    Another good question, has any one of nationa building projects ever worked out? Or is it just been a constantly moving post of military theory that never has quite panned out in reality. Is our military using dehumanizing morey analytics?

    Scary stuff, I'm not familiar on the rebuild of Japan. Did we impose or prop up a new govertnment as well ?

    And tech wise, commnunication, so on so much has changed if japan is literally the last successful example.

    Nothing that resembles modern day communication, culture, technology...

    If those were the last examples it goes to show in the last 3-4 decades we haven't seen anything promising on that front. But i suppose its almost agreed upon unilaterally that the foreign wars aren't a good idea...or pragmatic idea
