If you squint, he does look a bit like Woody Harrelson...

Drachinifel has a vid with Jon Parshall discussing Midway. In the vid, Mr. Parshall is consuming a drink called a "CINCPAC". He said it was a drink Admiral Nimitz had served to his guests.
The recipe is:
1 oz Bourbon
1 oz dark rum
a couple of dashes of Angastoura bitters
a cube of Demirara sugar
lots of ice
I hope I got it right.

On October 12, 1960, a very popular Japanese politician Inejiro Asanuma(62) was stabbed and killed as Japan Socialist Party's General Secretary by a nationalist boy Otoya Yamaguchi(17). The year 1960 was a turning point for the Japanese postwar politics as PM Nobusuke Kishi (Abe's grandfather) renewed the US-Japan Security Treaty as an endless one. He was also stabbed by another nationalist in the year.

Last moments of Kamikazes introduced to the Japanese people in May and November, 1944.

Much respect for Kamikaze pilots! I think almost nothing of their bodies would remain if they were able to hit their target. I mean the explosion, almost disappears their body, something like an infantry soldier being hit by direct artillery fire.
