I know, it doesn't make sense to me either - take a look at the picture.

Dear god.... I need to get the hell out of Kentucky. This is an ad on the back page of the LEO (leoweekly.com).
THIS IS NOT A PHOTOSHOP. This is an add on the BACK COVER of the free weekly.
May the FSM have mercy on us.

Truth is way funnier than fiction. You would never believe that if it were in a book. That's why I don't read much fiction. Just give me a good newspaper. Or a good history book. I can find ya stuff that actually happened, that you will swear is a lie.

If you're a WW2 buff, try the one I'm reading now. Best I've read on the Pacific War in at least the last five years.

My father in Law was in the Pacific. He already explained it to me. You could just hear his explanation. I generally read about Krauts, and Europe.
What a really bad/humorless play on the whole "shotgun" wedding thing.
I bet the Calipari family would get a better discount, lol.

I'm more European theater most of the time. The book I'm researching is Eastern Front.
I recently finished Lenin, Stalin and Hitler: The Age of Social Catastrophe by Robert Gellately. I learned quite a bit from it.

Not familiar with it, if you write a short review and give permission I'll quote you on my book blog.

I'd recommend
Flyboys, if you're interested in the Pacific theater. My grandfather was in the Pacific....Navy.
Flyboys is about Navy pilots who were shot down and captured during the little known action at Chichi Jima...a small, communications base a few miles north of Iwo Jima. This is where George H.W. Bush was shot down...but luckily rescued by a submarine before the Japanese got him. It's sobering stuff. Highly recommended though.
What book are you reading?

What book are you reading?
Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway. Unlike most WW2 books these days, this one is filled with original material and research, and completely re-writes the history of the battle. Fascinating, very well written, very entertaining. I've read every scrap about this battle over the years and at last 50% of this book is new to me. Very highly recommended.
Flyboys was very good indeed, as was Flags of our Fathers. The story of what the Japanese did to POWs is gruesome indeed, what with beheadings, torture, etc. Their Unit 731 was the biological warfare unit stationed in China that conducted mass experiments on the population. There are still deaths due to bubonic plague in China to this day because of that unit. To the Japanese other peoples were not worth worrying about, especially prisoners. Killing them was not a problem.
