I know that I am talking to ghosts but the Japanese ghosts would be sad to find out that their great victory at the Battle of the Coral Sea is now regarded as a strategic victory for the US. The US Marines kicked the Japanese troops butts at Guadalcanal. The Japanese certainly had a knack for exaggerating their air and sea victories. American pilots also exaggerating their victories but the Japanese were far ahead of reality.
I wasn't aware of the different evaluations of Coral Sea; interesting to discover. Just in the context of Guadalcanal, the wrong information that was informing their plans and operations staggers me. The effects on Japan were ruinous, sometimes the entire operation becomes a choreographed death ritual. That being so for the Japanese army and navy - trained military minds but in a make believe world - our guys still had to die and kill for thousands of days and nights.

I don’t see any lights on…
