Quote:
The mass slaughter of 1914-18 robbed the UK of a million lives, leaving no part of the country untouched. But there was a tiny handful of settlements where all those who served returned home.

With its rows of ramshackle yellow stone cottages, set amid undulating Cotswold hills, the village of Upper Slaughter belies the violence of its name.

In hazy autumn sunlight, this corner of Gloucestershire might well have been rendered in watercolour. All the components of tourist-brochure Britain are here - the red phone box, the winding lanes, the wisteria draped around the windows.

But one normally ubiquitous feature is missing. Unlike the overwhelming majority of British settlements, Upper Slaughter has no war memorial.
It's a year or two old, but I just stumbled onto it so apologies if it's a repost. I'm surprised that there are 14 villages that lost noone through two World Wars. ]]> Military History and Tactics Corrupt http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?226528-Thankful-villages-The-places-where-everyone-came-back-from-the-wars <![CDATA[Japan WWII 'comfort women' were 'necessary' - Hashimoto]]> http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?226492-Japan-WWII-comfort-women-were-necessary-Hashimoto&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 04:10:54 GMT A prominent Japanese politician has described as "necessary" the system by which women were forced to become prostitutes for World War II troops.


Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto said the "comfort women" gave soldiers putting their lives at risk a chance "to rest".


He acknowledged that the women had been acting "against their will".


Some 200,000 women in territories occupied by Japan during WWII are estimated to have been forced into becoming *** slaves for troops.


Many of the women came from China and South Korea, but also from the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan.


Japan's treatment of its wartime role has been a frequent source of tension with its neighbours.


Mr Hashimoto, the co-founder of the nationalist Japanese Restoration Party, was the youngest governor in Japanese history before becoming mayor of Osaka.


He said last year that Japan needed "a dictatorship".


In his latest controversial comments, quoted by Japanese media, he said: "In the circumstances in which bullets are flying like rain and wind, the soldiers are running around at the risk of losing their lives,"


"If you want them to have a rest in such a situation, a comfort women system is necessary. Anyone can understand that."


He also claimed that Japan was not the only country to use the system, though it was responsible for its actions.


He said he backed a 1995 statement by Japan's then-PM Tomiichi Murayama, in which he apologised for its wartime actions in Asia.


"It is a result of the tragedy of the war that they became comfort women against their will. The responsibility for the war also lies with Japan. We have to politely offer kind words to [former] comfort women."

Anyway, I recently came through this interesting "what if" movie. A ten part docu-fiction on how did WW3 start during the Cold War.

It is mostly made of archives videos and arranged in such a way it creates a somehow convincing scenario. Perhaps a bit Tom-Clancy-ish if you ask me, but nice nonetheless.

But this country remained neutral in the conflict between 1939 and 1945.
In order to fight in World War II, thousands of soldiers left the country and the Irish Army to join the British forces.
They became known as deserters - a title intended to carry shame. And when they returned after battle many were treated as anything but heroes.
