agreed. besides, most people today likely wouldn't know or care about it anyway.

That's the problem. History repeats itself.

i agree with you there. that's why i think all kids should visit a  holocaust museum, or at least watch schindler's list.




so, how is this flag concept coming along? will the sun rays just continue to the edges of the tank?

Preaching to the choir! I am a high school World History teacher. If I didn't offer the kids a website to get notes and assignments, they would all be completely clueless. I am re-thinking the tank now. We'll see.

    8)  history is awesome.

do whatever floats yer boat; i don't see this idea as an insensitive snub (even though the j. empire was every bit as brutal as their german pals) but the current flag is a reasonable and (aesthetically) attractive choice too. being a wold history teacher maybe you can come up with an obscure japanese symbol for your ride.

I was thinking of going with the Japanese Imperial Flag so the sun is centered around the gas cap. Here is a picture of the flag, use your imagination for the rest.  ;D

ps- This won't offend anyone will it?

Im offended that you are afraid of offending me...
