Racism is real.
Btw, I believe it wasn't Jap, it was Gook to Senator Inoue. I remember it like yesterday, my dad exploded and told all of us kids.

Ahhh...you may be right at that, Anthony. I remember an explosion, too...from my career Army father who couldn't believe that a war hero would be slandered like that.
*sigh*
I wish I could say it surprised me about losing the girlfriend, but sadly, things like that don't surprise me anymore. They used to. Once upon a time, I wanted to believe people weren't like that. Once upon a time I even believed that people had more of a handle on who the players were in any given war, too.
