TODAY'S LESSON ON HOW UTTERLY STUPID HUMANS CAN BE: A Japanese Soldier Who Continued Fighting WWII 29 Years After the Japanese Surrendered, Because He Didn’t Know.

More than anything I have ever heard of,  THIS is why it's so insane when whole nations of people are sent to war...

Years passed in the jungle with these four soldiers continuing to perform their sworn duty of harrying the enemy at every opportunity and gather intelligence as best they could.  At a certain point, when most everybody they saw was dressed in civilian clothing, they began thinking that this too was a ruse from the Allied forces to lull the Japanese guerrilla soldiers into a false sense of confidence.  They considered the fact that every time they fired on these “civilians” shortly thereafter search parties would arrive hunting them.  Over time they had gradually let their solitude twist their minds into thinking everyone was an enemy, even their own fellow Japanese who would occasionally come and try to find them and get them to come home.  These of course in their minds were Japanese prisoners forced to come lure them away from the safety of the jungle.

Seems to be an analogy and life lesson here, Bob. But utterly stupid is as utterly stupid does.

I thought the same thing.

This clown was still still fighting World War 2 seven years after Gilligan's Island went out of production.

But as long as that was,  our country will likely be fighting the war in Iraq even longer.  Maybe even for the hundred years John McCain predicted.  Which would be about five more generations of Americans.  Assuming America still exists by then.

Speaking of Gilligan's Island,  Gilligan's first name was Willy.  And the "Skipper's" name was Jonas Grumby.

What in the world is your purpose?

This occurred in 1974. So you post what one individual did FORTY YEARS AGO and that is relevant today?

Whew!

It was Jonathan Gruber who called Obamacare supporters, basically Progressives, STUPID numerous times. Obviously he knew what he was talking about.

You are the one who's STUPID for thinking that anyone believes your recycled, regurgitated talking points.

You could say the word "Booo" and he would find a way to attribute the utterance to President Obama's "failures."

Really?

It was one of our most rabid Progressives here who started a FORTY YEAR OLD incident and referred to the soldier as stupid.

I'm was just curious and am still why he felt the urge to start the thread?

One person, out of millions...forty years ago and that was significant to Bob?

Bob, this no doubt is Obama's fault.

No but it seems it's Bob's fault. He's the one who thought it was new and relevant.
