re: #750 Iron Fist

That was Debt of Honor. I didn’t really enjoy that one too much. The idea of us going to war with a resurgant militaristic Japan is laughable. Clancey did preface it with a bilateral nuclear disarmament between Russia and the US. It was a good example of how nuclear disarmament harms global security, but the plot was too far out for me to be able to give it the “willing suspension of disbelief” necessary for the story to be compelling.

In reality, if Japan did something like this, we could (and hopefully would) depopulate the islands of Japan using thremonuclear drop-bombs from B-2s. And the Japanese know this.

Wasn’t that the same book in which a Boeing 747 is crashed into the Capitol?
