@Jakob Patrick I was about to leave the same comment. Highschool history classes especially are worthless.

[@bigbluebuttonman1137]

History teachers aren't necessarily historians. My history teacher from high school was great, but I wouldn't qualify him as a "historian." My college history professor would probably be a good historian, though, if he wasn't one already. Frankly, Dan Carlin is more of a historian than a lot of history teachers. The history process is one of picking a subject, researching the subject, analyzing the research, and more or less coming to some sort of meaningful (and new) conclusion/insight. Dan probably does that a lot more than a lot of history teachers do.

[@gremlinking5640]

High school history teachers don’t get to spend weeks on a single topic. They are forced to teach hundreds of years of content by state mandated curriculum.

As the grandson of an Australian that fought in PNG for 2+ years. Toward the end of his life he started to talk about his wartime experiences occasionally. He confirmed the fact that prisoners weren't taken unless intelligence wanted some taken. He said jungle fighting often descended into medieval hand to hand fighting with whatever you could kill someone with. The Japanese gained strength from their cultural upbringing, my grandfathers unit gained their strength from wanting revenge.

[@finished6267]

My father said the same about his time in Vietnam near the end of his life. He said even though the VC were no match for him and his guys in the jungle hand to hand, they just kept coming. I had no idea what he went through. I took him into my friends airsoft shop, and set I'm up with an m-16. He he shot one shot, handed the gun to me and said: 'I want to go now. And I don't want to come back here again boy, understand "? I didn't understand, he was an armed individual, etc. I suppose the gun triggered him.

Japan was a culture that bred horrible people who enacted horrific atrocities - there is no question that humanity is better off without it. We are all very, VERY fortunate that humanity's better side conquered such evil. It is an invalid notion to question the necessity of the use of fire bombing and nuclear warheads in this case. May the memory of the Empire of Japan forever lie in detritus.
