Last time we spoke about the breakthrough on Okinawa. Despite relentless attacks on critical positions like Sugar Loaf Hill and Wana Ridge, American Marines encountered heavy casualties. Yet, they persisted, inching forward against tenacious resistance. As mid-May approached, the situation for Japanese commanders deteriorated. Encircled and suffering significant losses, they began plotting a retreat to more defensible positions. On the ground, Marines battled through mud and enemy fire, showcasing incredible resolve amidst dire circumstances. Communication crumbled, supplies dwindled, and morale waned, yet the determination of both sides was undeniable. By late May, the tides shifted further in favor of the Allies, marking pivotal breakthroughs despite the challenges. Amidst ruin and chaos, the relentless struggle for control over Okinawa symbolized the brutal nature of war and the unwavering spirit of those fighting on both sides, setting the stage for an eventual Allied victory.  This episode is the Fall of Shuri Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

General Buckner's 10th Army had made significant gains, successfully breaking through the fortified Japanese defenses on both flanks. The 6th Marine Division, under General Shepherd, had effectively established control over the Naha area, while General Arnold's 7th Division achieved an impressive penetration at Yonabaru. However, despite these advancements, the remainder of the American forces faced formidable obstacles. They were grappling with relentless rain, fierce enemy resistance, and severe supply shortages, which left them effectively stalled in front of Shuri. In response to the encroaching American forces, General Ushijima had dispatched General Fujioka's 62nd Division to launch a counter-offensive aimed at driving the invaders out of Yonabaru. Meanwhile, Ushijima was preparing his 32nd Army for a strategic withdrawal south to the Kiyamu Peninsula. Fortunately for the Americans, they had caught wind of the defenders' intentions. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, on May 27, General Buckner ordered his troops to apply strong and unrelenting pressure on the enemy. The goal was clear: keep the Japanese forces off balance and prevent an easy transition to new defensive positions. Although the continuing downpour hindered the possibility of a large-scale, coordinated army-wide attack, it did not deter Buckner's strategy. Instead, he initiated a series of strong combat patrols along the front lines, which immediately encountered stiff resistance from Japanese troops that had not yet begun their withdrawal. On the west coast, as patrols from Colonel Roberts' 22nd Marines scouted the area, they discovered that the Japanese had largely abandoned Naha. This news spurred the 2nd Battalion into action. They crossed the Asato River, moved through the lines established by Shepherd's Reconnaissance Company, and pressed deeper into the western part of Naha. Simultaneously, Colonel Shapley's 4th Marines made their last desperate push to extend American control into eastern Naha, fighting valiantly against the entrenched enemy. Farther east, Colonel Finn's 32nd Regiment once again faced fierce resistance from the hastily committed 62nd Division, which staunchly defended its position. However, not all was lost; patrols from Colonel Green's 184th Regiment managed to reach Inasomi, meeting only scattered resistance. This breakthrough provided a crucial indication that the enemy had no intention of withdrawing into the Chinen Peninsula. As the clocks struck midnight, a significant yet largely unnoticed transition occurred in the waters off Okinawa: Admiral Halsey's 3rd Fleet relieved Admiral Spruance's 5th Fleet. For the troops ashore, this change in command went by without a hint of recognition. The same ships and task groups continued their crucial support for ground operations, now operating under new numerical designations and leadership. However, Halsey faced an immediate challenge as Admiral Ugaki launched an extensive Kikisui attack, a large-scale kamikaze assault involving 110 enemy aircraft. The day of May 27 proved costly, with three destroyers, one destroyer minesweeper, two transports, one subchaser, and two auxiliary ships all suffering damage. The following morning brought clear skies, which only heightened the danger for American naval forces. Several kamikaze aircraft succeeded in sinking the destroyer USS Drexler, while also inflicting damage on a transport ship, three freighters, and a landing craft throughout the day. Meanwhile, on land, Colonel Whaling's rehabilitated 29th Marines took over from the battered 4th Marines along the west coast. The 1st Battalion executed a concerted attack alongside the 22nd Marines, advancing successfully by 250 yards through the rubble-strewn city of Naha. In an impressive display of momentum, Roberts' men pushed forward unopposed toward the Kokuba estuary, eventually encountering resistance near Ono-Yama Island. To the east, the improvement in weather allowed Colonel Mason's 1st Marines to launch a coordinated offensive. The 2nd Battalion fought valiantly, climbing to the peak of 110 Meter Hill. The forward elements of Company E gained the hill crest but were forced to withdraw by vicious enemy fire which raked their positions. Lieutenant Colonel Magee felt that his depleted battalion, down to a total strength of 277 men in the rifle companies, might recapture the hill, but "it could not possibly hold it against a strong enemy counterattack." Although new replacements were available to regiments for training or other use, a division order prevented their being sent to front line units during a battle situation that called for the utmost in skill and knowledge of veterans. Throughout most of the morning and all of the afternoon, 2/1 concentrated the fire of its supporting weapons on the reverse slopes of 110 Meter Hill and engaged the Japanese in a fierce and continuous fire fight. Nightfall brought no cessation of enemy resistance, and many infiltrators were killed in the battalion's lines. In contrast, the 3rd Battalion experienced relatively little opposition, allowing some patrols to penetrate into Wana Draw. At the same time, Colonel Griebel's 3rd Battalion effectively moved its front line to the Asato River, while his 1st Battalion achieved a significant milestone by capturing Beehive Hill. However, despite the break in the rain, the conditions on the ground rendered large-scale movements impractical, stalling further advances across the battlefield. Despite Arnold's determined efforts to push west through Fujioka's blocking positions, progress was minimal. Nevertheless, he was able to consolidate his grip on the Ozato hill mass as Green's 2nd Battalion advanced to a position within 1,000 yards of Shinazato, strategically located at the neck of the Chinen Peninsula. The lack of success from the 62nd Division in driving back the breaching American forces reinforced General Ushijima's resolve to evacuate Shuri while the opportunity still existed. In light of this, he ordered the withdrawal to commence the following evening. On May 29, while the 7th Reconnaissance Troop managed to scout a significant portion of the Chinen Peninsula without incident, the 7th and 96th Divisions faced fierce resistance as they attacked toward the road network south of Shuri. The enemy's resolute defense resulted in only minimal gains for the American assault units. General Bruce's 77th Division, after what can be described as "a day almost entirely spent in hand-to-hand combat," found itself unable to penetrate the intense cordon of defensive fire that protected the Japanese positions. In stark contrast, to the west, Griebel's 1st Battalion made a rapid advance, quickly gaining the crest of Shuri Ridge. They launched a bold assault on Shuri Castle. On May 25, as part of the final stages of the Okinawa campaign, the American battleship USS Mississippi bombarded the castle for three days, and by May 27, it was engulfed in flames. That night, the Japanese forces retreated, abandoning Shuri while US troops pursued them southward. The 1st Battalion of the 5th Marines had started its attack on 29 May with Companies B and C in assault and Company A following in trace of Company C. The Marines quickly gained the crest of Shuri Ridge and Lieutenant Colonel Shelburne requested permission for one of his companies to storm Shuri Castle which commanded his position. Although the castle was in the zone of action of the 77th Infantry Division, General del Valle gave his assent to the request in view of the great danger of enemy action from the strong point. The 1st Marine Division commander felt that "at that time the position of the 77th Division was such that it would have taken several hard day's fighting through enemy resistance" before the castle could be taken. Company A drove east along the muddy ridge line, overwhelming the few Japanese in its path, and by 1015 the castle, core of the Shuri bastion, had been secured. The Marine unit entered Shuri through a gap in the covering forces caused by the withdrawal of the 3d Battalion, 15th Independent Mixed Regiment of the 44th Independent Mixed Brigade, in the course of the Japanese retreat from Shuri. This seems to have been the only notable instance of confusion and mistake in the Japanese withdrawal operation as a whole. Everywhere else around Shuri the Japanese still held their covering positions in the front lines. The 77th Division, which had scheduled air strikes and a heavy artillery bombardment on the castle heights for 29 May, received little prior warning of the Marines' assault and "was barely able to avert [its] called strikes in time." Without taking any credit away from Company A of the 5th Marines for its feat of capturing Shuri Castle, its success was clearly the result of the combined effort of all the assault and support troops of Tenth Army which had maintained relentless pressure on the enemy defenses and paved the way for the breakthrough.  Capitalizing on this momentum, General Del Valle swiftly reorganized his forces to bypass Wana Draw and consolidate these crucial gains. Meanwhile, Griebel's 3rd Battalion maneuvered down the division boundary, reaching a position just 2,000 yards from the village of Kokuba, prompting Whaling's 3rd Battalion to push their lines forward by approximately 600 yards. In a coordinated effort, the 29th Marines executed a wheeling assault on 29 May with 1/29 pivoting on 3/29 and attacking south and then east to bring the regiment on line with the 22d Marines. The ultimate objective of the 1st Battalion's attack was the high ground northwest of Shichina. The approach to the objective was over low and open terrain which drew the comment from regiment that it was "about as suitable to fighting as a billiard table." Fire from strong points in tombs and caves on the small hills and ridges to the front kept the advance to a slow pace, and the assault companies, A and C, dug in slightly to the left rear of the positions of the 22d Marines at nightfall. On another front, Roberts' 1st Battalion successfully crossed the Kokuba River and advanced toward Telegraph Hill in east Naha. However, despite their efforts, intense fighting erupted throughout the day without yielding any significant gains. Back at sea, the threat of kamikaze attacks returned with ferocity, yet this time, American defenses held strong, resulting in only a single destroyer and one transport sustaining damage. As night fell, the Japanese began their long-anticipated withdrawal. General Amamiya's 24th Division commenced disengagement, moving southward while leaving a small force, including the 22nd Independent Battalion, to cover their retreat at Shuri. Meanwhile, General Suzuki's 44th Independent Mixed Brigade held their defensive lines outside Naha, and the 62nd Division maintained its positions near Chan and Karadera. By dawn on May 30, the bulk of the 32nd Army had successfully evacuated the Shuri lines, slipping away from the flanking maneuvers of Buckner's 10th Army. Thanks to a continuous curtain of rain, General Ushijima executed a meticulously planned "properly deft withdrawal." His covering forces were strategically positioned to provide him with the necessary time to organize a defensive stance on the Kiyamu Peninsula. However, the Americans, ever vigilant, were quick to capitalize on the enemy's disarray, maintaining relentless pressure on the faltering Japanese front. On the west coast, Roberts' 2nd and 3rd Battalions crossed the canal, seamlessly moving through the 1st Battalion to take up the assault. They pushed forward tenaciously until they captured the entire area encompassing Telegraph Hill and Hill 27. A network of Japanese machine gun positions hidden in the clusters of tombs on the low hills to the Marines' front made progress slow and costly. Enemy machine guns emplaced in burial tombs on Hill 27 in east Naha temporarily checked the infantry. Heavy sniper fire whipped the lines and killed Lieutenant Colonel Woodhouse of 2/22 who was forward controlling his battalion's attack. Major John G. Johnson, the executive officer, took command immediately and continued a steady pressure. During most of the day tanks were unable to reach the position, but in the afternoon three worked their way along the road north of the hill, and their direct fire enabled the marines to seize it. The advance consisted of a series of local assaults and mop-up actions that brought the battalion to secure hill positions overlooking the Kokuba Estuary and the rail line leading to the north by nightfall. Lieutenant Colonel Shisler's 3d Battalion passed through 1/22 during the morning's attack and behind a screen of artillery, mortars, naval gunfire, and rockets drove onto the high ground at the eastern outskirts of Naha. By means of a series of holding attacks and flank assaults, Shisler was able to move his companies into the maze of enemy defenses where close quarter grenade and small-arms exchanges decided the issue. Once the dominating ground was won, the battalion was subjected to intense artillery and mortar fire. At the same time, Whaling's 1st Battalion joined the offensive, encountering fierce resistance as they pressed through 600 yards of enemy territory. To the east, the Marines under Del Valle shifted their focus to vigorous patrolling, as the supply situation gradually improved thanks to dedicated carrying parties and aerial air drops. Despite their efforts, the 306th Regiment's assault on 110 Meter Hill encountered heavy opposition once again. However, Colonel Hamilton's 307th Regiment finally achieved a breakthrough, seizing the strategic Three Sisters. Dorothy Hill, a fortress directly east of Shuri and a tower of strength in the enemy's inner line for the past two weeks, was attacked by the 3d Battalion, 307th Infantry, 77th Division. The first platoon to reach the base of the hill was pinned down by heavy fire, the platoon leader and all noncommissioned officers being wounded. Other platoons maneuvered into position and finally one squad reached the crest at the right end. This entering wedge enabled two companies to reach the top, from which they discovered three levels of caves on the reverse slope. They went to work methodically, moving from right to left along the top level, burning and blasting each cave and dugout, the flame-thrower and satchel-charge men covered by riflemen. When work on the top level was finished, the second level of caves and tunnels received similar treatment, and then the third and lowest level. That night fifteen Japanese who had survived the day's fighting crawled out of the blasted caves and were killed by Americans from their foxholes. A great amount of enemy equipment, including ten destroyed 150-mm- guns and twenty-five trucks, was found on the south (reverse) side of Dorothy Hill, testifying to the enemy fire power at this strong point. On 30 May, the 77th Division also took Jane Hill on its left flank and then almost unopposed took Tom Hill, the highest point of ground in the Shuri area, by 1700. This critical victory paved the way for Colonel Smith's forces to advance into the northern outskirts of Shuri through Ishimmi. In a remarkable display of coordination, Colonel Dill's 382nd Regiment finally secured the strategic Hen Hill and Oboe Hill areas, while also capturing Hector Hill on their left flank. For nine days elements of the 96th Division had been stalemated at the base of Hen Hill, just northeast of Shuri. On the 30th, Company F and one platoon of Company G, 382d Infantry, resumed the attack on Hen Hill. Pfc. Clarence B. Craft, a rifleman from Company G, was sent out ahead with five companions to test the Japanese positions. As he and his small group started up the slope, they were brought under heavy fire from Japanese just over the crest, and a shower of grenades fell on them. Three of the men were wounded and the other two were stopped. Craft, although a new replacement and in his first action, kept on going, tossing grenades at the crest. From just below the crest he threw two cases of grenades that were passed up to him from the bottom, those of the enemy going over his head or exploding near him. He then leaped to the crest and fired at point-blank range into the Japanese in a trench a few feet below him. Spurred by Craft's example, other men now came to his aid. Reloading, Craft