So, as I sit here, The Sands of Iwo Jima, is on in the background. I've seen it before so I m barely paying attention, but it seems like the TV signal is messed up.....cuts out sorta. And then I realize whats going on. Every time the Duke says "Jap" or "Nip" (or anybody else for that matter) the word is edited out. The lips move but nothing happens. (Kinda like Congress). Now REALLY?!?!?!!. We weren't exactly on friendly terms over there. And if that's where you are from and you are here now you are an AMERICAN. I don't feel the least bit inclined to apologize.
A number of years (20 maybe) ago I shot my mouth off about how the atomic bomb was kinda rough on the Japanese...in front of a WWII vet who had served over their AFTER "hostilities" had ended. He dressed me down pretty good, and then proceeded to lay down a whole bunch of facts and figures about money, manpower and blood we spent over there "after the war" to get that country back on its feet. Made me proud to get chewed out....
Sorry, just chaps my hide that the DUKE cant call a spade a spade for the sake of politically correct. :evil: CL
