I don’t know enough to have an opinion on this. If he was on Japanese soil and this is the custom for leaders visiting the Japanese emperor then I have no issue. I do not know enough about Japanese customs to know if it is the custom or not. If it was not on Japanese soil then no, I don’t think he should have bowed no mater what there custom.
I agree, we have no need to have this info now. I would much prefer if we received it in a week or two and it was accurate. But what to fill the 24 hour news cycle.
Am I the only one tired of the childish intentional misspelling of names to try and insult? We all had good fun torturing each other with that in grade school but we are not eight any more.
Most of should know that the press right now is just tripping over itself right now trying to outdo each other. The fact checking won’t happen for a couple of days at the soonest. They may even loose interest before that happens.
That may have worked. It is not that easy to get out of the service when you are an officer and in a understaffed job. But yes there are many options short of a killing spree.
But the Army would have had to accept his resignation. Certain jobs they are not likely to do that, I am not sure if it is still true but for a while physiologists were a seriously understaffed position in the military.
A big part of our current problem is deregulation. I have just read a though provoking article from someone that claims our current economic crisis is largely due to three bills.
First the passage of the Depository Institution Deregulation and Monetary Control Act in 1980 under Carter which eliminated the power of the Federal Reserve [under the Glass-Steagall Act and Regulation Q] to set certain interest rate caps, thereby increasing the flow of funds from new depositors of savings and loan associations—making sub-prime lending more feasible.
Second the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act in 1982 under Reagan which removed more controls and regulations, thereby inviting the abuses that would culminate in the S&L crisis.
And finally the signing of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act under Clinton which let banks offer investment and insurance services.
All deregulation, both parties to blame.
