That was as far as I read.
ok - your choice, when/if you wish to talk about history - vs your ego being hurt, i'll be around.
peace to you Sir.
I have a Master's in history.
Ok, i did not know. i have a bachelor's, but not in history, but have in interest.
as one gentlemen to another - I'd like to discuss Japan/Russia/America - 1945. without personal invective.
but for discussion's sake.
is that ok with you? it ok with me.
i don't like being a dick nor do i think you do - we dished it out toward each other - and to be honest i'm not sure "who started it" - but welcome clearing the slate, and to discuss history, which you know more than me, me being an interest amatuer.
i have no prob being schooled, nor agreeing to dissagree, nor calling you out when i think you are wrong in spite of your masters.
just sayin. this forum only serves a function when other here wish to discuss matters and i am humble enough to learn from other's council (and vise versa).

I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a blunt stick than converse with an idiot who gets his history knowledge from the back of cereal packets and "WW2 for Dummies"
I'm not a wuss, and do not take kindly to insults, but willing to offer a figleaf (peace toward you - a reset? - it up to you now) - I'm here not for my ego/insulting others, but to share my views and discuss matters.
in this thread - which morphed from movies folks do not value now - due to cultural decay (common humanity/human condition) is no longer valued sadly) - to Japan in Summer of 45.
I'm ok with that, and offer a fig leaf.
lets talk about Japan/russia and american in summer of 45 - as gentlemen.
OK?
i prob will not agree with you but welcome the correction if you provide a valid argument.
agreed?
