moonpie goes on to say @33:15 the japs more or less sacrificed their carriers at Midway so they could take the Aleutians in Alaska to prevent them from being used as air bases and then steps on his dick by saying that the prevailing winds hampered attacks from Alaska because they'd be bucking head winds which made them impracticable, which is true.That's why they bombed them from Tinian. And yes moonpie, the Americans made it to japan to firebomb the hell out of Tokyo long before they were nuked at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You guys can live in your fantasy world, like most progs, but I won't.
