  1. I would agree that if the Japanese had actually used there large battleships to help protect their carriers with anti-aircraft fire that it would have helped preserve their carriers. But the part about US Pilots bombing or torpedoing the battleships INSTEAD of the carriers I seriously doubt that would happen. MAYBE if it was land-base aircraft but US pilots flying off of a carrier is going to see the Japanese Carriers as more of a threat to their own carrier and unless all the carriers are already a fireball, I don't see pilots going after the battleships unless they maybe fly past & rake it with machine gun fire in an effort to take out some of the anti-aircraft gunners. But whatever, that's just one person's opinion & it just happens to be mine. Gotta go do stuff.

  2. Actually the saying "You don't win a war by dying for your country you win a war by making the other dumb som-bich die for his country." THAT WAS FROM A SPEECH THAT GENERAL PATTON would give to his troops. And he also believed that once you have broken enemy lines and have them in retreat to constantly keep them in retreat so they can't set up a good defense. My personal view is if Gen Bradley hadn't ordered Patton to stop advancing when he did A LOT of soldiers that got killed would NOT have gotten killed. And I say "soldiers" meaning German and US soldiers. Cuz Patton could have had a large number of POW'S but they were allowed to slip away thanks to Bradley being scared. Those POW'S would have lived & would have not been able to kill anymore Americans.