pursued the Japanese down the trench, wiped out a machine gun nest, and satchel-charged the cave into which the remaining Japanese had retreated. Altogether, in the taking of Hen Hill as a result of Craft's action, about seventy Japanese were killed, at least twenty-five of whom were credited to Craft himself. This daring action won him the Congressional Medal of Honor. To the left (east), Company F at the same time engaged in a grenade battle for Hector Hill, using ten cases of grenades in the assault on the crest. It was finally won after a satchel charge was hurled over the top and lit in the enemy trench on the other side, parts of Japanese bodies and pieces of enemy equipment hurtling into the sky in the blast. Hen and Hector Hills had fallen by 1400. Southeast of their position, Colonel May's 2d Battalion, 383d Infantry, reached Love Hill and dug in, although scattered fire was still received from a machine gun in a nook of Charlie Hill and there were a few live Japanese on Love itself. In the afternoon the 3d Battalion, 383d Infantry, left its foxholes on Oboe, where it had experienced so great an ordeal, and proceeded down the reverse slope of the hill, finding only a few scattered Japanese. That night the 383d Infantry expressed a heartfelt sentiment when it reported "infinite relief to have Conical Hill behind us." Although there had been suicidal stands in a few places by the last of the holding force, the advances had been rapid. Simultaneously, Colonel Halloran's 381st Regiment effectively reduced the Conical Hill-Cutaway area and seized Roger Hill, both regiments then advancing toward the vital Naha-Yonabaru road. At the same time, the 32nd Regiment launched a coordinated offensive that allowed them to successfully capture Oak, Ella, and June Hills. This advance brought Finn's troops directly into confrontation with Mabel and Hetty Hills, facing the formidable defenses of Chan. Meanwhile, strong patrols from the 184th Regiment ventured into the Chinen Peninsula's strongholds, encountering only light enemy resistance, a turn of events that buoyed American morale. As night fell, the 44th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 24th Division began their long-anticipated evacuation from Shuri. They pulled back behind the second line of blocking positions north of Tsukasan, executing their withdrawal amidst a progressively decreasing barrage of artillery and mortar fire. Consequently, when Buckner's assault troops launched their offensive against the Shuri positions on the morning of May 31, they were met with an eerie silence, the stillness only interrupted by sporadic sniper fire and the distant crack of machine guns.The 77th Division swiftly took 110 Meter Hill and advanced into Shuri with little to no resistance. Concurrently, Mason's units surrounding Shuri Castle moved north unopposed, aiding in the occupation of the battered ruins and the troublesome Wana Draw.  Shuri, the second town of Okinawa, lay in utter ruin. There was no other city, town, or village in the Ryukyus that had been destroyed so completely. Naha too had been laid waste. Certain villages which had been strong points in the enemy's defense, such as Kakazu, Dakeshi, Kochi, Arakachi, and Kunishi, had been fought over and leveled to the ground. But none of these compared with the ancient capital of the Ryukyus. It was estimated that about 200000 rounds of artillery and naval gunfire had struck Shuri. Numerous air strikes had dropped 1000-pound bombs on it. Mortar shells by the thousands had arched their way into the town area. Only two structures, both of concrete, the big normal school at the southwestern corner and the little Methodist church, built in 1937, in the center of Shuri, had enough of their walls standing to form silhouettes on the skyline. The rest was flattened rubble. The narrow paved and dirt streets, churned by high explosives and pitted with shell craters, were impassable to any vehicle. The stone walls of the numerous little terraces were battered down. The rubble and broken red tile of the houses lay in heaps. The frame portion of buildings had been reduced to kindling wood. Tattered bits of Japanese military clothing, gas masks, and tropical helmets-the most frequently seen items-and the dark-colored Okinawan civilian dress lay about in wild confusion. Over all this crater of the moon landscape hung the unforgettable stench of rotting human flesh. To  the west, Griebel's 1st Battalion built upon Mason's gains, but it was the 3rd Battalion that led the main effort, successfully pushing to the hills just north of Shichina.Meanwhile, General Bradley's advancing battalions moved rapidly toward their assigned objectives, spending much of the day mopping up isolated enemy holdouts. This relentless advance effectively pinched off the 77th Division, further consolidating American control in the region. On the extreme left flank, Halloran's 1st Battalion faced enemy forces defending the Tsukasan line, marking the only area where the 96th Division failed to reach the corps boundary. However, the Shuri area had now been completely secured, and contact was made with Del Valle's Marines in the center. On the flanks, though, Buckner's units continued to encounter fierce resistance from the tenacious Japanese defenders. The 32nd Regiment, battling bravely through a series of heavily fortified strongpoints held stubbornly by Fujioka's troops, managed to seize Duck Hill, consolidate its positions on Turkey Hill, and capture the forward face of Mabel. Ultimately, they halted their advance just short of Chan. Meanwhile, on the west coast, Shepherd's Marines pushed forward with support from tanks and artillery, targeting the strategic high ground west of Shichina and Kokuba. However, their advance was stalled by intense enemy fire emanating from Hill 46. During the night, the battered 44th Independent Mixed Brigade executed a withdrawal southeast towards the Kiyamu Peninsula, covered by the 62nd Division, which quickly established a new defensive line along the Kokuba River and around Tsukasan. With the fall of Shuri and the withdrawal of Japanese forces, Buckner's troops had emerged victorious in one of the most difficult and bloody battles of the Pacific War. By the end of May, reports indicated that approximately 62,548 Japanese soldiers had been confirmed killed, with another estimated 9,529 thought to have perished, 64,000 of whom were believed to have fallen in the fierce fighting within the Shuri fortified zone alone. While these casualty figures may be somewhat exaggerated, there is little doubt that Japanese forces, especially their infantry combat units, had suffered severe depletion. In contrast, General Geiger's 3rd Amphibious Corps recorded significant losses of its own, with 1,718 killed, 8,852 wounded, and 101 missing during the fighting around Shuri. Additionally, the losses for General Hodge's 24th Corps over two months of combat totaled an alarming 26,044 casualties. On June 1, the American forces faced surprisingly little opposition from the enemy. A frustrated General Buckner, who had hoped to trap the defenders at Shuri, ordered his troops to advance rapidly in pursuit of the retreating Japanese units. With the 77th Division methodically mopping up remnants in the Shuri zone, General Hodge made a strategic decision. He shifted the 7th Division toward the east and ordered the 96th Division to move south to relieve the 32nd Regiment, taking up the western end of the Corps line. This strategic relief enabled Arnold to immediately push south with both the 17th and 184th Regiments in assault, managing to advance approximately 1,100 yards toward Okota and Batan despite increasingly stiff resistance from smaller enemy units. To the northwest, a coordinated attack by the Marine divisions successfully secured all high ground overlooking the primary east-west road in the Kokuba Valley. The 5th Marines anchored their position on the hills east of Shichina, while Shepherd's regiments seized the dominating heights north of Kokuba. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Oroku Peninsula, General Geiger planned a shore-to-shore landing there. To gather intelligence, Shepherd dispatched his Reconnaissance Company to conduct an amphibious reconnaissance of the peninsula that evening. Their findings confirmed that the peninsula was not fortified with significant enemy strength. The following day, Colonel Snedeker's 7th Marines advanced to relieve the 6th Marine Division on the west coast. The 2nd Battalion continued the momentum by crossing the Kokuba River, moving into the hills on the south bank. Meanwhile, to the east, the 5th Marines also crossed the upper branch of the river and pressed forward to secure the ridgeline that controlled the approaches to Tsukasan. This maneuver effectively placed the entire Naha-Yonabaru road firmly in American hands, further tightening their grip on the battlefield. That evening, Shepherd dispatched his Reconnaissance Company to conduct an amphibious reconnaissance of the Oroku Peninsula. Their mission revealed that the peninsula was not heavily defended, opening up opportunities for American forces. Further east, the 383rd Regiment successfully cleared out Chan and seized the high ground just north of Tera and Kamizato. Meanwhile, the 381st Regiment conducted repeated assaults on hill positions that impeded its advance, ultimately managing to penetrate to Karadera. The 7th Division maintained relentless pressure on the retreating garrison of the Chinen Peninsula, advancing its lines by 2,400 yards toward Itokazu and Kerabaru. Now, it's time to shift our focus away from Okinawa and examine the latest operations of General LeMay's 21st Bomber Command. Since the invasion of Okinawa, Admiral Nimitz had requested that the B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers assist his naval forces in countering the deadly kamikaze attacks. In response, LeMay dispatched 53 bombers to target airfields at Kanoya on April 8, although the city of Kagoshima ended up being bombed instead. On April 17, 134 B-29s were sent against Kyushu, successfully neutralizing enemy airfield operations for 18 hours. However, as we've observed, the Japanese continued to launch both scattered and mass kamikaze attacks. To address this ongoing threat, the 21st Bomber Command, bolstered by the arrival of Brigadier General Roger Ramey's 58th Bombardment Wing, dedicated 75% of its combat effort to providing direct tactical support for the Okinawa campaign up to May 11. During this period, they flew a total of 2,104 sorties against 17 airfields in Kyushu and Shikoku. Although they did not fully neutralize these targets, significant damage was inflicted on enemy storage, maintenance, and repair facilities. The bombers also served to keep the Japanese off balance, significantly disrupting their ability to plan and execute large, coordinated attacks. In total, 24 B-29s were destroyed and 233 damaged during these operations, while 134 enemy interceptors were shot down. Between the strikes on Kyushu, General LeMay managed to fit in several medium-strength precision attacks against the Japanese aircraft industry, along with two large-scale night incendiary missions in the Tokyo Bay area. The first of these missions took place on April 13, when 327 B-29s dropped an impressive 2,139 tons of ordnance on the arsenal district of Tokyo, located northwest of the Imperial Palace. The resulting fires consumed 11.4 square miles of this crucial industrial zone, destroying arsenal plants responsible for manufacturing and storing small arms, machine guns, artillery, bombs, gunpowder, and fire-control mechanisms. Just two nights later, on April 15, 303 bombers executed another incendiary attack, dropping 1,930 tons of explosives with equal success. This raid devastated 6 square miles in Tokyo, 3.6 square miles in Kawasaki, and 1.5 square miles in Yokohama, which suffered collateral damage from the fire spills. Cumulatively, these two raids resulted in the destruction of 217,130 buildings in Tokyo and Yokohama and 31,603 in Kawasaki. On April 24, 131 B-29s conducted a highly successful precision strike against the Tachikawa plant of the Hitachi Aircraft Corporation. Although the next planned attack was thwarted by inclement weather, 148 B-29s struck Kure on May 5, delivering devastating damage. After being relieved from support for the Okinawa operation on May 11, LeMay initiated a month of heavy fire raids to complete the campaign that had begun in March, while also addressing top-priority precision targets as opportunities arose. Accordingly, on May 14, 529 B-29s were dispatched to strike northern Nagoya, with 472 successfully dropping 2,515 tons of munitions, resulting in the burning of 3.15 square miles and inflicting significant damage to Mitsubishi's No. 10 engine works. Just two nights later, 522 bombers returned to Nagoya, with 457 of them effectively delivering 3,609 tons over the dock and industrial areas in the southern part of the city, burning 3.82 square miles and causing extensive damage to Mitsubishi's No. 5 aircraft works. These two incendiary attacks finished Nagoya as an objective for area attacks. Good targets remained in the city, and the command was to return six more times for precision attacks before V-J Day. But the industrial fabric of the city had been ruined in the earlier precision attacks and in the fire raids that had burned out twelve square miles of a total built-up urban area of about forty square miles. In all, 113460 buildings had been destroyed, 3866 persons had been killed and 472701 rendered homeless. The displacement of workers aggravated the difficulties caused by physical damage and had an important effect on civilian morale.  After a week of respite, temporarily interrupted by a 318-plane precision attack on the Tachikawa Aircraft Company, 562 B-29s were dispatched to strike Tokyo once more on May 23. Out of these, 520 bombers reached their target, dropping an impressive 3,646 tons of explosives over the district stretching southward from the Imperial Palace along the west side of Tokyo Harbor. Despite encountering strong opposition, this attack resulted in the destruction of 5.3 square miles of area. Two nights later, 502 B-29s returned to Tokyo, targeting the area just north of their previous hit. They faced heavy resistance again, dropping 3,262 tons of incendiaries on the city, which resulted in the destruction of 16.8 square miles, marking the largest area devastated in a single Tokyo raid. In light of the heavy casualties suffered during these last two strikes, General LeMay decided to assign P-51s from Iwo Jima to escort future attacks. As a result, on May 29, 517 B-29s were escorted by 101 P-51 fighters during an assault on Yokohama. These bombers successfully dropped 2,570 tons of munitions, burning out 6.9 square miles while the escorting fighters engaged in fierce battles against about 150 aggressive interceptors. Meanwhile, General Whitehead's 5th Air Force was conducting an extensive program of area bombing against Formosa, experimenting with various types of bombs and tactics in preparation for future attacks on the Japanese mainland. Taihoku, the capital and political and financial center of Taiwan, was subjected to constant aerial bombardment. The largest strike against modern-day Taipei, known as the Taihoku Air Raid, occurred on May 31, when units of the Fifth Air Force consisting of 117 Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bombers were sent to conduct the largest air raid ever on Taiwan. The bombing began from around ten o'clock in the morning and lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, during which the attack was non-stop. The Americans met virtually no resistance from the Japanese, mainly due to the attrition the Japanese air forces had suffered in the Aerial Battle of Taiwan-Okinawa, which completely exhausted Japan's fighter units in Taiwan. They successfully dropped approximately 3,800 bombs targeting military units and governmental facilities. The Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan suffered a direct hit, in spite of the building being heavily camouflaged to avoid being targeted. The building suffered extensive damage from fire caused by the bombs and almost collapsed on itself; it was rendered unoccupiable and was not repaired until the Nationalist Chinese takeover. Other facilities hit during the bombing included the residence of the Assistant Governor-General, Taiwan Railway Hotel, Office of Governor-General Library, Army Headquarters, Taihoku Imperial University, Taihoku Station, Bank of Taiwan, Taihoku High Court, Taihoku New Park, and many other facilities. Many civilian installations were damaged, including Taihoku Prefectural Taihoku First Girls' High School, Huashan Catholic Church of Taihoku, and the famous Lungshan Temple of Manka, which was hit in the main building and the left corridor; many precious artifacts and art works in the temple were lost in the ensuing fire. As a result of the extensive bombing campaigns, more than 3,000 civilians lost their lives. Tens of thousands were displaced or left homeless, and countless buildings were destroyed, either directly by the attacks or by the fires they ignited. This devastation left a profound impact on the local population and infrastructure, marking yet another tragic chapter in the toll of the war.

