That’s what I thought when Trump got elected. I couldn’t wait to hear all the punk, grind, death and hardcore bands turn it up to 11 but damn was I disappointed.
The first one is hilarious. So even if the tank was heading away from Tianemen square, that still means it was there before. How does that make anything better. Just say no one died if you want to lie about it.
There was underlying “people are the real victims of wars”. They cover it as well during some dialogue where someone is recounting how cavalier the government and military had been with human lives. How easy it was for them to throw away lives in their quest for power. I found that it made a universal political and ethical statement without ever picking a side.
EDIT: I watched it in Japanese with subtitles. There have been complaints that the english dub version has a lot of changes that switch the meaning of a scene.
Yeah, it’s a critical piece toward the government at the time. I love that line by the professor about how the Imperial Japanese doesn’t value life, so now it’s the time, and how the guy that blame everything on the MC are now asking him to survive. Both Shin and Minus One is basically calling out the government of the respective era.
In the US the laws vary by state. In Kansas you must:
be 18 years or older
be a US citizen or legal alien (minor problem here)
have a high school diploma or equivalent
take a 60 hour class
pass the Kansas licensing exam
pass a background check
Kansas also has one of the easiest exams in the US. Other states are more strict and have more difficult tests. CA’s test has a pass rate of around 50%. Even the most strict only requires 135 hours of training, though.
