Also some Japanese and Germans participated in the Mexican Revolution, many of them...

We're watching the downfall of arguably the worlds most popular celebrity's reputation as we speak. I didn't realise he was so skanky! That's a great find Abbas! Here's some of the latest! Emergency crews responded overnight to the posh Florida street where embattled golfer Tiger Woods lives after a 911 call early this morning. ABC's Orlando affiliate WFTV reported seeing a woman being removed from the ambulance...

Or maybe they were ahead of their time? Would you not say that Hezbollah and the IRGC follow the same doctrine?

I believe Israelis would level Lebanon in repsonse

The Japanese were an odd mix of 1500's Samurai, and Meiji technologists. Like France did in Early WW1, they thought elan and attack would sweep the enemy off the battlefield; that nothing could stop a determined assault by highly motivated troops. The bulk of the Imperial Japanese generals believed they could win... only a few, Yamamoto in particular, understood the task they faced when they launched the attack on the U.S. The commander...
