post WWII, the actual quote is - "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." . Yamamoto was a fan of the US, and spent time here during the 20s, 30s, studying and as a diplomat. He was also the main decision maker for the Pearl Harbor attack.

Before Pearl Harbor, he wrote the following -

"Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it would not be enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. To make victory certain, we would have to march into Washington and dictate the terms of peace in the White House. I wonder if our politicians (who speak so lightly of a Japanese-American war) have confidence as to the final outcome and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices"

After Pearl Harbor, he more or less knew the war was probably unwinnable, stating -

 "I shall run wild considerably for the first six months or a year, but I have utterly no confidence for the second and third years." .

------------------------

His whole plan wasn't for invasion, but to knock the US out of the Pacific long enough to build up Japanese resistance there, and secure raw materials, mainly oil. With the Pacific under a strong Japanese influence, he was hoping that the US would be willing to explore a peace treaty.

Sorry, I know this was covered, but I hate that there was no mention of Yamamoto, as he was integral to the whole thing.

Thanks for this BB!

You sound triggered

You sound insecure.

You have no idea what you are talking about. It’s too late to get into it but as an officer in the USMC I studied at the war college in Quantico - coach is much more accurate but then again aren’t you Canadian? Not really much to offer in terms of military knowledge .

Not only am I not Canadian but I’m also not incorrect.  Which is why you “don’t want to get into it”.   But I'll wait for the refuting effort.

Are you aware Japan was facing severe oil shortages already in 1941? And that's excluding the costs, manpower and resources needed to maintain the occupied territories across China, South-East Asia and the Pacific.

Even if they wanted to invade the US, they did not have the resources or capabilities, so it was not possible.

Don’t worry, Marvin will be by to tell us just how facts like this were not so.

I was both, which were you? 

I'm sure he got a plastic badge from his mail order course.

Welcome, according to Lurker you’re a LARPer

[LurkerNoMore]

No.  He actually put in the work and has the credentials.   Unlike you and your pretend ass.

So in prep for that your contention is he used real ammunition in force on force drills? Or did he “LARP”? Make up your mind. Tard

No.  Real ammunition doesn’t mean shit except to a wannabe mind like yours.  He joined the military.  He served.  You didn’t.  He was employed as a LE. You never have been nor never will be.  All you have are your little LARP fantasies.  He put in the time. He has the credentials.  You have nothing but delusional “training” fantasies for scenarios that will never happen for a wannabe like yourself.

So what you’re saying is yes, they actually shot at themselves with real, live ammunition during their training? Got it! (Lord have mercy he’s clueless)

[38 returns]

coach were you ever le or army?

No, what I am saying is that YOU have never been in the military or employed in law enforcement.  Unlike Ag.  You are just a pretender.  An armchair wannabe that would shit his Depends in a real life situation.  Tell us all again about how you jump out of helicopters.     

The truth of the matter is that if a situation ever arose where you were needed, then those people are just fucked.

So what you're saying is that civilians shouldn't train? Am I hearing that correctly? Also, on the highlighted...what do you want to know?

If they want to train, at least they should be trained by someone qualified.  Unlike your little short ass.  You are neither LE or ex military, nor have you ever been trained in either field.  You couldn't jump out of a helicopter without blowing both knees.  That is before it even takes off.

LARP = Lame Ass Role Play.

Exactly.  But this is coach who isn't the brightest Nancy Drew in the drawer.   He's like someone giving "Astronaut Lessons" when they never worked at NASA, been to space, or can even draw a rocket on paper with crayons.

Nice!

I see..so only Military and LE are only qualified to be instructors? Right?

Besides making an ass of your self with your political takes, you know even less about this. Please answer my question so you can make a fool of yourself even more.

[Humble Narcissist]

He would thereby qualify for the French Foreign Legion.

By your own "live ammunition" logic the blacks in Chicago are better qualified to be LE and military trainers than you are since they "shoot at each other with live rounds".   

The bottom line is if you are "training" LE and military (which you are not), then our line of defense must be in sorry shape.

Just a pretender who has never served in either capacity but is such a sad ass wannabe that you (by your own admission) watch police videos every single night "critiquing" every little thing that you fractured brain thinks they did wrong even though you have never, nor will you ever, be in a situation like they are.

[38 returns]

I'm confused I thought coach was either armed police or served army?

I did 4 years in the army cadets

Coach if you need any lessons and here to help
