I am living proof of surviving that which you are not supposed to survive. Either that or this is purgatory. But even though I survived, the topography of my body has changed significantly though I still retain all my limbs and basically look intact. A trained eye will pick out several changes that denote the prior trauma. And if I take my shirt off, it will be glaringly obvious that something is not right....or that I am an albino Klingon!

I have seen bodies that looked more or less in the proper shape.....unless you knew what to look for and inwardly cringe when you understand what you are looking at. I remember that cringe and the sights that have caused it. Far more clearly than I really like. While I can make a case for the untrained eye to find someone "sitting" in their seat after a crash looking intact {unlikely but I can think of a scenario that would present like this}, I cannot think of any possible way his sword stays in his hand. And if his seat {and body} are no longer in the fuselage, the chances of his body maintaining some semblance of normal shape drop sharply, and the sword staying in his hand certainly becomes impossible.

I have no doubt that the Japanese cleaned up the report to look better. And I don't blame them nor think unkindly about it.

No, but I've seen a recent show called 'Triggers' on cable where they were using a Ma-duce to disassemble bowling balls. Does that count?

I've met a few people as dumb as bowling balls!

I was going to go into more detail, but have decided not to as I don't think it's appropriate. Nonetheless, when the Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over the Ukraine a few years ago, there were still some victims whose bodies were relatively intact, sitting in their seats that had ejected from the plane. Obviously, the bodies had suffered all sorts of damage, internal and external, and were grisly to look at, but they were intact rather than obliterated. It's imaginable, certainly possible, that Yamamoto's body was intact and still in its seat, especially since the plane was lower to the ground and flying at a lower speed than the MA flight. However, I do not doubt Yamamoto's final repose looked far worse than "head furrowed down as if deep in thought."

Only a few, I consider that a plus.

Did I just say that out loud?

I wrote that wrong. It was supposed to be "dumber" than a bowling ball.

For sure only bushido bullshit and Jap propaganda again or have you ever seen an honest Japanese?

Nice! What is it about this form that attracts this sort?

And while I know Matrix allows the use of the racial slur, "Jap", why do you guys stoop so low?

Do you also use the N-word in your daily lives as you do the slur against our Japanese brothers and sisters?

Some people don't seem to be able to identify irony and sarcasm. Shouldn't have posted anything. I do not need to be suspected as a rascist.

"I was only kidding". Sorry, no sale.

No, really Mate. Read again. He's defending Ugaki and poking fun at the idea that everything Japanese as a source has to be tainted with Bushido or bullshit. Leave him alone, he's innocent
