    And they want to do this... because everything is better if its done again only this time in Chinese. I guess they are not happy with relying on GPS for their targeting data.

    Quite right, World War 3 will be started by and fought primarily against China and her puppet states.

    You thought Hitler Youth were scary? You haven't seen 500 million Chinese youth, marching in unison like good little robots.

    Hmm, lets see, which other country felt victimized and wounded as a result of being humiliated by foreign powers?

    * Wounded sense of pride - CHECK
    * Belief that their race is superior - CHECK
    * Propaganda state - CHECK
    * Thin skin, prone to sabre rattling - CHECK
    * Rapidly industrializing and arming up - CHECK

    Except this time, its China and not Germany.
