How We Learned To Love the Bomb, and Lost the War:

Okay, this has nothing to do with World War II, but it does have something to do with Japanese success and American failure: Sarah Arnquest briefly interviews John Creighton Campbell, who is something of an expert on the Japanese health care system and explains its superiority to the failed American system.

The key here is that the Japanese seem to care about one another rather than competing.

Back to the bomb for a sec, though. I went through first grade in Los Alamos, N.M., where Dr. Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project did their thing. I remember the bomb shelter plans we were given in school to take home. As an Air Force officer, I was in Strategic Air Command for six years, even did reserve duty at Headquarters SAC near Omaha, Neb. Very cool days. (I miss the pay checks, that's for sure. Sure wish I was getting my retirement pension already).
