@redandblack - LOL... Point number 1.) Where in my post did I make any demands that people accept the official claims of one side over the other? Point number 2.) The "kind heartdness" remark was sarcasm. Point number 3.) I never claimed or insinuated that I hate China. A question I have for you is, who's "official" claims do you accept as fact, for you to "withdraw credit" from Vietnam just to feel better about your stance? FYI... I feel pretty good about my stance regardless of which country gets the "credit".

@redandblack - In response to your history on the border skirmish between China and Vietnam, it was more of China getting their A$$es handed to them as opposed to them having a kind heart and withdrawing on their own accord.

@Kirinlager:
Actually, that would be a surprise, if he were to divorce his wife, just to play the field. No pun intended. Numerous pro athletes have already shown that you can get a woman or two or more in every city you play in without getting a divorce.

@yagura:
I think that Matsui Hideki was a little more successful than you give him credit for. He was even a World Series MVP I believe, as well as an All Star player. That is a pretty successful career.

@justaguy-Exactly what were the defeats? The Taliban is still out of power since the war started, Bin Laden is taking a watery nap, and Sadaam Hussein albeit ill advised is dead and gone. How exactly has the U.S. been defeated? Please explain.

It's hard for me to imagine that China would just let this go.

kurumazaka, I root for the Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks, and FIGHTING ILLINI, so I sorta know what you're going through. I may never see the Cubs do it, although the hiring of Theo Epstein certainly makes the future brighter, but we are still going on 104 years of no championship, just to see our hated rivals, the Cardinals possibly close it out tonight. It was an exciting game past night. The errors were too many to call it a great game.

@just-a-guy-A couple of things here. A.) The U.S. hasn't been in Iraq for 10 years, and B.) If the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents haven't been defeated, it can't exactly be said that they've been victorious either. Weren't the Taliban in power at the time of the invasion of Afghanistan? Are they in power now? By in power, I mean the rulers of the country.

I have trained in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. @Seawolf-I agree to a certain extent. Although I have never trained in Genbukan, I agree that there are some instructors (Shihan) who have westernized it to a degree, but you can still find people that are following the guidlines, so to speak. @It"sME-I agreement with you as well. Due to the lack of physical historical records, etc; there are hose that do not consider what is being taught in Bujinkan, Genbukan, and Jinenkan as Koryu, even though those arts can be traced to having beginnings prior to the Hatorei/Meiji era which is what a koryu is, from what I understand from my limited research.

I think it will be great for Japan and the region, minus China, for Japan to upgrade it's fleet of fighters/interceptors. I wonder what's taking so long for the pro China bleeding hearts to cry foul?

@YuriOtani-You're right that the few Marines stationed on Okinawa wouldn't really be able to do much against a full scale Chinese assault. It's their mere presence that prevents a Chinese assault from even being contemplated by the Chinese military.

As I am a firm believer in corporal punishment, this is clearly taking it way too far.
