And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Kawanishi was a company obsessed with the concept of flying boats. They did have their place at one point in time - but by the time that the N1K took to the air, the "ship had sailed", so to speak. Their only use turned out to be that of allowing for an easy kill and another zero painted on an American fuselage.