In the midst of the brutal Battle of Okinawa, American Marines faced relentless resistance as they pushed towards Shuri. Despite heavy casualties and daunting conditions, the tide turned when General Buckner ordered aggressive assaults that outmaneuvered the encircled Japanese forces. After days of relentless combat, they captured the stronghold, leading to the collapse of Japanese defenses. As the dust settled, Shuri lay in ruins, marking a pivotal moment in the Pacific War and showcasing the indomitable spirit of both American and Japanese soldiers.

Last time we spoke about the fall of Ormoc. The Japanese prepared their Wa offensive as General Arnold's troops advanced toward Ormoc. On December 5, American forces engaged in fierce fighting for Hills 918 and 380, facing entrenched enemy positions. By December 6, Japanese troops launched a surprise attack on American camps, but a swift counteroffensive from General Swift helped reclaim the Buri airfield. Despite initial gains, poor weather hindered Japanese reinforcements, allowing American forces to stabilize their positions and push back the enemy. Then the 148th battalion launched an attack on Buri. The advancing American troops faced fierce Japanese resistance, with intense battles over strategic locations like the San Pablo airstrip and Hill 380. Despite setbacks, forces rallied, utilizing effective tactics to outmaneuver the enemy. As reinforcements arrived, the Americans secured critical positions and engaged fiercely in Ormoc, leading to significant Japanese losses. The capture of Ormoc disrupted enemy supply lines, marking a pivotal victory that forced the Japanese to keep sending troops into a deteriorating situation.

