If it weren't for my wife and a Park Service security guard I'd have put a serious hurt on a Japanese tourist at the line to buy tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial. Running his mouth about a *great victory* and others like him in line right at cheering

I'm still ********* when I think of
them....
You should have asked them about their "great victories" at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I'd have done my impression of a Japanese flak gunner at Hiroshima:
"Hey, is that a B-29?"
"How come there's only one?"
"What's that falling out of it?"
"Why are my eyes melting?"
Given a little prep time, I might even be able to say it in Japanese while doing my impression of Sonny Chiba.
Back during the Gulf War, some leftwing German ninny was in usenet babbling about Vietnam. I just replied, "Vietnam, is that like... AUSCHWITZ???? That's not like AUSCHWITZ, is it????"
He just plain came unglued, gibbering about how "It was not my fault! I was not having been born yet!(love German grammar translated into English verbatim!)."
I replied, "They didn't let me out of grammar school to fight in Vietnam, either."
If somebody wants to be a "richard" about history, I'll go there EVERY time, and I'm VERY eager to "Rosie O'Donnell"-slap them six ways to Sunday.
