Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Okinawa..
Not been near, however it be the place my Pater ended amongst the last casualties of WW-II (likely in July!) via Kamikaze--merely presumably. as I've yet to unearth from some Details-sanctum: an actual report of 'Cause'. He was aboard one of the many ships, a naval Pharmacist Mate enroute to MD-hood--so just a month ... short.

(As I was a mere tad), had heard nothing since his "Greetings" from the War Dept--at least then it was more honest; "Defense Dept" is soo Murican a bald-faced euphemism). Thus it was less traumatic an event por moi than for most folks. Maybe my first noticing of, "when you turn that ignition key" ... ya never know what the Roulette Wheel has in store.

Later on I learned of the intricate cave systems on Okinawa, thence the murderous cross fires to secure finally, the whole plot. Lately though, as over the many years.. the inhabitants have had Quite Enough of Murican forces and their home-grown habits re local lasses--nuff said: just add-to-lists now exponentially mulitiplied by The Menaces's dismantling of the word, 'Ally' (amidst our other nasty qualities, now so universally Noticed).

I think I'd punt on a visit, though.
New Okinawa was not the reason the cruise was picked.
It was just incidental to the cruise and not a bucket list item.

We stopped at (the Japanese Southernmost) Ishigaki Island as well and I hadn't mentioned it before or even knew about it.

So technically I've been to Japan. But, if you haven't been to Tokyo or Kyoto that can be questioned.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
New Understood; there's no sane reason to 'boycott' the place ..these eons later, even por moi.
