No, I've been hit with a Maglite and been told by folks who've been clubbed with them by Oregon State Police and Portland PD and been told by police officers.
In all honesty, all it does is piss someone off if you hit them with it. Someone swings at you, parry with a forearm at the moment it won't hurt and then they are on you. Honestly go for the night club or the small law enforcement nightsticks, work alot better.

If the Japanese were trying to surrender why did they begin to massivly increase the number of troops in the Japanese Home Islands? From 300,000-700,000 from August 1944 to August 1945 in Kyushu alone.

There was quite a bit of doubt about the American and Commonwealth ability to defeat the Japanese, all the way up to the summer of 1945.
It is my opinion that in China, Malaya and the Japanese Home Islands that the remaining Japanese Military, while strategically out-maneuvered and out-numbered, had not been defeated on a tactical or unit level by time that the planning phase of Downfall began and therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to the forces attacking Kyushu and Singapore. The forces, to be arrayed against the Japanese home islands and Singapore, would take high casualties as well as inflict vast casualties upon the Japanese Military, armed civilians, non-combatants as well as Allied Prisoners of War in Japanese custody.
Throughout the campaigns the United States conducted in late 1944 and early 1945, the Japanese military on the ground showed an increasing ability to judge the American threat correctly. Before the American assault on Okinawa, the Japanese correctly estimated the American ground force size, the size of the American beachheads, the duration in which the Americans would remain in their beachheads, the American breakout tactics, and the focus of the American attack. This is remarkable because, for the most part, no Japanese leaders who encountered American forces in the field after 1943 ever survived to teach lessons to other Japanese staff officers on American tactics and communications between Italy, Japan, and Germany and were limited in this regard.
The Japanese tactic to end the war in a way that was favorable to Japan was to use the Japanese Army and the Japanese people to bleed the American military to the point where it was politically unacceptable to fight further. All the way up to the day after the Hiroshima bombing there were members of the Japanese government's inner circle who advised the Emperor that the Americans were on the verge of defeat.
The Soviet Union declared war on Japan the same day as the first nuclear bombing. It was not political, there was a large Japanese Army in Manchuria of around 800,000 crack troops who had been beating back the 6-8 million Chinese troops who opposed them. The need for the Soviet attack was to pin down that army so they couldn't pull back to the Japanese Home Islands and reinforce the already growing Japanese Forces.

"On the 24th of June 1994, Czar 52, a B-52H assigned to the 325th Bomb Squadron, 92d Bomb Wing, Fairchild Air Force Base, WA, launched at approximate 1358 hours Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), to practice maneuvers for an upcoming airshow. The aircrew had the planned and briefed a profile, through the Wing Commander level, that grossly exceeded aircraft and regulatory limitations. Upon preparing to land at the end of the practice airshow profile, the crew was required to execute a "go-around" or missed approach because of another aircraft on the runway. At mid-field, Czar 52 began a tight 360 degree left turn around the control tower at only 250 feet altitude above ground level (AGL). Approximately three quarters of the way through the turn, the aircraft banked past 90 degrees, stalled, clipped a power line with the left wing and crashed. Impact occurred at approximately 1416 hours PDT. There were no survivors out of a crew of four field grade officers.
Killed in the crash were Lt Col Arthur "Bud" Holland, the Chief of the 92d Bomb Wing Standardization and Evaluation branch. Lt Col Holland, an instructor pilot, was designated as the aircraft commander and was undoubtedly flying the aircraft at the time of the accident. 4 The copilot was Lt Col Mark McGeehan, also an instructor pilot and the 325th Bomb Squadron (BMS) Commander. There is a great deal of evidence that suggests considerable animosity existed between the two pilots who were at the controls of Czar 52..
This was a result of Lt Col McGeehan's unsuccessful efforts to have Bud Holland "grounded" for what he perceived as numerous and flagrant violations of air discipline while flying with 325th BMS aircrews. Colonel Robert Wolff was the Vice Wing Commander and was added to the flying schedule as a safety observer by Col Brooks, the Wing Commander, on the morning of the mishap. This was to be Col Wolff's "fini flight," an Air Force tradition where an aviator is hosed down following his last flight in an aircraft. Upon landing, Col Wolff was to be met on the flightline by his wife and friends for a champagne toast to a successful flying career. The radar navigator position was filled by Lt Col Ken Huston, the 325th BMS Operations Officer."

The problem with Afghanistan is, it has never been going that great there.
Never ever, in many places people can point to how good it was before Colonialism or before trade came through, in Afghanistan, it's always been dodgy. So it's impossable for it to get better over night (which is what 2.5 years is in historical or political science terms).

When I first got Leukemia back in '80, Chicken Pox was a killer.
I was lucky, when I was 5 I got Chicken Pox. When I was 7 I got ALL and we were told that if I'd not had it and was exposed to it in the next 4 to 6 years, I would die from it because of the supressed imune system I had and would have.
Why would American movie-goers be able to tell what Canada looks like?
As for Rumble in the Bronx, it was pretty damned funny to have the mountains in the background, but then that hack Michael Bay did the same thing in Pearl Harbor with California acting as Long Island.
And the other big difference is, the abuses by the Americans in the Iraqi prison will lead to the abusers and thier commanders being stripped of rank, and for the abusers some hard time at Fort Leavenworth Military Prison. Hell Rumsfeld might even go down for it, even though he had no control even if he wanted them on an MP Company in Iraq.
The Japanese, German and Iraqi governments would promote these sorts of folks, or make these sorts of actions military policy. If this was the Imperial Japanese Army c. 1938 operating in Iraq, they'd have already enslaved the girls of Basra to act as comfort women for the soldiers up at Najif.

17.9 GB in my main iTunes dir, 16.8 GB in my More MP3s dir and I've got 6 DVD-Rs of MP3s I've taken off line for the occasional playing.
I leave about 6 gigs free on my iPod for backups and disk images if I'm traveling somewhere and might need to reinstall something.
A 60GB iPod would get me to upgrade.
