Re: Quora story on WW II.

Sam Kegley 11:47 AM (55 minutes ago) to Jeff, me, bcc: Charles, bcc: Chuck, bcc: Jesse, bcc: Graydon, bcc: David, bcc: Rick https://www.quora.com/ I know you have always been interested in the events of WW II, son, so I believe the attached information concerning the Japanese inability to win WW II would interest you. You have heard my story of a long-time American sergeant when I was in Japan, saying that Japan wanted American Territory so that they could 'put a lot of rice patties between the Pacific Ocean and the Mississippi River. We attended my brother-in-law, Russ Brown's funeral in Chillicothe yesterday. Russ had Trina's son, RJ, who played football for Zane Trace, and lived with Russ after my sister, Mary Lou's, passing in 2013. RJ is over six feet and has kept up his strength-building. He is a fine-looking young fellow (29) who has been in the US Army for 8 years but told me he will re-enlist soon. He has served in Kuwait overseas. He said their people do not want us there. Japan, In my 1953 and 1954 months there, would have occasional street passersby's saying "GI go home". We get many more hateful comments from our own supposed countrymen today. The USA has not been like Britain in empire-building of conquered territories. Besides crooked deals by our supposed national representatives in Congress, we have helped rebuild the economies of those defeated enemies of ours. Politicians represent themselves when there is a lot of money being doled out, ahead of their patriotism. Otherwise, the land we claim in conquered territories are for the burial of our service people killed there. Dad