At Buri, following a half-hour of concentrated artillery fire, the 1st Battalion of the 149th Regiment launched a final assault that swiftly cleared the airstrip and eliminated the enemy paratrooper forces. Later that evening, the 3rd Battalion of the 13th Independent Regiment arrived in the area in a disorganized state after a challenging march, and with their last reserves of strength, they attacked Burauen town.  At 19:30 the Japanese launched their final concentrated attack against the airfields. They began to fire at the administration buildings of the Fifth Air Force, and some of the bullets went through the plywood walls of the house of Maj. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead. "The General ducked a bullet, ordered someone to find out who the blankety-blank was responsible and that he'd blankety-blank better stop or think up a blankety-blank good reason." The air force personnel were pushed back until they reached the hospital, where they halted and held. They then counterattacked and drove the enemy away from the area. The Japanese left thirty of their dead behind them. This marked the retreat of the surviving Japanese forces, indicating the conclusion of the battle for the airstrips. Meanwhile, General Arnold's 7th Division continued its limited offensive through the challenging mountainous terrain, with the 17th and 184th Regiments reaching Malitbog by the end of the day. To the north, General Cunningham's 2nd Squadron, which had been engaged with the bulk of the 102nd Division, was finally relieved by the 2nd Squadron of the 7th Cavalry, initiating their westward movement to rejoin the rest of the regiment at the Leyte River. There, the 126th and 127th Regiments struggled to breach the defenses of the 1st Regiment, while the 5th and 12th Cavalry Regiments made slow progress through the mountains towards Mount Cabungaan, effectively bypassing the Mount Pina position.  In the process of reducing the Japanese-held area, it was estimated that an enemy force of 500 to 600 men had been wiped out. From 28 November to 9 December, the 12th Cavalry remained in the Mt. Badian and Hill 2348 sector, sent out westward patrols, and slowly moved westward. On 10 December, General Sibert decided to have elements of the 1st Cavalry Division debouch from the mountains onto Highway 2 south of the 32d Division and in the Lonoy area. This move was to be concurrent with the expected advance of the 32d Division down the highway. The 1st Squadron, 12th Cavalry, was in the vicinity of Mt. Cabungaan, and the 2d Squadron, on Hill 2348, was 2,000 yards northeast of the 1st Squadron. An enemy strong point existed to the north of the perimeter of the 1st Squadron. The 12th Cavalry spent 10 December in making preparations for a two-squadron assault against this enemy force. The plan was for the 1st Squadron to attack at 0830 while the 2d Squadron from Hill 2348 supported the attack by enveloping the left flank of the enemy. In furtherance of this plan Troop E of the 2d Squadron moved off Hill 2348 at 0800 toward the southwest and dug in for the night just north of Mt. Cabungaan. On the morning of 11 December, an intense mortar and artillery concentration was placed upon the enemy position in front of the 1st Squadron. The fire was so close that fragments frequently fell on the waiting assault troops. After this fire, the 1st Squadron with Troop A in the lead moved out at 0715. At the same time Troop E attacked from the northeast. The enemy defenses consisted of seven or eight pillboxes and many caves dug into the very rugged terrain. The men of Troop A, closely followed by Troop B, charged up the hill "throwing grenades and firing from the hip." The hill fell to the 1st Squadron at 1003 after very heavy hand-to-hand fighting. Troop E had been held up by the terrain and was unable to assist the 1st Squadron. After the capture of the Japanese position, patrols established contact with Troop E at 1200. The regimental reconnaissance platoon returned from the vicinity of Lonoy with the information that the Japanese had prepared strong defensive positions in that area. The platoon had gained a good observation point 900 yards east of Lonoy. The next several days were spent in sending out patrols and moving the 2d Squadron to the position of the 1st Squadron. Meanwhile, on December 9, Admiral Okawachi had launched what would turn out to be his final TA convoy. This convoy, consisting of three destroyers, two subchasers, and six transport ships carrying the Takahashi Detachment and the Ito Naval Landing Unit, departed from Manila on December 9. A day earlier, the Camotes Detachment had also been dispatched individually via landing barges. In light of the recent enemy landings at Deposito, three units were assigned to deploy in Ormoc and support General Tomochika's forces in defending the city. However, by December 11, Ormoc had already succumbed, and the convoy finally arrived in Leyte, where it was immediately targeted by American fighter planes. Near Palompon, two transports were struck and left immobilized, prompting an urgent order for the Takahashi Detachment to disembark there and assist the Camotes Detachment during its landing at Palompon. Meanwhile, two destroyers and two transports carrying the Ito Naval Landing Unit continued to Ormoc, where four American destroyers awaited them. This led to a chaotic battle, as artillery, mortars, tank destroyers, and the destroyer Coghlan opened fire on the transports as they unloaded the SNLF Marines northwest of Ormoc. Consequently, one transport was sunk, and another was damaged, necessitating an escort back to Palompon to offload its remaining cargo. Despite this, over 200 Marines managed to land by nightfall, although they could not connect with the Imahori Detachment situated north of Ormoc.  At 2330 on 11 December the 77th Division beach defense units observed a Japanese convoy, which was transporting the Special Naval Landing Force, steaming into Ormoc Bay with the apparent intention of landing at Ormoc. The Japanese evidently thought that Ormoc was still in their hands. The first craft noticed by the U.S. forces was a landing barge with about fifty men, heading directly for the Ormoc pier. By the time the barge came within range of the shore weapons, all shore units were alert and waited with guns trained upon it. They withheld their fire until the barge was within fifty yards of the pier and then all weapons converged their fires upon the craft. The first rounds squarely hit the barge, which immediately burst into flames. The Japanese clambered atop the gunwales and are reported to have screamed, "Don't shoot," under the mistaken notion that their forces still occupied Ormoc. The harbor was lit up by the burning barge and 60-mm. illuminating shells. During the night the Americans discovered that another enemy vessel, about the size of an LST, had pulled into shore northwest of the town under cover of darkness and was busily engaged in discharging troops and equipment. The tank destroyer guns of the 307th Infantry, emplaced along the beach within 1,000 yards of the vessel, opened fire on it while forward observers from the 902d Field Artillery Battalion directed artillery fire upon the landing area and inland. The enemy vessel attempted to pull out to sea, but after proceeding less than fifty yards it burst into flames and sank. About 150 men, two tanks, a number of rifles, mortars, and machine guns, and a quantity of ammunition had been unloaded before the vessel sank, but most of the supplies, including four ammunition trucks, had been destroyed by American fire while the vessel was unloading. The early dawn of 12 December revealed another ship of the same type farther west near Linao. The artillery, mortars, and tank destroyer guns opened up against this vessel as it fled along the shores of Ormoc Bay, and their fire followed until it was out of range. Before the fire ceased, heavy clouds of smoke billowed from the vessel as it moved at a snail's pace. During the night the American fire had to be closely coordinated, since American vessels, including a resupply convoy, were in the bay. Not a single U.S. craft was damaged. Troops of the Special Naval Landing Force who had disembarked got in touch with Colonel Imahori, who immediately ordered them to go to Highway 2 as the reserve unit of the 12th Independent Infantry Regiment. It was impossible for them to carry out the order, since the 77th Division had advanced north from Ormoc. They thereupon decided to join a naval airfield construction unit at Valencia, but again they failed. In the latter part of December, the men of the Special Naval Landing Force were in the eastern part of the Palompon area without having taken part in the battle for the Ormoc corridor. On the journey back to Manila, the Uzuki was sunk by two PT boats near Leyte on December 12. The rest of the convoy was also assaulted by 46 aircraft off Cebu, leading to the sinking of the Yuzuki and one transport. This incident marked the final TA convoy of the war, as the fall of Ormoc made the operation pointless. Similarly, plans for a counterlanding at Carigara Bay with the 39th Regiment were also scrapped. The nine TA convoys successfully transported an estimated 45,000 men and 10,000 tons of supplies and equipment to Leyte; however, this came at a significant cost. The Southwest Area Fleet incurred losses that included one light cruiser, nine destroyers, three submarines, three subchasers, two frigates, and 26 transports. Additionally, during enemy carrier strikes on Luzon and the Visayas, the fleet lost one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, five destroyers, one submarine, three subchasers, three frigates, 19 transports, and four oilers. On December 11, General Bruce launched an aggressive defense of Ormoc, planning to advance his troops daily to establish new forts or blockhouses by nightfall until Valencia was secured. Consequently, the 307th Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 306th Regiment attempted to cross the Antilao River but encountered intense fire and were quickly pinned down. Meanwhile, the 3rd Battalion of the 306th managed to advance despite facing increasing resistance from the Imahori Detachment at Cogon but was ultimately compelled to withdraw due to heavy enemy fire. At the same time, the bulk of the 305th Regiment repositioned to the right of the 307th, while the 17th and 184th Regiments completed their limited offensive, successfully crossing the Talisayan River without opposition and reaching the Binoljo area, with the 2nd Battalion of the 184th advancing to Ipil to establish contact with the 77th Division. At this stage, General Yamagata's units had retreated into the mountains, regrouping north of Talisanyan to initiate their final withdrawal to Ormoc. However, their escape route had been entirely cut off, and they were being pursued from the east by the bulk of General Swing's 11th Airborne Division. As General Gill's offensive progressed, his infantry began assaulting enemy artillery positions in the north. Simultaneously, the 2nd Squadron, 7th Cavalry launched an attack against the 102nd Division units; however, the defenders managed to hold the cavalrymen back at the hill's base. Meanwhile, General Suzuki was hastily retreating toward Huaton, where he was expected to arrive by December 13. His strategy involved waiting for the 5th and 77th Regiments to reach his position before executing a robust counterattack to reclaim Ormoc. The 68th Brigade was tasked with bolstering the beleaguered 1st Division, which had incurred over 3,000 casualties since the start of hostilities. Returning to the frontline developments, the previous day's intense fighting compelled Bruce to solidify his positions on December 12. He organized the delivery of supplies and supporting artillery to bombard enemy defenses while dispatching strong patrols for reconnaissance. At the same time, the 17th and 184th Regiments successfully gathered at the Panilahan River in preparation to reinforce the 77th Division. On the following day, after a significant artillery bombardment, a specialized attack force led by Colonel Paul Freeman, comprising two companies from the 305th Regiment, was dispatched to assault Colonel Imahori's primary blockhouse at Cogon. Meanwhile, the remainder of the regiment targeted other enemy positions along the ridge. While the infantry managed to advance to the ridge, Freeman's companies were unable to progress further, ultimately forcing the 305th to retreat. Simultaneously, the 307th Regiment advanced westward along the Ormoc-Linao road and successfully captured Linao. Although the 77th Division had pushed its western boundary forward by approximately 1,000 yards during the day, the central front lines remained largely unchanged since morning, necessitating General Bruce to launch another attack the following day. Meanwhile, Arnold sent the 32nd Regiment to connect with the 11th Airborne Division to aid in its withdrawal from the mountains.  On the morning of 13 December the 2d Battalion, 126th Infantry, with the assistance of its tanks and heavy mortars, pushed past the Japanese who had held up its advance. In the face of most determined opposition the battalion moved south, destroying the pockets of resistance which had been bypassed. At the end of the day the 2d Battalion had advanced 400 yards to a position 200 yards north of a roadblock set up by the 3d Battalion, 126th Infantry. The 3d Battalion, less Company L, which was to remain on the high ground overlooking the road, was to attack south on the east side of Highway 2 and come abreast of the 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry. At 1521 the 3d Battalion reported that six enemy tanks were coming up the highway. After heavy fighting, the Japanese tanks withdrew at nightfall and returned to the south. The 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry, the southernmost unit of the division, made plans to dislodge the enemy force between it and the 3d Battalion. The contested ground consisted of an open space 600 to 700 yards long and 200 to 300 yards wide, at the southern end of which were two knolls. The 1st Battalion had men on both knolls but did not control the northern end of the sector where the Japanese had dug in and were using machine guns, mortars, and rifles. The 1st Battalion charged against the Japanese and rooted them out with grenades and mortar fire. Except for this action, only slight gains were registered during the day. The men of the battalion were hungry, having been without food since the previous afternoon. The commanding officer of the battalion renewed a request for additional rations and ammunition, since the one-third ration that had been received the day before was insufficient. The 1st and 2d Battalions of the 127th Infantry received orders from the regimental commander to advance south with the 1st Battalion on the left, pinch out the 3d Battalion, 126th Infantry, and link up with the 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry. The 1st Battalion, 127th Infantry, moved out in a column of companies and had advanced 400 yards when it encountered forty to fifty Japanese on a ridge to its front, about 150 yards west of the road. The enemy threw blocks of TNT and grenades against the battalion, effectively pinning down the troops. A night perimeter was established. The 2d Battalion, 127th Infantry, moved abreast of the regiment's 1st Battalion throughout the day. Its advance was bitterly contested by the Japanese, who employed machine guns, mortars, and rifles against the battalion, which dug in for the night under fire. At 1630 the 11th Field Artillery Battalion fired upon fifteen Japanese who were walking along the road south of Lonoy and killed twelve of them. The night of 13-14 December was not quiet. At 2300 an enemy force from the 1st Infantry Regiment broke into the command post of the 126th Infantry. The Japanese set up a machine gun in the area and attacked with grenades and rifles. Bitter hand-to-hand fighting ensued but by 0325 the enemy force was evicted and the area had quieted down. At 0630, with the coming of dawn, the Headquarters Company got things in order and everyone was "happy to hear sound of comrade's voices." Six Japanese were killed and two Americans and two Filipinos wounded. On December 14, nearly all battalions of the 126th and 127th Regiments were actively advancing and maintaining physical contact with one another, successfully pushing over two miles south of Limon. At 0730 on the morning of 13 December, the 2d Squadron, 7th Cavalry, moved out and came under fire from two Japanese machine guns well emplaced on a cliff. The ridge narrowed to ten feet with sixty-degree slopes, making forward passage almost impossible. The troops were pinned down. In the meantime, Troop F of the squadron worked south in an attempt to envelop the rear of the enemy force but was unable to do so and returned. The 2d Squadron established night perimeters near the same positions it had held the previous night. On the following morning the 75-mm. and 105-mm. artillery and the 4.2-inch and 60-mm. mortars began to register heavy fire on the Japanese strong point. At 1200 Troop G of the 2d Squadron jumped off, attacking the enemy position frontally while Troop F moved in from the rear. Employing flame throwers, Troop G steadily pushed forward and by 1445 had knocked out four enemy bunkers and destroyed several machine guns. Of more importance, it was fifty yards beyond the enemy front lines. Troop F also continued to advance. By the end of the day the enemy force had been rooted off the high ground, and the 2d Squadron, 7th Cavalry, was in firm possession of the ridge. The unit captured a quantity of enemy ordnance, including 12 light and 3 heavy machine guns, 9 grenade launchers, and 73 rifles, together with considerable quantities of grenades and ammunition. Before the ridge was secured, "over 5000 rounds of artillery fire had been placed on [the] . . . position without appreciably affecting it." On 14 December, the 12th Cavalry was ordered to continue west to Highway 2 and assist the advance of the 32d Division, to establish a roadblock on the highway, and to attack the hostile forces to the north between it and the 32d Division. In furtherance of this order, the 1st Squadron, less A and C Troops, moved west on 15 December toward a previously reconnoitered area that was about 1,800 yards east of the barrio of Lonoy. This site, a banana plantation, was chosen for its observation facilities to the west and as an excellent dropping ground for supplies. The 1st Squadron, having encountered little opposition, closed on the area before dusk. Thereupon the rest of the regiment was ordered to close in on the area before nightfall on 17 December. At 0930 on 14 December Colonel Freeman prepared his special assault force to renew the attack. Before the jump-off, artillery and mortars laid their fire on the blockhouse and beyond. Under cover of artillery fire the troops cautiously moved out at 1030 with Company L on the right and by 1105 they had advanced 100 yards. Company L knocked out two pillboxes with flame throwers and a tank destroyer gun. Company E found every step of the way contested. The troops used hand grenades and bayonets and literally forced the enemy out of the foxholes in tough hand-to-hand fighting. Capt. Robert B. Nett, the commanding officer of Company E, although seriously wounded, refused to relinquish his command. He led his company forward and killed seven Japanese with his rifle and bayonet. Captain Nett was awarded the Medal of Honor. While Company E was so engaged, Company L on its right advanced through dense foliage and burnt the Japanese out of their foxholes and the bamboo thicket with flame throwers. The company was assisted by armored bulldozers from the 302d Engineers. For a hundred yards on all sides of the blockhouse, the enemy had dug many deep foxholes only a few yards apart. All the foxholes were covered, some with coconut logs and earth, and others with improvised lids of metal and earth. One was protected by an upturned bathtub. The armored bulldozer drove over the positions, its blades cutting off the tops of the foxholes, after which small arms fire into the holes killed the occupants. The crews of the tank destroyers not only fired point-blank at targets but opened the escape hatches and dropped grenades into the foxholes. At 1240 the blockhouse, or what remained of it, was secured. Meanwhile, the 1st Battalion, 305th Regiment executed a flanking maneuver around the blockhouse, subsequently shifting 1,000 yards to the east to intercept the enemy's communication lines along Highway 2. On December 15, the 77th Division consolidated its positions and dispatched small patrols, effectively securing the port of Ormoc. Since the initial landings, the 77th estimated that they had killed 3,046 Japanese soldiers and captured 9 prisoners at the expense of 103 soldiers killed, 318 wounded, and 26 missing. With the 184th Regiment taking over the defense of Ormoc, Bruce's troops were now able to prepare for their advance toward Valencia and beyond, aiming to connect with General Sibert's 10th Corps, which was still making its way southward. However, we must shift our focus from Leyte to address another significant development in the Philippines.  While Admiral Nimitz was strategizing his invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa—topics we will delve into further in the future—General MacArthur reluctantly postponed the Mindoro operation until December 15 to give Admiral Kinkaid time to assemble a robust escort carrier group to protect General Dunckel's Western Visayan Task Force during its landing on Mindoro. This group, composed of six escort carriers, three aging battleships, three cruisers, and 18 destroyers commanded by Rear-Admiral Theodore Ruddock, was tasked with safeguarding Admiral Struble's Task Group 78.3, now renamed the Mindoro Attack Group, alongside Admiral Berkey's Close Covering Group, which included three cruisers and seven destroyers. Additionally, Admiral McCain's Task Force 38 was ordered to assist Operation Love with a series of strikes against the main airbases on Luzon. Although the prime airfield locations on Mindoro were situated in the northeast, perilously close to Japanese air concentrations in Luzon, MacArthur chose to establish a beachhead and airfield sites near San Jose in the southwest corner. The 503rd Parachute Regiment was designated to land on the Green and Blue Beaches around the Bugsanga River, while the majority of the 19th Regiment would come ashore at the White Beach near Mangarin Bay. Meanwhile, General Yamashita had been convinced since early November that Leyte would fall, prompting him to strategize for the defense of Luzon. He thought the Americans would try to establish advance air bases in the western Visayas rather than on Mindoro, as the Japanese believed Mindoro had limited suitable locations for operational airfield construction. This belief hindered Yamashita's ability to reinforce either these positions or the already weakened defenses on Luzon, as Field Marshal Terauchi persistently pressured him to send all available reinforcements to Leyte. Realizing he could not engage in a decisive battle on Luzon without substantial reinforcements, Yamashita began planning a delaying defense strategy, where his existing forces would conduct operations aimed at exhausting enemy resources. In preparation for the worst-case scenario, the 14th Area Army started organizing positions for a prolonged defense in the mountainous regions around Baguio and north of San Jose, west of Tarlac, and east of Manila. At this stage, Yamashita had the 61st Independent Mixed Brigade stationed on the Batan and Babuyan Islands, the 103rd Division in northern Luzon, the 58th Independent Mixed Brigade in the Lingayen Gulf area, the 2nd Tank Division near San Miguel-Cabanatuan, the 8th Division in Batangas Province, the 11th Independent Regiment in the sectors around Baler and Dingalan Bay, the 82nd Brigade in the Lamon Bay region, the remainder of the 105th Division in the Legaspi and Naga areas, and most of the 23rd Division in the San Jose and Umingan sectors. In addition, the Manila Defense Force, established on November 1, comprised four provisional infantry battalions and five infantry companies, tasked with defending Manila and the Bataan Peninsula. Furthermore, the 8th Division was charged with the defense of Mindoro; however, the island was only protected by two provisional companies from the 359th Independent Battalion, which were deployed there to bolster the local naval garrisons and air personnel. On December 12, Struble's convoy finally set sail from Leyte Gulf towards Mindoro. Struble's forces steamed on through the Mindanao Sea unmolested until the afternoon of 13 December. Japanese Army and Navy planes had had the three groups under surveillance since 0900, but had not attacked pending receipt of information on the force's destination. In midafternoon ten Japanese Navy planes, including three designated as suicide bombers--the dread kamikazes--flew up from a field on Cebu and found the Allied force off the southeastern corner of Negros Island. Unobserved by lookouts and undetected by radar, which nearby land masses blanketed, one kamikaze flew in low over the water and crashed with a mighty roar on the light cruiser Nashville, Admiral Struble's flagship. Combined explosions from the plane's bomb and ship's ammunition wrecked the flag bridge, the communications office, and the combat information center. Over 130 men were killed outright, including General Dunckel's chief of staff, the 310th Bombardment Wing's commander, Admiral Struble's chief of staff, and Task Group 78.3's communications and medical officers. The wounded, numbering about 190, included Dunckel, who was painfully but not seriously injured and burned. Struble and Dunckel quickly transferred to the destroyer Dashiell, which also took aboard some of the members of both officers' staffs. The rest of the staffs and the wounded sailed back to Leyte on the Nashville, protected by the destroyer Stanly. Later that afternoon, another kamikaze struck the destroyer Haraden, which also had to return to Leyte, resulting in 15 fatalities and 25 injuries. Additionally, Admiral Shima's 2nd Striking Force was instructed to relocate from Lingga to Camranh Bay in anticipation of a potential sortie. Despite this, the Americans continued their advance, and fortunately for them, the Japanese were searching in the western Visayas, causing them to miss the opportunity to attack on December 14. Meanwhile, McCain's carriers launched a significant strike against Luzon, while Ruddock's carriers effectively diverted enemy attention with attacks on air concentrations in Panay and Negros Islands. By late afternoon of the 14th the location of the convoy in the southern waters of Mindoro Strait made it clear that the objective lay beyond the western Visayas. For the first time Fourteenth Area Army estimated that the landing would take place on Mindoro and ordered the 8th Division to alert its outposts there. It was also a serious possibility,, however, that the enemy might strike directly at Luzon. General Yamashita therefore issued a warning to Area Army forces throughout central Luzon. As a further precaution, the Nagayoshi Detachment, which was awaiting shipment to Leyte, and the 71st Infantry Regiment of the 23d Division, which had just reached Manila, were ordered to deploy immediately to Bataan Peninsula and Batangas, respectively, to meet potential enemy landings in those sectors. The Navy and air commands in Manila saw much greater probability of a landing on Luzon than on Mindoro. They therefore directed all subordinate units and installations to prepare for action against both enemy amphibious forces and possible airborne attack groups. Additionally, Army and Navy aircraft were quickly organized to target enemy shipping. Meanwhile, Struble's convoy anchored near San Jose and began preparations for the landings, which would catch the few defenders of Mindoro off guard. As troops transferred to the landing crafts and surface vessels commenced the pre-landing bombardment, McCain's carrier aircraft launched another assault on Luzon, inflicting substantial casualties. Assisted by Ruddock's carriers, they successfully shot down eight out of fifteen kamikaze attackers targeting the shipping off the island. For the loss of 35 aircraft, the Americans estimated they destroyed around 450 Japanese planes during this operation. Nevertheless, the Japanese continued their assault, damaging two LSTs that would later sink, as well as one LSM. In the heroic action, the destroyer USS Moale (DD-693), under the command of Commander Walter M. Foster, went alongside the burning LST-738 (which was loaded with aviation fuel and ordnance) to rescue crewmembers. Several explosions aboard LST-738 caused damage to Moale as she pulled away. Some pieces of shrapnel were two feet square and they put four holes in Moale's hull. Gunner's Mate Ed Marsh reported that a one-gallon jar of vaseline from the LST's cargo splattered on one barrel of his twin 40 mm Bofors AA gun, providing unwelcome lubrication. Moale suffered one fatality and thirteen wounded. In addition, Moale also rescued 88 survivors. Despite this damage, they were unable to prevent the successful landings of the 19th Regiment and the 503rd Parachute Regiment, which quickly unloaded and advanced seven miles inland to secure the objective beachhead line. Consequently, the few Japanese units present in the area were compelled to retreat inland toward Bulalacao. Meanwhile, engineers promptly began construction on the new Hill Drome, which would be completed by December 20. The second Ellmore Field was projected to be ready for limited use three days later and for continuous dry-weather operations by December 28, a week ahead of schedule. On the morning of December 16, a slow-moving tow convoy consisting of small tankers, barges, and LCTs, accompanied by destroyers, arrived off Mindoro after suffering the loss of a small Army tanker that was sunk and a destroyer that was damaged by kamikaze attacks during the journey. Concurrently, McCain carried out his final strike against Luzon, unfortunately resulting in the sinking of the hellship Oryoku Maru, which was carrying 1,620 prisoners of war, with over 200 lives lost. The burden of taking their fellow soldiers' lives would not be the only consequence for the Americans, as the fierce Typhoon Cobra soon battered Task Force 38, sinking the destroyer Spence and damaging nine additional warships. Despite these significant losses, the Mindoro operation was ultimately a complete success. Although MacArthur aimed to launch his amphibious invasion of Lingayen Gulf just 15 days after capturing Mindoro, considerations such as the lunar and tidal conditions at Lingayen Gulf, the necessity to rest and replenish the units of Kinkaid's 7th Fleet, and the ongoing slow progress in airfield construction on Leyte—required for establishing a much larger airbase at Mindoro—ultimately compelled him to delay Operation Mike I until January 9. Conversely, the invasion of Mindoro, signaling that the final advance on Luzon would soon take place, prompted Terauchi to recognize that Leyte was a lost cause. As a result, the decisive battle at Leyte was immediately halted, the 35th Army was instructed to hold the southern Philippines for as long as possible, and the 14th Area Army was ordered to expedite its defensive preparations on Luzon and quickly respond to the enemy landing on Mindoro.

