If I'm not mistaken the US military occupation of Japan lasted SEVEN YEARS... as in, the Japanese surrendered in late 1945, and the US troops didn't turn over control to a civilian government unti 1952! I don't recall the specific dates for the occupation of Germany, but I'm pretty sure it lasted about as long. The general public these days has no idea what is required of these campaigns -- and I'm worried that our leaders don't really know, either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
