I just watched a video on the YouTube’s of a guy installing a shift light on his motorcycle.
He crimped a fork terminal on the end of a wire and slid it in parallel to the system power fuse.
Mind you, the fork terminal made contact on both sides of the fuse……

Remembering Ernest E. West - National Medal of Honor Museum
Ernest E. West, who passed away on May 1, 2021, was one of four, now three, remaining recipients of the Medal of Honor from the Korean War. A native of rural Kentucky, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and distinguished himself in combat on October 12, 1952, when he accompanied a combat patrol...

Ummm, soft tacos. Why do you think the Indians invented the hard taco? Hmmm?
Notice that most of the structures are not hit , but everything around them,lol. That was one expensive bombing run with not so good results.
That's a fine looking pot roast
Id disagree. Looks like a rail yard and maybe runway were the targets. Those look inoperable.
I wonder if he realizes he just turned that 7.5amp fuse into probably a 50+amp fuse.......LOL
I don’t think that’s a runway, look up a little further in the middle of crators its all grass, that would be a mighty short runway. And railway tracks can get repaired fast. What does not get replaced fast is the buildings that produce what the railways are either bringing in or transporting out. Or I just don’t see shit nowadays with my vision and your completely correct. Successful mission maybe maybe not, I’m no expert looking at the photo.
It definitely looks like a runway. If you look at the top of the photo you can see where it continues on out of frame. If you look at the craters they are all filled in, mud or water. This photo was taken long after the attack and any grass would have had plenty of time to grow.
And you would hit the rail yards first. If they can’t transport whatever was on the trains then they can’t use it to fight with. You come back latter and destroy it in place.
As far as no good results, whatever this place was it was obviously out of service permanently since it wasn’t rebuilt
I can tell by your comments that you’ve never had to bomb anything. There wasn’t any GPS or Laser guidance, no CCIP. They were flying unpressurized planes with analog bomb sights on level attacks all while dealing with fighters an flak. And it was formation bombing, just the lead ship would calculate the drop point
It was considered a good mission if the loss rate was less then 10%. On the big 1,000 aircraft raids that’s 100 planes, 1,000 men. And they flew every day the weather was good enough to fly. These crews had some serious stones and did an excellent job
We should show some respect.
I tried to do some digging but couldn't find a specific answer about what was bombed and why. The picture showed up in some articles about Hiroshima but that could just be journalists using a stock image.
I noticed that it looks there might have been something in the most heavily hit areas. Perhaps it was in fact a very successful bombing and whatever they were aiming it is just flat gone.
What caused this cratering pattern at Hiroshima?
I was reading this article here, which includes an interesting photo of Hiroshima: The caption on the photo indicates that it was taken three weeks after the atomic bomb was dropped. The photo se...

But this is not the one of Hiroshima after the A-Bomb. This photo was taken from above Iwakuni city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, after the bombardment in Aug 14 1945 (which is called "Iwakuni air raid" in Japan).
There is another photo of exact the same place and you can see it in Wikimedia Commons.
The description says that was "The Marifu Rail Yards, 2 miles east of Iwakuni, and 2 miles south of Otake, Japan, after the bombing raid of August 1945 by B-29 Superforts of the 21st Bomber Command."
"Marifu" (麻里布) is the former name of Iwakuni Station.
Because they were not the target.
Knocking down a few structures won't prevent an enemy air force from operating. Taking out their runway will. That's why cluster bombs were developed (this was much earlier).
And we know better than to post video of our legally “grey area” shenanigans on social media.
A shift light on a Harley???? Why? That tractor sounds like finely tuned precision machine
I'd say they got their point across alright. Might have been my great uncle that helped make it.

One is anger and hate the other is excitement...you posted excitement. There's a big difference, which I'm sure you'll attempt to argue...it will be rebutted with the ignore button.
If you don’t see the difference, you must be a liberal!
Because Trump never told his crowd to knock the crap out of anyone, right?
*edited to correct the quote
When, EXACTLY did Trump incite violence? Be very specific, reply with actual facts, not liberal talking points and feelings.
I'm sure when he did it, he wasn't demonizing half the country.