Intense battles unfolded as American forces aggressively pushed back a chaotic Japanese retreat, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for Ormoc, while enemy convoys faced destruction and retreat marked the war's shifting tide. US forces battled fiercely on Leyte and Mindoro, overcoming Japanese resistance and kamikaze attacks to secure key positions for the Luzon invasion.

This week we're discussing Bullets, Tanks, all the Cusaks and that time Bowie vocalised with your man Mercury. It's 1997's Grosse Point Blank. --- Grosse Pointe Blank, alternatively known simply as Blank, is a 1997 American black comedy crime film directed by George Armitage and starring John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Alan Arkin and Dan Aykroyd. Cusack plays an assassin who returns to his hometown to attend a high school reunion. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $31 million. --- hello, everyone and welcome to this week's episode of a hundred things. We learned from film I'm one of your host, my name's planty and I'm gross and a No guy, I'm John and I shit blanks. Well, congratulations again! I I live in the show, yeah a O, I'm good, but it I've just had my my buster job, so I am covered free, all right, okay, I thought old people would have got them before. I did well on I'm young at heart to die of ovid booster. That's fine! Yes! Ladies Gentlemen, listeners, boys, girls, whatever the fuck you are, we don't care, go out and get your jab please. That would be. That would be very, very good for everybody involved. If you could do that. This, of course, is the podcast where we try and learn one hundred things from every film that we cover our GONEB. What are we covering this week? So we're looking in one thousand nine hundred and ninety seven gross point. Blank proper favorite, mind Disoun, but it was the music. The STATYON COUSAC is just neat's very well written. I think the dialogue is extremely a written. Eleanor can just not got enough tam in it, but he was so good, so good, I'm in this movie somewhere, I'm in the movie somewhere. You know you're, not a a long sucker. You Are you filmed all your scenes over lunch. It you had time when someone was shooting something else somewhere and you and they just got you and throw you in a cheap suit, came to know John. What could we have been talking about this year instead of this? Well of you right to find out the forms? One thousand nine hundred and eighty seven, you can go back and lest the corner because we were talking of it back then. Oh Con yeah, yeah good point. So cone was also John Yeah Yeah Yeah, all right, okay, e busy boy yeah. Shall we begin? Yes, we sho fantastic. It opens and it's Hollywood pictures. When did you last think of Hollywood? Pictures? John H, God yet forever ago, rip those guys. The first form was released in one thousand nine hundred and ninety, and it was a Ratnapoora Jesus. Virgilian Sat Julian Sense. Yeah. I haven't thought about a Ratnapoora in decades, one of those that I potentially do have to watch. They made terminal velocity, pretty good super marrier brothers, pretty shit, bad, no person, your favorite judge, dread the ugly good man yeah. Absolutely it's a Disney Company and they've managed to re rename a lot of their films now as a Disney film, which seems a little bit cheeky. I really, as you can this one, but this is evidently why we got it on Disney plus in the UK yeah. True that true that otherwise weldy have to resource that ourselves. We would have a AVSO. I would have had to sauce it myself from that shelf behind me somewhere it's on. If you want to watch it in the UK people, it's on Disney plus section stars which I can't put on without thinking starres evil. Never SIS impression records. What are you doing it doesn't matter? I can't explain it to I'm wasting your rack and set in it that they don't do it. That's not just get out in the bin. The titles are the fantastic I can see clearly by Johnny Nash Y, to be confused, of course, is Johnny Cash. One s the man in black and the other guy is black. So here you go absolutely a one thousand nine hundred and ninety e e n Husain hundred and net n t n, one thousand nine hundred and sety two rich number one in the bill board hot one hundred sold over one million copies, which is what gives it a gold disk in the states, but it only hits silver in the UK with two hundred thousand sales covered in ninety three for the cool Roman soundtrack, wow yeah, onny nice. This blew me away by the way was not Jamaican, is born in Texas and is the first non Caribbean Act to record in Kingston, Jamaica knockings on Pon. Tens never get those two mixed up, never a Amaya I from kings of an tes ever did we have but Kingston, I think about a Memini. Stick. No Man e was think of white phone boxes, kicks to communications in Hole. Now, that's a reference for nobody, but the people, the people of old people, Oh yeah, is we made no way perfect, but at least for no needs is that, on her welcome to hell as m sixty two the highway to hell, I mean whole yeah. Absolutely so John Cusack is Martin Blank. Hence the name of the the film yeah he's setting up for this job is jobbs is a hitman. Sorry, no he's a professional killer. That's that! That's where that's where exactly I everybody great line every time he does it. It's reallity watching his Ay and where is that ye o? Is that yeah? What was that about? No, I was looking this up. You can actually buy an I bath. You can get the one most from both for five ninty nine and basically it's just letter as it says, when the ten it's just in case on an e look in dry environment, stuff. You actually just pill that Yale Open your eye and just bathe your eye. It's a thing right, wow, that's fucking! Weird! I don't like Anton, I don't think anything in me able, so no I don't either. I can't the idea of contact lens is just makes me a bit sick, I'm entirely honest with him. Yeah touch he nice, no Ye! No! No! It's not for me make so he he's getting pretor. Shooting he's got his secretary on the phone, it's sister Joan Yeah Tasia few members. If there's a couple of members of your family in this and a right well, well spite because I only spotted Joan, but as I always do, I can't step without, of course, thinking about fantastic Adams, family s, toys, toy story or toys. I've forgotten toys even exist yeah. She was a robotic sister e Jesus. I think I've may be seen that film as many as five times as a cow. Really it's one of the S. I think that had recorded off sky when we first got sky, and I watched it over and over why? Why did I watch that? Over and over again, is this guy on a bike pulls a gun on these mobsters I mean they look like proper extras out of good fellers. Didn't they go proper guns went they really were he shoots him before they before they can be shut, or this this main guy can be shot and they unload clip after clip after clip on this. This this, I don't know corpse on a bike really this fine yeah. I flying with this this cab on it, which I always like a stubbed. It should be more stuck than in filth and then the dormant appears and executes them all yeah, just standing there blasting away this guy is a character called grocer played by home. It's a Danaro Dan acro and favorite yeah, yeah, goodness yeah. You Lot don't need us to tell you where we know don a cold from did. You know, he's made money out of founding those house of Blues Music Venues in the states yeah and is currently Hawking Crystal Head Vodka, which you can buy a bottle which looks exactly as you expect it to John Forty eight quid on Amazon for seventy cents, a let a bottle is a favor list, as if you are going to buy one, please shop anywhere else for your alcoholics, an you all. We don't mind ousedog yeah, absolutely so later they meet up at this bit of waste land. Grocer is saying a e union, that's more of a club, it's more in a club to make sure they don't get mixed up on jobs. Yeah Grocer mentions that he sold tanks to Central America. These t thirty four tanks and I yeah I took a bath on those thud. A thirty four tax, not concident must have sold these T. thirty four tanks in the last ten years, right so height, six to ninety six, considering how long you know this guy's been away from school, but but probably more likely in the last couple of years in the mid night is Soviet built. Since one thousand nine hundred and forty they stopped building them in one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight would you believe yet countries that still have them I'll? Give you an extra point. If you can guess a country in the world that still uses these tags, you Gush Lavie County, an I just covered a alou could have been. You could have been right there actually, because Bob near is one of them. A Republic of Congo just in case this as you're, not sure, that's the democratic one. You tend to know that because it doesn't have democratic in the title. If a country is democratic in the title, it is mostly undemocratic, yeah, a e e edvantiges North Korea yeah exactly on that subject: North Korea as well. The Yemen, Vietnam, Guineyguiney, Beso, Namibia and Guba, of course, Cube Nice. If you want to learn more about Cuba, tune into our current episodes, O everything we love for the simpsons, where we get to go to Cuba with homer Simpson, which is just as much one as it ses, they must be reliable tanks them. If people are still using them, they're being used in Cuba, I can assure you they are still using cast from the ES. So I was I was listening to some of the conversation. It was even me secretary. I brot the Amalteo, the animal, the ison go for it sure one of them packed up on his with eshe was asking for steel core. No so steel, co pesame is illegal, Picis, a harder steel and it doesn't deform on contact. If you shoot Kevlar with it is it ll PS at source classes am Opson aminition right, but she also says something of it. Soft Point, billets, yeah yeah no show point, builds a prains for hunting with the deformation of the nose creating a lower expansion and greater penetration. I know as soon as I state panettone a thought is going to laugh and I didn't know that and then he realized there is difference between the tenses like drank to the mail. Okay, yeah I've got you yeah. She does a little bit later on which I might as well do. While, while we're talking about bullets, she mentions nine, she shouted nine millimeter subsonic rounds. subsonic ammunition is ammunition designed to operate below the speed of sound, which means it's less than MAC. Zero Point Eight zero and it avoids Super Sonic, shot, wave or crack of a super sonic bullet which influences the loudness of the shop. So, if you're shooting with the silence that so, if you don't any get caught, that's what you want to use guys at for assassinations. I would assume I bet that is absolutely grow year. Grocer says it's a concern that that I want we've got X, Starz we've got those butch Filipinos and I'm like okay yeah great, it's a really uncomfortable conversation and like they're watching each other, the whole time art there and kind of Oh yeah. We in like the S B, to pin the hand in a book and if you try t like o yeah, it's good, he buggers off and and a new job comes in through the car facts. Did you love this Caninis? This is something that I lost a lot of time on this morning. The car facts I couldn't find a particular type of a model or anything like that, basically lost to history in the Internet, but the Toyota Century, if you bought a toie century, had an option which replaced the glove box space with an in Carfax. But that is all I could find. That is crazy, madness and it is to maisure thing have and your car yeah. He turns down he's going to go in Miami, but he turns down a job of blowing up a green piece. Boat Is Co. factest, Bolshoy Green piece have a four ships Rainbow Warrior Arctic Sunrise, Esperanza and witness he's in Miami doing this job. He drops his camera through the vent in this sleeping man, and I R drips poison down this string and just as it's about to do, it falls on his face and wakes him up. I mean this guy is a really light sleeper. Why? Yes, since it touched his face, it was up yeah, so he jumps downstairs at the gun and blows him away. I says: No, IT'S NOT ME HES! Whatever I'm doing you know I'll stop! No! No! It's not me! It's not that I just blows him away. So it's basically failed twice here ye and that's as we go in through the film he's. Really bad at this lake manage let's say a five year career. Let's say I was in the army for four Ay years years: Five Year career doing this because he doesn't do anything right the whole time, but I think it's dot with mental state. Isn't it yeah, because you can't you can to get right? S may be a professional, so they're very unhappy and he's got one last all last job that he can do is meant to make it look like he died in his sleep and it just so happens. It's where his reunion is yeah yeah, because she's, the secret is reading the the year book stuff and she is yes she's reading out the kind of that the invite to the and you kind of like, Oh my God that sounds awful. Did you ever go to one of your reunions? John? So I no! I didn't so a couple of things. I was eaout these things, the American ones different from a as cause. What they do is it every five to ten years? Isn't it every five ten years to go there, but some people take their year book. So Ye book is basically just an annual record of what they're done in the highlight stuff. So they take it with them, so they can actually compare and just see because a lot of them rate comments thinking all you're going to be the funniest pierce. Now you the hardest worker, but we don't have any on that. No, I do might do now. I but yeah, no back then, but even no. Even then I was reinin Israel, but apparently the tradition is dying out and the USA, because the Social Mejeedee are, if you've got a view. These good fast thing you do. Is You had your friends on finish books so if you've got the mirror or attainments appointing beaten up yeah? That's that's fair enough! Yeah and to be honest, if you hate them, then like I probably did yeah, you bother yeah exactly it's talks to psychiatrists couch as we discussed already the wonderful Alan Arkin he's not his doctor, because he's afraid of him he doesn't like he does, but he keeps coming back and he's to to he's too afraid to not kind of listen yeah, but it loves him because he is rating. An is is something but it a couple of books, yeah yeah this that go go a looking at that. Just looking at gotras bet grocery, as as it says, in the ten three lines rates WHO Pentas and in Cadet to somebody else, which is weird, but what our dead looked at is the sheet amount of money that theodopus get a bet remained every time you watch an American form, it seems like everybody in the dogs got at the other person, but generally the prices range from sixty five dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars an hour. Wow Therapist, I'm thinking my God sound. That's a lot of what they've o there's a lot of people with her in therapist of therapists over there, so I was going to pick have gone to pack any sort of career over there. I definite gain us some sort of therapy yeah, and now we moved to a advert for our sponsor this week, better help as Pensi my bete help, but well that we were would be would be good but yeah. It is it's an expensive job and this G he's not getting his money worth here. Is He at all it's' been dreaming on the Juras Bunny and he said that's a terrible dream. It's a depressing dream: like aerospace, drink, some punch meet up with the girl, debbiamo, okay, who's. This girl, Derby, Duracell last Juel Bunny campaign in one thousand nine hundred a D. seventy three! That's that that's there's a lot more in the Durosey and Lote court cases around it. It is very boring and very dry okays. This is the one. It got me rates a couple of things, but that seemed so one was when it was seen: a boat, the jams, a boat Deby. Yes, I was looking at it Tassoun about and it could mean that you lookin for closure a Corti somebody called Terry O Barch. The JUNISEAN is sixteen years older than energizer bunny as Jun, one thousand nine hundred and senty three but energizer as a sole rate to sell rabbit, embroidered batteries and s in the US. That's so were on it that they're, the only one, the lethe us and Canada, and U and Grisel- has kind of the rest of the world wherever wherever they wherever they sell them. I'm glad you managed take that look at out of there, because I found that was a very dry series of articles that are read yea. I press that we bet longer that grocer finds that he's lost this Detroit job to blank and he calls these feds who are seemingly after him, but he says: Oh I've got your I've got your I've got your pigeon, so obviously they're. Looking for they're looking for someone to sell yeah as blank sets gets into town, it passes the radio station and he passes Debby, which is mini driver Hoba, Hoba, yeah, t good Enos. Yes, he's one of ours he's very young, though very young. Indeed she is she's the radio DJ and she seems to have a real kind of hard on for, like to tone and kind of like punk scared. She Y A I Yahaya, that's good. He pulls up put the school and sees his old teacher Miss Mrs Kanele. She says you did. Oh, your Detroit's best disappearing accents white flight. I kind of wish I hadn't learned about this. About white fly rightly, is a turn for large scale: Migration of white people from one area to another when an area becomes more racially or culturally diverse, right, so fuck off the water you get up in the mountains, if that's your ah to yeah and it's a term. That's been popular in America since kind of h s right when areas started to become a little bit more ethnic, let's say et nity diverse, so I kind of wasn't into that. I just yeah, not great, he says yeah. I went West like the Donna Party Mane. I love the story of the Dollar Party. I got a big kick out of this story. The Donna Party was a group of American biles. We migrated to California in a wagon train from the Midwest. They were so delayed. They spent the winter eighteen. Forty six eighteen, forty seven snow bound in the Seria Sierra Nevada mountain range, like the beer. Some of the migrants resorted to cannibalism, to survive in the bodies of those who had succumbed to starvation, sickness and extreme cold on the DONA party Esus. No thanks to the wagon train. We are still alive, so I did eventually make it that they had. They had a taste for flesh. I was gonna, say he's something e chick about harm yeah, he says: Are you still teaching Ethan Throne, ethen frome? I one thousand nine hundred and even book by American Author Edith, Watton and they're basically having this gun of he says. Oh you have this Mary Tyler, more kind of thing going on he's flirting with him, but I'm kind of like that's weird. It's got that he heads off home. He gets home, but home, isn't there what's there? Instead, it's an ultimate, which I tried to go. God tons, actually no a shot. It and Bookay Fosti really is yeah. He gets in, he walk, he's, listening to guns and roses live and let die, which of course, is a cover of the wings number eleven e Di di Te to the backbands I did. I was like jeous releases, an arcade game yeah I stupidly when I was young at I bought doom. Is I tanou tons it that's a sorrevet them too yea. It is yeah yeah t e e H to wasn't released in Arcades. Yes, is a just on this. Doom to, however, was release in one thousand nine hundred and ninety four and Mak Antro, one thousand nine hundred and ninety five right. Okay, Mackintosh, remember those he walks into this convenience store and the music changes the instant it gets since, like a music version, isn't it yeah? It's like the IT s like a left, yeah elevator in written specifically for this film that piece of that that arrangement yeah it was really good he's raging in he ate questions the guy, be the canter who looks just like rambling clerks. It he's like you know where who are you? How long have you been here? Where's, your manager, when you? Where do where do you live a because the Dando doesn't answer and he leaves a voice mat, and this line is Great. He says so it turns out. You can never go home, but you can shop. there. Is God good son, my child at home, so I can say that these feds that are following them. I didn't recognize that the Black Guy, but I did of course, recognize Hankerin o course go. Baby Hankes, Daria Yeah is man a many times. I go man of Man, I an he visits his mom in the hospital. It turns out, he's been sending money home, but obviously with her not being particularly well they've lost the house yea. She forgets him right away. He goes to see his dad. His Dad is a it's just. A grave basically is there for seconds. He opens his bottle of Glen Love. It proper single mole, eight years, yeah, yeah of it and and Pauls it o the grave and bogus off yeah yeah, which you now really loved them or really hated them, as is yeah. I think it's. I think it's the opposite. I don't think you like him too much just while we're talking about where he is gross point is in Michigan, and it's on the banks of Lake Saint Claire, which is actually not one of the official Great Lakes there's five Great Lakes. This is often called the sixth grade lake there's been a number of attempts to have it recognized, none of which have been made official. There are five gross points that make up the city Gross Point Park, Grosse, Point City, crose, point farms, Groson Woods and gross point shores. Now, stop saying gross point. Well, I hon then, on the is it down baste a bridge right, yeah, Yeah God, that's that I don't even know what the thing, but the Bassa bridges are told, and a mashed or suspension bridge across the Detroit River can connect Detroit Machia in the United States with Windsor Ontario, Canada sor it connects countries. A yes is it's just it's a massive masses structure be looking to it as read that one, the look in to replace it. I don't know why. That's because it's to go be a steel, it Senate, but there they build a wall yeah, but yeah. It was massive when it was Mefiedo us to cross or six six dollars, twenty five Canadian cents. Then, if you want to, if you want to travel across that, just adding those on that's great stuff back to the film next day, he goes to see die. I keep calling the die she's, not called dish called Demi eye they kiss ten years ago he stood her up on prom she's in a seven hundred dollar dress and she put a seven hundred dollar prom dress. John Yeah, you look o any pom de FAC. I didn't did you? Yes, so just googling pray range between them, but is here on the average the prom range ranges from one hundred dollars to section the doors. So I think I sent setting in a seven AEDOR dress is gone over board yeah, well that that Daddy's got a few Bob Anny yeah, seven hundred dollars us in today's money is one thousand two hundred and forty three US dollars. That is an increase of seventy seven percent Jesus and that is in Tattie. THAT'S CRAZY INFLATION! Isn't it yeah that is obscene inflation, proper procreant. You notice on facebook market place to sell a lot of these problem deses because as soon as they wear them this, this stick them Shet. For so I had not seen that if it's just man I got as gets in Promesso my life, a M S, S E C here for job. Don't en give me starting there, a snapchat, no we've already been told you're not allowed to be started on Snayoo d within fifty meters of snatcher. I don't know she admits on the air that she's confused by the feelings and he he leaves and then kind of, comes back in it because they've got this really weird speaker system outside yeah. Yes, we can at her the shots going on, which I think he's probably only set up just for that one particular part of the film yeah she weed in this prom dress and he didn't show so she asked the people. What should what should he do? What should she do and Esau rings up, making wear that prom dress? No, an Kazari calls up from across the road.

