Cribtop was very upset over the events at Koepang. He stated in email that he considered resigning, but went out on town with family he had two beers. Next day, we are back at war. Both of us are our own worst critics. For me, I hope to delay the conquest of northern Australia and give me a better jumping off point later in the war.
