Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Yeah, that one really threw me, assuming correct reporting.

I swear, when they talk about "all enemies foreign and domestic," I sometimes start wondering who-all they're talking about.

I can see various crappy and porky political reasons for some of the other stuff, but jeeze...

Attention, Emperor Hirohito, we have just cracked your Imperial Navy's codes.  Sorry 'bout that.