We learn here that they can't do anything to him until he goes to the IMA with this, with this killing, so the everybody's holding on the waiting for this they go and leave he leans in for the winch, and she refuses him. He calls Marcella and she gives him the heads of the fence, the from the NSA and they're. Looking for a Patsy and they've been sailed by grocer. We also find out that the Eurotrash kind of Gil, weird the calling yeah, is a Basque separatist, now a separatist, a something that used to be big in the news. If you, if you remember you know, when we were growing up, the Basque region is an autonomous community in northern Spain and the bast conflict ran from fifty two years and only ended in thousand a eleven, because I remember, even in my s, there was bombings on TV news which were always attributed to bask separatists. I always thought a bas. separators were a guy that removed woman's underwear at asks, Goab to keep it on s, been a war, since I seen a good ask. Is that not one of those giant snakes with a big teeth? He explains he hasn't even looked at the job that he should have been doing.

A cross fire was a political debate, show that ran one thousand nine hundred eighty two to two thousand and eight and then had some kind of little couple of little years post that two guests, one representing left and one representing the right of American politics, doesn't sound very romantic.

On my mind, Omelet- and I was like we already know what Al Halfer is we leant two weeks ago when we talked about the R Pasan adventure yeah, so we couldn't even look at bloody of Alfa and he says oh I'll have an egg white omlet, please and what you want in it. Nothing, that's not technically a numble ever matter what you want, O Doin, an manias ran to s a good line, but rosman was sitting seeing a boat and we should get onions and as Salata solant and onions for the blood yeah yeah. So look that up with did you look up was real. No, I didn't. I did you know now. I've really dropped the ball this week and you are picking it up. Good man, so onions have an inflammatory es that may help reduce a high blood pressure and protect against blood clots, SOLANCO or coriander. As we call it is good for Laurin, bad cholesterol and encreases the levels of good cholesterol. That just sounds like an outlet joke that laws bad give it's very good for the digestive system.

In said, Dureza. Yes, I guess Raza, it's a brand name for foxite. It's an antidepressant used for the treatment of Belem, depression, neuroses and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It's been passed in the states for use on treating children aged eight and over with depression, which seems crazy to me. Was it called? It's called well, the his version was called Juris, but the Brat it's a brand name of fluoxetine right. Okay, it's used also for treating premature, ejaculation, so happy birthday to you as well. Jom, yes, come elut! That absolutely be I and he says, we're only two years away from the government putting this in the water in the water, yeah, okay, okay, so blank makes the run and Grosser can't shoot him. They make a lot of these weird noises, so he's doing like like a kind of a Honkin kind of ape noise. Isn't it and all the way, all the way through every single scene that this kind of Fightin, with grosser he's going he's going pop corn? But on you know what what is, and I could not figure for the life of me. What I was I initially thought it was. You know the but Baba a but but babut.

I assume you know it or you've heard it before yeah sad, then Oheteroa, all he ever see yeah. I all the way to, unfortunately, for you, John, they do say more and I've got a little quest for you on what they do care a lot about one.

This is why we're popular in Britain and nowhere else, e much yeah in a a green Shell Green shall all right. Okay, so this guy, that's a lawyer offers him a business card. It is I'll. Hang on a second now, actually I'll give you one of these. The LIDS got my details on and John I'm not lying I'll be Abe to show you listeners. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see, but John, I am currently writing with my own personal view, amount of seen that on that camera shore yeah, so that's important, we'll come back to that pen later yeah. This is again my thought. That's going to come back if you wanted two hundred and fifty of these pens, John Today, with with with with that company name on that, we that we shall not mention or potentially with the podcast name on not bad idea, they'll cost you he'll, cost your tenor, a hundred and fifty pence. Well, that's good enough plus that so we'll figure that shit out and not to order those, because that's I mean who uses pens, cool the pets dame from Damer and Greggs in this film.

Indeed, it is indeed it is gross point, nepotism, Tis Hollywood, it's just what happened and she died for a moment. This character crashed a car on some ice and died for a moment. Everyone in this kind of this scenes really falling apart, aren't they yeah, I lit a miss. I think the whole thing is that blanks meant to be the most together. Strangely, like a you know, you start the film thinking he's the least together and actually turns out east the most together, but he sees this character tracy and a baby. This baby by the way cute o sweet one. These big guys are fantastic. That baby will be twenty four now John Jesus God g field old jet is he?

Noong 2014 ay nasa huling taon na ako ng kolehiyo at katatapos lamang ma-compile ang 1,200 hours sa OJT. Agad naman akong natanggap sa isang cake shop bilang isang sales lady o cashier. Sa trabaho kong iyon ay labin dalawang oras ang aming pasok kada araw, at tuwing katapusan ng buwan ay nagkakaroon kami ng meeting na susundan ng maliit na salu-salo.Isang gabi ay nagmadali akong umalis pagkatapos ng aming meeting. Inabot na kasi kami noon ng alas diyes ng gabi at...."Bisita"Magandang gabi po, Sir Jupiter. Ako po ay tubong Aklan sa barangay Batan.Ako po ay nakakakita ng mga di karaniwang bagay-bagay sa paligid. Nagsimula ito matapos akong malaglag sa hagdan ng aming eskwelahan noong ako'y nasa elementarya pa lamang.Isang umaga, mag-isa akong nanonood ng telebisyon sa bahay. Maya-maya ay nakarinig ako ng katok sa aming pinto. Noong una ay hindi ko iyon pinansin, bata pa lamang ako noon at abala sa pinanonood kaya nang hindi pa rin matigil ang mga katok ay padabog akong tumayo.Pagkita ko sa pinto ay nagulat ako...dahil bumukas iyon ng kusa. Sa tapat ay mayroong....."Sa Burol"Hello po Sir Jupiter.

