A lot of parallels I'm seeing here, what with the straight up mention of morale victory of the small "Doolittle Raid" on Tokyo which had a small 50 casualties but showed that these invaders are vulnerable. *Especially the liberation of many races is like when dozens of nations enslaved by Japan cheered when the American nukes liberated them.* Especially the Okinawans who had been annexed and oppressed for centuries and got to no longer be annexed into Japan until the 1970s. By the way, at the end of the Doolittle Raid when damaged American planes flew right over Japanese airspace and into the allied nation of the Republic of China, Japan specifically sought out the city of Quzhou for harboring and daring to escort the pilots back to American Navy (there are actual photos of citizens forming escorts around American pilots) and sent in murder battalions to personally massacre the civilians up close and personal, just like so many cities they have done already and will do (for example, in just 3 years Japan invaded Vietnam and killed 2 million. In 8 years Japan killed 22 million in China alone.) at a death toll of 250,000: 250k may looks like the same number of nuclear casualties but Japan leaves out that 1/3 of those casualties were foreign slaves forced to work in Japanese weapons factories and mines, and Hiroshima was Japan's WMD production center (chemical gas bombs. It's germ bomb human experimentation and manufacture plants were in stationed in occupied territories in China), and Japan unlike Germany that never used WMDs (Atomic, Biological, nor Chemical, Hitler preferred suicide over trying to turn his disadvantaged state of war with such Weapons of Mass Destruction), was developing nukes right into the end of the war and when they couldn't do it on time, planned to bomb America with bubonic plague, anthrax, mustard gas chemical bombs in the September of 1945 called Operation Cherry Blossoms at NIght, but they were already doing to cities all over Asia for many years. But they actively leave that out of history and run the propaganda of playing "innocent victims who did no wrong whatsoever but was bullied by evil Americans") But according to official Japanese propaganda right into 2022, the war was all "America's fault for not selling American oil to Japan's invasions into China" which was hoped would stall their bloodthirsty war machine. The embargo of American steel and oil, instead of like normal countries did not stall Japan, but instead they sought to use the resource shortage as an excuse to go rob those from more Asian nations and enslave and massacre them silently afterwards to feign victimhood to "white people," and use the spoils to build up their industry which still stands today. *So Pearl Harbor was actually Japan's war for American Oil.* (Compare this to how Nixon slowly weened America's dependence on Middle Eastern oil after the Oil Shocks of the 70s in a plan that would take decades to manifest) (The Republic of China (now Taiwan) at the time was very busy fighting the Japanese invaders that started WW2 upon their invasion in 1937, of course without declaration of war as Japan has NOT EVER declared war in its invasion of dozens of nations, nor ever in history. It's like their tradition to cheat. Even the Soviet military advisors accompanying the Chinese Communist Party testified the CCP betrayed the communist civil war truce with the Republic, and instead actively evaded the invaders and just leeched off and stockpiled resources and spread propaganda that they were the only ones fighting the Japanese, all to destroy the Republic right after WW2),

@@akriegguardsman Banzia? *with a German accent*

[@CrabTastingMan]

