The japanese look like one of the peoples on the planet that punch above their weight class, because they are a able to pull off stuff. And i sometimes wonder, looking at their history, if maybe they just have to. Despite all the impediments and te odds against them, the japanese people manage to pull the fat out of the fire more times than not. I read somewhere that for the ichigo offence, the Japans stock piled ammunition for two years and aviation air fuel for eight months. The irony of the whole thing is that the j Japan will in large part, succeed in many ways in this offensive.