Ang sabi sa amin ay doon kami matutulog sa punerarya dahil ang nanay at tatay ko raw ang magbabantay ng gabing iyon.Naalala kong ilang beses ako sumisilip-silip sa kabaong ni lola. Pinagmamasdan ko lang sya, minsan nagdadasal, o kaya naman ay sinusubukan syang kausapin sa isip bilang pamamaalam ko sa kanya.Dakong alas onse ng gabi ay.....

Should we structure visual exercises in the same way as the musical exercise packet?

For centuries, Rajasthan has been a gold mine of oral traditions and histories, with Padma Shri Vijaydan Detha being one of the foremost storytellers of all time. His stories, collected from the common folk of Rajasthan, mark an important intervention in 20th century Rajasthani literature. Giving a new lease of life to his writings, Timeless Tales from Marwar is a handpicked collection of folk tales from the everlasting works of Detha's celebrated Batan ri Phulwari meaning ‘Garden of Tales'. Collected and written over the span of nearly fifty years, this fourteen-volume assortment of Rajasthani folk stories earned him the moniker-the Shakespeare of Rajasthan. On this episode of India Booked, Ayushi Mona talks to Vishes Kothari, a financial consultant, native of Sadulpur in Rajasthan with a keen interest in the oral and musical traditions of his state. He has been associated with UNESCO-Sahapedia on projects focussed on the musical traditions of women in Rajasthan, and as a language expert with the Jaipur Virasat Foundation.

Nigeria has been losing about 44,000 barrels of crude oil daily since Saturday following the shutdown of the Odidi and Batan oil flow stations by protesting youths in some Delta oil-producing communities. Aggrieved youths from Odidi/Kantu and Diebiri-Batan communities in Warri South West Local Government Areas are protesting against alleged nonpayment of bills owed the host communities by the major oil-producing companies. The protesting youths had vowed that the station would remain shut until the operator, Neconde Energy Limited, had cleared all bills owed the host communities. The spokesperson for the Diebiri Batan community, Mr Peter Dio, insisted that the Batan flow station would remain shut until the alleged debts owed the community were cleared. He accused Neconde Energy Limited of reneging on its agreements with the community. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SGT Fred Castaneda is a proud veteran Paratrooper who served in Vietnam with the 23rd Infantry Division commonly referred to as the Americal Division. https://americal.org/cmsaml/   The Americal Division is a  contraction of "American, New Caledonian Division". This was unusual, as most U.S. divisions are known by a number. After World War II the Americal Division was officially re-designated as the 23rd Infantry Division. However, it was rarely referred to as such, even on official orders.   The link below is a short biography of SGT Castaneda recorded by the University of Texas at Austin by the Voces Oral History Project back on January 18, 2010.  https://voces.lib.utexas.edu/collections/stories/fred-castaneda Fred was drafted and like a lot of draftees he tried to control a little of his own destiny by volunteering to be a Paratrooper.  He paints the picture very well in explaining how even though he scored very high on his entrance exam he was given very few options because he was not a United States Citizen.  He made the best out of a not so good situation.     I am learning after just my 10th interview, Fred was not different from many veterans, he moved on quickly after he was discharged and put his time in the military behind him, he jumped with both feet into being a very successful civilian, son, husband and father. After two decades Fred landed in the heart of the Army which is North Carolina, the home of the 82nd Airborne, XVIII Airborne Corps, FORSCOM, and the US Army Special Operations Command. He had some time on his hands and decided to visit a recruiting office and there his passion returned as a Soldier & Paratrooper.   Fred is dealing with complications from Agent Orange & PTSD. Hi days are now spent like a lot of veterans who served in Vietnam at the Veterans Administration Hospital. His stories about the media resonated with me all too well and his stories about being a PIG Gunner (this is the affectionate name given to the M60 Machine Gun) was very well told.  You will hear that SGT Fred Castaneda has an excellent radio / podcast voice and if you would like to hear more from Fred he hosts his own podcast at the http://podcastreporter.com/.  He has helped me as a  fledgling podcaster get off the ground.    Timeline: Start - Fred is drafted while in College 3m:15s - Volunteered for Airborne along with his buddy 4m.20s - Talk about Fred’s Bio from University of Texas 8m.1s - Why Fred joined the Airborne 12m.15s - Coming Home from Vietnam 18m.43s - Recondo School Instructor 22m.17s - Yom Kippur War,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War 24m.38s - Failed Recruiting Program  26m.44s - Arrived in Vietnam 29m.50s - Injured on an airborne operation at Nijmegen drop zone 33m.15s - Parachute Redeployment Duty  36m.19s - Resurgence in pride & honor of being a Paratrooper  39m. 6s - Adjusting to Civilian Life 42m.45s - Myths around the Army 45m.323s - Engaging the Enemy in Vietnam & Friendly Fire 50m.58s - Dealing with the Media (or as Fred calls it the LAME STREAM MEDIA) 52M.17S - Respect for the Helicopter Pilots & Medics    53m.28s - Best & worst experience in Army 58m.19s - Humorist stories it pass along 1h.03m.27s - Follow up on serious moments 1h.0m.25s - Donut Dolly - Red Cross  1h.15.42 - What does your career look like today 1h.18m3s - Parting thought - A line from the movie Batan  1h.19m - Closing Comments

Stefan Batan gästar podden! Stefan har en lång och framgångsrik fotbollskarriär bakom sig. Vi pratar självklart en hel del fotboll, och framförallt om vad som har hänt de senaste åren med Assyriska och Syrianska. Vi hade ett mycket intressant och öppet samtal där Stefan verkligen talar från hjärtat, och ger sin syn på vad som har hänt med fotbollen och vårt folk.

Vi firar en finfin premiär (och att Simon Johansson var bäst på plan), tycker att Batan borde snacka mindre bajen och blickar framåt mot Brage på PARKEN.

Stefan Batan tog den långa vägen upp från Assyriskas egna akademi och fick debutera som 18-åring på anirka Bårsta IP. Vägen gick sen vidare mot Djurgården där han inte riktigt trivdes och inte blommade ut som tänkt, utan han kom hem till Assyriska för att hitta glädje och stabilitet. Efter den vändan i Assyriska så vände allt och han blommade ut och vart en medlem utav den grönvita familjen i Hammarby. Allt annat efter det är historia, Batan vart en enormt stor favorit hos fansen och kommer nog va de lång tid framöver. Nu är han tillbaka i moderklubben Assyriska för att hjälpa dom tillbaka upp i finrummet. Men lättare sagt än gjort ..

