Oh, really, there are similarities? When victory was acheived with Japan (Sept 2, 1945) and our troops entered their homeland to begin occupation duties they were no longer subject to death or disability due to combat losses. The fight was over and the re-education of Japan as to the advantages of democracy began. Why is it you clowns continually try to connect WWII with this conflict when there are so few comparisons to suitably connect them. Quit trying to justify Bush's war with a world-wide conflict that dwarfs it in comparison, the results of which were cut-and-dried when peace terms were signed.
