actually Honda might not be here had we not bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. after they surrendered, they agreed to demilitarize, and a lot of the industry started going into technology instead of military. also, i think there was some money that was given to Japan to jumpstart the industries. the world would probably be speaking Japanese if they had the lead in military that they have in cars. so its a good thing they decided to concentrate on the industries.

Same deal with Mitsubishi. It all came with the breakup of the Zaibatsu.

yeah, same can be said for Sony, and most of the technological companies there. too bad we jumpstarted them and let our own automotive industry flag so bad.

I want to thank all the U.S. Forced for fighting for what they believe in. I also want to thank my uncle Ralph, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE RESERVE!

I want to thank my Uncle Robert, recently retired, 32 years in the Corps, went out as a full Colonel, with a promotion to Brigadier General. The only soldier I have met who actually knows how the system works.
