Default RE: A little history

I was not aware of that statement by Admiral Nagumo. Or was it Yamamoto? Yamamoto spent quite some time as the Naval Attache in Washington D.C. before the war. (He was a great poker p[layer!!) When he went home to Japan, at his farewell party the Americans, to honor him, presented him with a beautifl Colt Model 1911A1 .45 to take home with him!

At the begnning of WWII< when the Brits thought the Krauts were going to invade the home islands, they begged Americans to donate guns to help arm their home guard. Many thousands of guns were given to them by us. After the war ended, and there was no need for them, they bastards collected them all. and dumped them in the ocean!

Next time, they can just beg!!
