There's a reason why the P-39's had small creatures with crosses on top of them painted on their fuselages!
 
@skyraider91 Can you tell if the paper is written on a typewriter or printed off a computer? The font screams typewriter, or it could just be old computer. Mostly, I"m kind of impressed that if it was typewritten their is no mistakes or huge eraser smudges.
 
I think Chris's perception of historical events like WWII doesn't go very far beyond: "Um, it was that nasty event where people got angry and killed each other."

EDIT: As for "both sides where happy when it was over" - I don't know about the Japanese, but from what I hear and read the majority of Germans in 1945 were... well, not really "happy" but greatly relieved. I heard old people say: "On the 8th of May, suddenly we heard the church bells ring. And then we all said: Oh my god, it's finally, finally over!"

While we didn't get nuclear bombed, cities like Dresden and Hamburg were nearly completely wiped out by conventional bombing.

The revelation of these papers cloud any questions of Chris being genuinely stupid/serious learning disabilities or just monumentally lazy.

Nah, literally any big city. I mean, it's a different scale than, say, Texas. But that's just the difference between there being entire towns that speak spanish (in Texas), compared to just big neighborhoods speaking spanish (in Maryland, where I am).

Ah, my lack of US knowledge strikes again.

Or in Quebec, there are cities that just speak French, but... some of those areas absolutely hate people who speak English. But The next city over I used to work at a place that did orders of books for libraries and we had more Spanish speaking people there than French (Mind you this is in Ontario) but the next city over seems to have a high German and Spanish population.

All this and Degrassi. Canada truly is a melting pot of people.

I can't believe he has a high school diploma and college degree. Just goes to show those are worthless in the US.

Well the US is a pretty big place. I'd say it shows how worthless a HS/community college degree is in Virginia.

EDIT: since this comes up every now and again with blanket statements about the US, or the people in it...

Sometimes it's a challenge just to find common ground with people in the next state over.

Yea I think so, but I remember in school we had to watch an episode of Degrassi (the old Degrassi) I think for sexual education or something... I don't remember since it was like around 1999 or 2000...

That sounds amazing. I think we had to watch some generic 80's health video.

It was printed off a computer, but on a very old school printer, think late 80's/early 90's computer printer.

You know, it reminds me of where I go to work. See I work at this 4 star hotel (vacuuming hallways, pay's pretty good so I can't complain) and I've seen people speak French stay over and I have two co-workers that speak Chinese (quite loudly I may add). I've heard some Spanish around my work place, but that seems to be the minority in comparison.

I had to watch "The Next Generation" series with my learning center (read as "SpEd class") in Junior High. But we never got anything like that, just shit like rape and theft.

Ok guys, I give up.

I tired to find that one peice from Watchmen of Rorschachs paper on the Japanese war, where he said and I quote "If we did not bomb japan, more people would have died" as a reverse forshadow to what was coming up in the final chapters. I would have compared young Kovacs school paper vs Chris Chans "Oh, everything went all hunkie dorie in the end!" but... I couldent find the page it was on.

Sorry guys, I failed you.

To be fair, that was the whole point for using the atom bombs -- an invasion of Japan would've lead to far, far more casualties -- military and civilian. (On both sides) Truman wanted to end it as quickly as possible.

While this is true, it also exists to serve as an ironic counterpoint to the views of Walter Kovacs, as soon enough he comes face to face with a situation that will kill thousands - but also save the world as they know it.

I would say a bit of both probably but more inclined towards laziness. I don't know if "genuinely stupid" really falls into place here, but a learning disability could certainly be at work. I have worked with autistic students before (and dealing with my own issues) and I have seen that as long as there is a clear goal and a good work ethic, then they could write really good papers for their grade level. This also requires an appropriate amount of material for the student to comprehend as well as having enough information to be a usable source for the topic. So source choice may be a factor as well or he just didn't look very hard. This is why I think that it is more laziness versus intelligence. This paper makes my somewhat lackluster capstone research project look like Nobel Prize material.