​@@akriegguardsman Unlike Russian version, the Japanese version failed miserably. Because they were too stupid to use preliminary artillery barrages before the assault. *They believed some idiotic "samurai spirit bushido" mumbo jumbo would let them withstand bullets in real life.* It's why while their troops were spread too thin trying to invade 20 different nations at once all without declaration of war as per the Japanese tradition to cheat, and 2 million of 3 million soldiers committed cannibalism (George HW Bush barely evaded becoming sushi) Just like how it happened in the Boxer Rebellion only, they didn't learn: *the Japanese decided to not upgrade their weapons so they don't HAVE to use dangerous suicide tactics, they upgraded only their suicide tactics.* Nowhere else in history would u find planes with NO WEAPONs and are ONLY DESIGNED FOR SUICIDE BOMBs. --ALLAHU AKBAR!-- Hey wait, the Japanese were brainwashed to believe emperor hirohito is a literal living god and bowed and prayed to the direction of his imperial palace in tokyo every day, and various decentralized Shinto Shrines throughout Japan had its centuries-old deities defaced and its priests kicked out into the mountains and the temples hijacked by "National Shintoists" which still exist to this day and the deities replaced with only hirohito and his holy sons. (This is why Hitler lamented, why the German people would not worship their leader as a god like the Japanese do!) (And the Zen Buddhists at the time were telling people blowing themselves up for the holy emperor will get them to the "Pure Land" aka Zen Buddhist paradise. See the book "Zen at War" And Zen have been saying Christianity is violent and kept pointing to the Crusades all this time in their Japanese propaganda! :D ) and where in other nations, "Suicide mission" is always a term used as an exaggeration of the high risks involved (yes, even in the Soviet Union they didn't APPROVE of wasting men. They weren't the ones inventing suicide bomb planes!), ONLY IN JAPAN IS "SUICIDE MISSION" LITERAL: they don't hope you would return alive despite the odds, the mission *_ONLY_** SUCCEEDS IF YOU COMMIT SUICIDE.* Oh kamikazes were just the Ouka suicide-only planes where ppl were screwed shut into their cockpits and given barely enough fuel and supervised by veterans with full fuel so suicide pilots can't escape but veterans can return back to base to goad more suicide pilots. They had Shinyo "Oceanquake" Suicide Boats, Kaiten "Return to Heaven" Suicide manned Torpedos, Kairyu "Sea Currents" Suicide 2-man submarines, and Fukuryu "Hidden Dragon" suicide diving suits + manned antitank mines of the same name. Hitler was once offered a program to train soldiers to do something milder but similar but even he thought it was idiotic, and unbecoming of a Germanic people to do this (instead he committed suicide rather than do things like that or use WMDs to turn the tide of war... unlike how the Japanese developed WMDs like nukes right to the end of the war and failing that, drew up a plan to bomb America with bubonic plague + mustard gas + anthrax germ bombs in the September of 1945 called *"Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night"...* but they were *already gas-bombing and germ-bombing all sorts of cities across Asia for years, killing 30 million.* Then trying to erase such history and play innocent victims who did no wrong to "evil American wypipo" and "Pearl Harbor was all America's fault for imposing an embargo on Japan on American Steel and American Oil which they had 90% dependence on for Japanese military conquests") See: Battle of Khalkin Gol where Russians destroyed Japanese assaults time and time again. *The ONLY REASON THE JAPANESE SURRENDERED HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH NUKES* it was just Japanese propaganda to guilt America. It was actually the Soviets barreling through the Japanese forces stationed in the Republic of China. Thinking they will be split like Germany would, they just killed a bunch of sex slaves throughout their colonies and buried their bodies, printed money for months on end to buy up all the gold and relics to use as the basis for their industry in their revival in the 60s, gave colonies "military tickets" that were only usable in Japanese-held territories and as such because worthless and caused hyperinflation and economic failure which was necessary for the spread of communism, then surrendered only to America (so technically Japan's war was never over with the Soviet Union), a tactic like so many Nazis who committed war crimes in Eastern Europe then ran right towards American troops to avoid their rightful fate in Soviet gulags or executions, except this was a nationwide scale. See, Japan by the time of August of 1945 no longer was fazed at all about casualty reports by the 10s of 1000s... remember these people were already sending 5 digits of ppl into suicide bombers. and therefore 250k nuclear casualties (the Japanese hide that 1/3 of those were slaves forced into labor in Japanese weapons factories and mines. Hiroshima was actually Japan's poison gas bomb production center. The tourist attraction "bunny island" in Hiroshima was actually their attempt to sugarcoat that island being the central stockpile of poison reagents so bad that it killed off all wildlife there enough for a reset for the ecosystem when after American troops neutralized the island's poison, someone brought bunnies.)

I just had a thought.... ( note: off topic).... Murder hornets are hive minded creatures, yes? Then why not strap a insect size GPS chip on 1 of them? Find one, find them all type mentality.

[@kirknay]

Unlike more advanced (in biology) species, murder hornets are extremely biased toward killing off those who look ever so slightly off. It's a defense mechanism against disease or lookalike species stealing their food or offspring.

[@sheevpalprotein9132]

That's actually similar to what they did to the non-native goats destroying the wildlife of the Galapagos Islands

[@ComedicLetter]

@@kirknay so, in the most over generalized and misrepresented way, racist bees? (Note: I would have said hornets, but that doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as bees in this case)

@@ComedicLetter closer to late soviet hornets. Everyone knows the KGB is watching, and there's a reward for tipping them off.

All the resources and effort we put into kicking the stuffing out of ourselves, directed at one enemy. Group of humans scrumming in the dirt. Xeno think, "oooh, they are distracted", throws a rock into the mix. Xeno gets mobbed by the whole group, sent to the hospital. Humans go back to scrumming in the dirt. Mind your own, we have rules for this.

[@stevenweaver3386]

Humans using WW2 tactics of Germany, Japan, Soviets and America. Doolittle raid and submarine/Uboat commerce destruction. Last ditch no retreat defence, fight to last soldier, suicide attacks to take just one more Xeno with you. Stalingrad (Pavlov's House), Iwo Jima and Okinawa tactics to break the Xeno will to fight.

[@evernewb2073]

humans have two basic behavioral motivators: support our community and destroy threats, even self preservation and/or perpetuation falls pretty far behind those two we get so damned weird because in the current situation by *_FAR_* the greatest apparent threat is other humans...who just so happen to also automatically fall under that "community" categorization to at least some degree, this leaves us flipflopping impulse matrices from one whim to the next as a thing's degree of perceived threat and degree of perceived personal association is weighed on a moment to moment basis
