Sure. I guess I don't see this as a naked argument or disagreement as much as folks having somewhat different perspectives.

I've found private conversations an excellent way to discuss differences of opinion or misunderstandings without "airing the dirty laundry" in public and inhibiting people's expression.
Hey, what we're all about here. Just think, if DE, JFK, Robby Mac, and LBJ had read the Vietnamese military history referenced in Cherry Blossom's post above, we might be sitting on a whole different history of our own right now.folks having somewhat different perspectives.
Ditto!Now I gotta go back and give CB a bacon too.
There were quite a few nations that were progressively western until the rise of religious extremism - but when a woman's wrist is momentarily exposed reaching for a taxi doorhandle, and is immediately drug off to the nearby soccer stadium and executed, something is terribly wrong.
Men are in charge of women by what Allāh has given one over the other and what they spend from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allāh would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - advise them, forsake them in bed; andstrike them. But if they obey you seek no means against them. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted and Grand.

Islam is great for those who are interested in Sexual things ... Sex slaves, Child marriage, and so many other dirty works covered under the shield of Sacred ...
You're welcome!Thank you so much!
Not all of urban areas, of course!!! specially the religious ones!!!We saw the same thing in Iran in the 70s. Urban areas were Westernized, rural areas, not so much.
In late 1940. Commander Ito led a technical-exchange mission to Germany. Fluent in the German language and holding a doctorate from Dresden Technische Hochschule, he was well received. Staying several months, he became aware of their pulse-modulated radio equipment for detecting and ranging, and immediately sent word back to Japan that this technology should be incorporated in the NTRI-JRC effort. On August 2, 1941, even before Ito returned to Japan, funds were allocated for the initial development of a pulse-modulated Radio Range Finder (RRF – the Japanese code name for a radar).
The Germans had not yet developed a magnetron suitable for use in such systems, so their equipment operated in the VHF region. At the NTRI, they followed the Germans and built a prototype VHF set operating at 4.2 m (71 MHz) and producing about 5 kW. This was completed on a crash basis, and in early September 1941, the set detected a bomber at a range of 97 km (61 mi). The system, Japan's first full radar, was designated Mark 1 Model 1 and quickly went into production.[7]
In parallel with the VHF work, Yoji Ito also returned to the magnetron applications, resulting in Japan's first pulse-modulated microwave RRF set. It operated at 10 cm (3 GHz) and produced a peak-power of 2.0 kW. A prototype was tested in October 1941, and several versions for surface ships and submarines were soon put into production. Naval officials favored the microwave sets because with very narrow beams they were less vulnerable to interception.
A special laboratory was set up near Shimada, in the Shizuoka Prefecture, for developing a high-power magnetron that, if not as powerful as Tesla had boasted, might at least incapacitate an aircraft. A number of Japan's leading physicists were involved. A 20 cm magnetron producing 100 kW was achieved, and by the end of the war a 1000 kW (1 MW) unit was undergoing preliminary testing.[7] At that time, the development was terminated and the hardware as well as all documentation was destroyed.[9]
In his study of the German war economy, Adam Tooze stated that during the Battle of the Ruhr, Bomber Command severely disrupted German production. Steel production fell by 200,000 tons. The armaments industry was facing a steel shortfall of 400,000 tons. After doubling production in 1942, production of steel increased only by 20% in 1943. Hitler and Speer were forced to cut planned increases in production. This disruption resulted in the Zulieferungskrise (sub-components crisis). The increase of aircraft production for the Luftwaffe also came to an abrupt halt. Monthly production failed to increase between July 1943 and March 1944. "Bomber Command had stopped Speer's armaments miracle in its tracks".[24]
Devastation of Krupp factory, Essen, 1945
At Essen after more than 3,000 sorties and the loss of 138 aircraft, the "Krupp works...and the town...itself contained large areas of devastation", and Krupp never restarted locomotive production after the second March raid.[4]
