In regards to the Japanese wedding dress, aint the inside color normally red?
Yes.And here is the point: Akagi believe that Kaga's personal color should be blue, so she doesn't like the traditional color of wedding dress inside.XD
“Mechanized warfare still left room for human qualities to play an important part in the issue. ‘Automatic warfare’ cancels them out, except in a passive form. Archidamus is at last being justified. Courage, skill and patriotism become shrinking assets. The most virile nation might not be able to withstand another, inferior to it in all natural qualities, if the latter had some decisively superior technical appliance. (...)The advent of ‘automatic warfare’ should make plain the absurdity of warfare as a means of deciding nations’ claims to superiority. It blows away romantic vapourings about the heroic virtues of war, utilized by aggressive and ambitious leaders to generate a military spirit among their people. They can no longer claim that war is any test of a people’s fitness, or even of its national strength. Science has undermined the foundations of nationalism, at the very time when the spirit of nationalism is most rampant.” ― B.H. Liddell Hart, The Revolution in Warfare
Reminds me of that scene in band of brothers when babe fell into a german foxhole
Medic Ralph Spina and Pvt. Edward J. Heffron (nick name "Babe") of Easy Company, 506th.When they on the way from Bastogne to the front,they've lost in the forest.Suddenly Heffron stepped into a hole,which they think that was just soft snow.But they heard someone speaks German in the hole as "Heinkel, bist du das?"."Fxxk you off, Heinkel!" Heffron just jumped out and ran away with Spina. So many years later, every time when Spina met Heffron, he would say"How do you do, Heinkel?".
By the way, my nick name came from this.One of my friend also read the book and gave this nick name "Heinkel" to me.
For a moment there I thought it was the christmas day truce 1914
Well ,there is a true story in the book ‘The Rzhev Meat-Grinder: Memoir of a Soviet Soldier’.The author said that one of his comrade was a good singer during this battle.The singer always sing beautiful songs in the trench at night.Both sides will stop fighting and enjoy his music.One day the singer got sick ,German soldier sneak near the Soviet's trench and send the singer a harmonica with a piece of paper"Hope you be OK".——but both sides have no chance to listen the singer's song with harmonica,because he was killed by a Nazi sniper few days later.
BEST BB Also, as a Marylander, I do have to correct something. We don't roast our crabs. We steam our crabs. Roasted blue crab sounds like god damn heresy.
Same feeling about this kind of misunderstanding...... Oh, I am a Chinese, and I always heard that American said"Chinese like eating dogs" XD....
