If they were still made in Belgium, I guess most of us would be satisfied, but having them made here would be great.
There are still hard feelings regarding Japan and the role they played in the Big One. There mistreatment of POW's is my main hang up.
Even though the Japanese do good work, I'm not fond of them being made there for this reason.
I guess that we all carry some resentment for them regarding that. I do.
What I find ironic is that we are proud to own fine German rifles and especially optics.
The Nazi's were just as bad, if not worse, but they didn't have the reputation for mistreating American POW's like the Japanese did.
They just murdered 6 million jews and countless others...
My question is, how long do you carry a grudge against a former enemy who has since been a strong ally?
Some wise & well spoken words there John.
The Japs were cruel to the Aussie POW too. My motto is. Don't let the past become the future. And don't think about yesterday or tomorrow, just the now....