She works with her clients to help them stop fighting to fit in, and identify how their difference is the key to their continued success. Jennifer, welcome to the show. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:01:21] Hi Jeena, thank you for having me. Jeena Cho: [00:01:23] So let's just start with having you give us a 30 second overview of who you are and what you do. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:01:31] So as you know, I'm Jennifer McClanahan-Flint and I'm an executive career strategist. And my goal is to work with women of color and really help them face the future with anticipation and not apprehension. I think so often we feel so uncertain about what we should do and how we get there, and how does race, bias, and discrimination impact that. And so what I really do to work with my clients is give them certainty about who they are, their value, and what they want, so that they have the capacity to navigate uncertainty, especially in these uncertain times. Jeena Cho: [00:02:12] Yeah, and I think that's such a hard practice, to be become more comfortable and finding ease in light of uncertainty. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:02:22] Absolutely. I mean you know we talk about in your work is focusing on mindfulness and meditation, and being mindful about who you are I think is one of the biggest challenges that we have as individuals. Jeena Cho: [00:02:36] Yeah. So I wanted to have you on the show for so many different reasons, because I just so admire all the work that you are doing. But I wanted to specifically talk about diversity and inclusion, and also just the impact of being a woman of color in the legal industry. So, you work a lot with lawyers, I guess just maybe we can start by talking about (I feel like the words diversity and inclusion get thrown around a lot, but) what does diversity actually mean to you? Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:03:12] So diversity really is all about difference ultimately. I mean, I think we can use diversity in different context, but difference is at the root of what diversity is all about. Now when we think of it from an equity standpoint, and we talk about diversity, it's about differences that impact social status and differences that impact access to resources and opportunity. And then other privileges and disadvantages of entire groups of people in a community, based on their diverse attributes. Jeena Cho: [00:03:45] Which leads me to my next question, why does it matter, why does diversity matter? Why should law firms care about diversity, why should we as individual lawyers care about diversity? Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:03:56] Absolutely, right? I mean we hear diversity is good, but why is diversity so good? But ultimately, diversity helps us learn. It encourages us to think critically and differently, and consider information more accurately and open-mindedly. And ultimately, that's really what we all want. It prompts us to think creatively instead of making assumptions about what we all know or believe. And that in turn actually cultivates growth in us. Because often when we don't have diversity, we all kind of think and assume the same things. I mean, we're comfortable with the friends that we have because our friends think like us. And so what we really want is diversity so that we're with people who stop and make us think. Jeena Cho: [00:04:40] Yeah, and there's so much research out there about how teams that are more diverse are actually more successful, but also that they also have more conflict. And it makes perfect sense, because if you have carbon copies of each other, if all the people on your team went to the same law school and grew up in the same neighborhood.. I mean not that every single one of those people are going to think the exact same thing, but that you will be biased because of your life experience and perspectives. And we want to have a group that has huge range of different life experiences and cultural backgrounds, and just a different way of viewing things. And I think we can often forget that the way that I view the world may be very very different than the way you view the world. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:05:32] Right? And you know, this actually brings up a couple of tensions in diversity. Right? Because all that diversity is really good, and most people are really good with "makes things different diversity," "makes things interesting diversity." Diversity that's interesting, you've traveled the world, maybe we're all lawyers but you grew up here and you've had this experience; "it makes things interesting diversity," when you get to know, people we like that. But then there's the "makes me uncomfortable diversity," which is really kind of at the root of what we're talking about, diversity that makes you stretch and that makes you grow. Because "makes things interesting diversity" means that at some level, you're asking them to be included in how you see the world. Right? So they might be different, but there's also this ability for them to come over to your side of the fence, right? Or you can go over to their side of the fence, which brings inclusion in areas that you're already comfortable, not really stretching. "Makes me uncomfortable diversity" is the diversity where you're like, I don't even know what to say to this person; I'm not sure how to communicate. It's so vast and inclusion becomes something about equity, where everyone has an equal voice at the table, not that everybody's comfortable at the table. Jeena Cho: [00:06:45] Yeah, and it's been so interesting ever since the election, it almost seems like there's like a hyper-focus on diversity and inclusion. And at the same time, as as a woman of color I never had such a moment where I felt so uncertain and just fearful, you know? And I talk to a lot of people, especially people of color that feel this way. And I think it's almost hard to relate to that or even understand what that feels like. I mean you know, I'm an immigrant. And because of that, I have certain life experiences and perspectives, and I always sort of bought into this idea that you come to America, you work hard, you do what you're supposed to, and that you'll have a place where you can have a sense of belonging; which is what diversity and inclusion is all about. It's like having a place where you feel secure and safe and you can express who you are as a person. And I don't feel that way, it almost seems like the foundation that I lived on has completely shifted. And now I feel fearful; I feel fearful for my safety, I feel fearful for other people of color and their safety. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:08:03] And you know, it makes me think of a couple of things. Just as I work with my clients, and this is just something that I learned as I work with my clients, like how do they feel and how do we manage it and how do I manage my own feelings around that. Because I absolutely echo, I've never felt so uncertain in the world as I do now, in a country that is my country; there is no other place for me to be. And one, as as a woman of color, as executive level work, a very successful career. Part of what I've been able to do, and other women of color do all the time, is they're like an ambassador to so many different cultures. You have the capacity to figure out how to make people comfortable with you in a culture that's not your own, right? You learn, whether consciously or unconsciously, how to adapt and study a culture so that your presence makes other people comfortable, right? Makes you fit and gives you opportunity. I think it's very unconscious when we do that, and there was some certainty about being able to be your level of safety, or when you weren't safe. Like you could go into a culture and know I'm not safe in this culture, I don't want to be in this culture, and I'm going to go back to myself and find out how do I navigate an area that's outside of who I was fundamentally or who I was raised to be. And now I'm working with all these white males, how do I make myself comfortable in this culture? [00:09:37] And those things that we've known, and known how to navigate for so long are off the table I feel. So this certainty that you've navigated with being different and being comfortable with being different, and knowing when your difference is something that people can accept and can go with and that you'll have opportunity, and know instinctively that's not my group and I'm not going to try and be part of that group. Now all of that to me, it's a surprise personally how many people are comfortable with racism. Not to say they are or they aren't racist, but there's so many people that either are not conscious of it or are comfortable with it, it gives me pause. Which goes back to my bigger issue of "makes me uncomfortable diversity," "makes me uncomfortable diversity" is only successful with leadership. You have plenty examples around the world, and we can now look unfortunately in the United States, where diversity raises conflict. "Makes me uncomfortable, I am not comfortable with you diversity," conflict is prevalent. The thing that makes "makes me uncomfortable diversity" work is leadership, and you can do it within your organization. And we need it here in our country. But what our leadership is giving us now, and I don't mean simply our president, I would say from our congressional leadership, from our media leadership, is that we're digging in to our differences and making those the things that are most important. As opposed to the fact that our differences are the things are going to make our country better, smarter, stronger. Jeena Cho: [00:11:10] Right, and again I just just shifting and not looking at just the political landscape but even when you look at the Fortune 500 companies, and their leadership makeup. And it's just nauseating, just how white, older white male that those positions are held by. And it also feels exhausting, because it's like every one of those companies probably have a diversity statement and a commitment to diversity. But then it's like, you can't tell me that you're truly committed to diversity when you don't have any person of color on your executive team or on your board. But yet they will very strongly argue with you that they deeply care about diversity and inclusion, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:12:05] Well, I'm not their minds. I'm not in their head so I don't know what they're thinking about that in particular. You know, I work with individuals who are in this situation. And basically I look at my clients and I say, "What else would you do?" So you know, can you understand why they say that they're diverse and they're not? Probably not. But here you are a diverse woman, in this organization. So the question isn't what do they think of you, the question is what do you think of yourself and how are you going to navigate it? Because what is your option, what are your options? Where are you going to go? You can't decide to not be a part, you've got to go make a living. You've got to go use this education, you've got skills and values and things that you're contributing. So the question isn't how can I make them more diverse or more understanding or more aware or more woke. I mean hopefully they get there, but the work I do with my clients is about how do you navigate this? Jeena Cho: [00:13:07] Yeah I mean, it's almost like moving past the point of "this is unfair." Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:13:12] It's been unfair for years, I mean that's the other thing I think when I look at our political landscape. I want to say, yeah I'm not down with our current president, but our current president hasn't done anything that has not been happening in corporate America for years. To all of a sudden point to the president like, we have a problem. He is just outlying, he is laying bare the problem that has been there since the founding of the country. Since any woman, no matter what her color, has decided to go and become part of the workforce. Women of color, I mean if there wasn't a problem we'd have a plethora of black, female CEO's. I mean look, there's not a harder working, more understanding, more compassionate, more flexible group of women or people on this earth as black women. And to know that there's not many black CEO's, we don't need a President Trump to tell us that there's a problem. So I think it's clear now that we have a problem. I think it's really clear that the people who used to say, oh we love diversity and we love you we just don't really know how to do it; there's a little bit more to that, like you don't want to do it. And that's what I think this current climate has shown us, that they're really comfortable not being diverse. It's not that they just don't know how to not be diverse. And it's a front and it's shaky ground, right? Then there's this, we can't really give the benefit of the doubt like we've done before because we know it's been intentional, and now we know it's really intentional. Jeena Cho: [00:14:55] Yeah, you know I spent a lot of time traveling around the country and speaking at all of these different bar organizations, and I'm just shocked. I mean this is the legal profession, we're supposed to be the ones that uphold the law and hopefully create a more diverse and equitable world, and just so many of these conferences I go to are just full of white men that are speaking on these panels. And so sometimes I'll actually reach out to the organizer and be like, you know 86 speaker and you had two people of color; those are not great odds nor numbers or statistics. And they'll say, well you know we just really wanted to have the best speakers. And I'll say, well what did you do to go about actually finding diverse speakers? Well you know, I just asked all of my colleagues. Well how many of your colleagues are people of color, how many are women? And they're like, well I have one black lawyer friend. And it's like, no. And so I think that actually is what contributes to what's happening. It's like we tend to have circles of friends or acquaintances, or we work with people that are like us. You know, I think there is just that like tried mentality to want to have a sense of belonging and security and safety with other people that are like you. And it's really uncomfortable to reach across the aisle and reach out to people that are different from you, whatever the dimension that may be. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:16:39] So I think what complicates that (just to go in), what complicates that is that when you do decide that you're going to be diverse, your diversive people who make you uncomfortable. So even if you get past the idea that we need to branch out and I need to have a wider net, so that I can begin to incorporate diverse perspectives and ideas in what I know and what I practice in a particular industry, in a particular organization. It's only done if I'm comfortable with this level of diversity, but I will not go to diversity that makes me uncomfortable. So I think that's even, there's a strata there. Which compounds it, because then people think they're being diverse because they have a black friend, right? I'm diverse because works there, but it's because they're comfortable with those women. And what's happening, to me which makes me so sad, is that part of what's making them comfortable is that that person finds himself oppressing a part of themselves in order for that group to be comfortable with the fact that it's "makes things interesting diversity," not "makes me uncomfortable diversity," right? Jeena Cho: [00:17:48] Yeah, and and we've also had to learn to walk that tight rope, to make people comfortable. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:17:58] Absolutely, but what my work is is about stop walking the tightrope. Because this is the bottom line - what we've done is we've tried to fit in, right? So you become successful, you start to get at a certain level in your career, and you attain success. And then you kind of plateau and it's frustrating, like why can't we get beyond? And we tell ourselves that we're going to do all the right things, and all those right things are about trying to fit when you don't fit. Like, it's apparent that you aren't "WMP", white male partner, white male privilege, white male whatever you want to call it. And at some level you stop fitting, no matter what your actions are. [00:18:41] And so, the answer that I have found that makes my clients successful, is that you start digging into why you're different. Because if you're there and you start leveraging your difference, you start leveraging different perspectives, you start leveraging different ideas, you start coming at things in a way that's surprising, and your difference becomes an asset. And it's unfortunate, it shouldn't be our responsibility to make that happen, but it is what it is so what are you going to do? Jeena Cho: [00:19:12] Yeah. And I think this line of conversation actually leads very nicely into what I want to talk about with you, this idea of mindfulness. So when you were talking a little bit earlier about being with what is uncomfortable, that is almost like a definition of mindfulness, right? It's like okay this is really, really hard and this makes me feel really, really uncomfortable. And this is a really difficult thing for me to acknowledge about myself or my world, but despite that I'm going to show up for it. So talk about diversity and how it's related to mindfulness. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:19:55] And I think I'm going to go back to my definition that makes me uncomfortable to. I think make makes things interesting. Diversity there are different for me but they are interesting and are kind of like doesn't really wounded self to mindfulness like makes me uncomfortable. Diversity is when you have to stop and think about your next word. [00:20:13] It makes what you say and how you think more thoughtful and intentional. So if you're with if you don't have black people in your life and you are across the table negotiating with someone and ethnicity comes up and you have to say black or African-American and you're asking yourself like well do I say black or do I say can I say. I don't know how to reference. Suddenly you become a lot more mindful and everything that happens in that conversation not just around the topic. The same thing is if it's a transgender person. Do I say he she or they. Yeah. Like if I have to he said or she but I don't know what to say. You stop and become very intentional sometimes even to the point where you ask the person what would they like to be called. Like. Like if it's something that you actually have to name. If you look at someone and they have a disability do I look at their disability or do I not get their disability. I don't know what to do in a situation. [00:21:09] Typically what we do because we're so uncomfortable is avoid it. You say they're not a good fit. This isn't going to work. I don't know what to do. Instead of leaning into the fact that I don't know what to do it's going to disrupt what I do about everything is going to everything and that conversation becomes so much more aware. You're aware of so much more intentional so much more in some ways it becomes collaborative because you have to let go of what you assume to be true or what you seem to know because you know you don't know you're so uncomfortable because I don't know how to swim in this water. And that's why I think it becomes like mindfulness it I mean you're in a situation where you are so ultra aware of everything you say and everything you do and that it's really good for us. Jeena Cho: [00:21:59] Yeah. [00:22:01] Yeah. And you know I think it's outrageous. Like all worthwhile naming that it gets not easy and had evidence of Albia like you know a life long journey like learning to be what what's difficult and not running away from that. And also like screwing up and you know finding your way through it you know as just having a confrontation with this partner and he shared with me he goes you know it's not that I don't care about their recent inclusion it's not that I don't want to help women and people of color succeed. And my team is he said but I just feel like every time I try I don't do it right. I get angry at me for not using the right language or you're not seeing things properly. And you know I'm. And people like jumped down my throat for it and then you know and I can see that being Harga. And so I think you know what part of what has happened is we need to sort of give each other a little bit of a benefit of doubt and I certainly don't. I [00:23:08] swear it's like someone's actually trying to be helpful but it's like if you just use the wrong word. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:23:13] I know I had a telephone number seminar's by Allison Park she's from Fleet consulting and she gives us you know she gave these bullet points on how diversity helps us learn and these are from studies that she's just kind of summarized and she says you know one way that diversity helps us long is it jolts us into cognitive action in ways that homogeny simply does not how much data it does it does it do. And I think that that sense of adequacy right. I mean this is what happens is you feel incompetent when you don't know how to make something successful and it's very interesting because when you're with a white male in an organization that is the assumption is that they're competent that's just the SNP and if they're not they can quickly learn how to be corrupt. Part of it is a cultural advantage that helps them to be able to do it but when they get in in a situation where they are not. Not only is there anxiety around not being able to be competent and there's a sense of conscious incompetence. They also haven't learned to be resourceful enough to reach out to get the help they need to become competent and in some ways that's not that's frowned upon right. That may have because somehow you think you think that I've made it through my smarts and my intelligence without understanding really you've made it through privilege. [00:24:47] You've always had a hand up but now you need a hand up in a different way from people that you aren't accustomed to getting a hand up from. It's really having the flexibility to be able to want to learn how to be successful in this way and make it work. [00:25:04] And it's becoming conscious of wanting to be comfortable being and competent until you get cocktease competence. Jeena Cho: [00:25:15] Yeah. [00:25:15] And that's especially hard for for loners because I now everything was supposed to be perfect. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:25:24] But you know on the other side of that people of color have to do things they don't have a choice but to do it like they they are there they come in unconscious of of of law firm culture. Let's just name more culture is what it is right. It's challenging for anyone to come into law from culture and learn regardless of what your race is as a woman of color to come into law firm culture you know you got to be totally comfortable with failure. You have to be totally comfortable with people mistreating you. People misunderstanding people making assumptions and you get up and magine deal and then go on to be even more successful. I mean so it so it's not this sense like it can't be done or it's so hard or I understand I don't really understand women people of color. [00:26:12] They have to they had to do it when they walk in the room and they have to fail and they have to recover and then to recover gracefully and they learn how to do it. I mean that's why it's so like if we really had equity in the world black women would be CEOs of so many companies right. Jeena Cho: [00:26:28] And they are judged more harshly when they fail than their white male counterpart. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:26:34] Yeah which is why I think we talked about earlier this need to build relationships like that so often people of color lead with relationship building. You know everyone fails but when you fail it's deemed so much harsher. So the Chet the challenge the coping mechanism that we do is build relationships so that other people share their credibility when we do. All right. The cushion that fall for us by vouching for understanding mentoring. Right. They share their privilege with us to give us some benefit of the doubt. Yeah and that's a lot of work. Jeena Cho: [00:27:10] It does. Yeah that's some really. [00:27:15] It is exhausting. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:27:16] We do it. We do it everyday we do it consciously we do it as a matter. You do it in school you do it when you're in law school you learn how to do this. So I think that's why I think the work I do with women is so important because they have skills just based on who they are. They've had to develop and it had to refine and refine and incorporate it so much they didn't even notice anymore. It's just how they navigate the world that their white male counterparts have never really had to build. They've never really had to be resilient in the same way. And so it's when you begin to recognize that you have skill sets and you will find them in a way that other people just haven't even had to think about dealing with. How do you start employing that in your day to day work. How do you start identifying that is making different and many times making you better. How do you wear that right and how do you start to navigate that instead of continuing to think that if I keep adapting and keep blending in and keep doing all the right things are going to notice all they really notice is that you're different. They don't notice the things that the skills that you want until you tell them about the skills and why they need to notice them and why your difference makes those skills so prevalent and how you operate and how you navigate your career and your work. Jeena Cho: [00:28:35] Yeah. [00:28:36] What do you think about leadership why weren't taught thinking about diversity efforts. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:28:42] You know until we have leaders that understand that they're missing out of market opportunities right. They're missing client opportunities by not having diversity. Right. They're missing out on innovation by not having diversity and become committed to it be great if they were committed because of social justice perspective. But even if it was a gender justice perspective. Right. And it was a perspective of how do we continue to make our organization thrive. [00:29:11] Right. And how do we continue to have the skilled workforce that we need. We need to be able to tap people's right. And communities that we don't have because they're not part of our network. Unless leadership really decides to do it it's always going to be an uphill battle and you cannot manage makes me uncomfortable. Diversity without commitment from leadership be it doesn't. You have one offs right. I mean sometimes that's what I find in my work which you know I work with. The only way you know I work with the only woman here the only black woman doing this. The first Asian woman to do this. You know that that's who I work with and really for us to have true diversity leadership has to be committed to it. And they have to be able to make space for incompetence around diversity. Right. Until people learn and they have to be committed to social justice within their organizations so that it's equitable that people are rarely truly acknowledged and promoted based on what it is that they bring to the table. And you can't do that. I mean you can't do that without leadership train. Jeena Cho: [00:30:24] I feel like this is such a complicated and complex issue but dangerous thoughts about someone is like oh hey like I you know I want to try to be more mindful and aware of these diversity inclusion issues because I am part of privilege and I may not see the world the way that or I may not express the world that other people of color women experience. I'm what. Like what are some things that they can do what are some steps like what does that journey like even look like you know. Because I think sometimes what happens is like you don't making the men kind of feel like well this isn't my problem this isn't my issue. Like it's not like I I can't be the one to look at a panel and say I'm not going to speak on that panel because you don't have any women or you know like you have a diversity problem here because some people might look at them and say well why do you care. Are you a white male like this helps you. Why do you care. I just some thoughts about you know how do you even begin that journey. Yeah I just increasing your own awareness. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:31:32] You have to decide that maybe maybe it does concern me in a just because I'm a white male and I have white male privilege doesn't mean things continue to go on in our organization exactly as they are. We really have the support the knowledge the innovation the work force to continue to really be at the top of our game right. There's a buy now finite number of excellent white males but a lot of white males attorneys are mediocre. Right. And there's a finite number of really excellent white males attorneys. Who else are going to be your excellent attorneys to do the work in your firm. Number one and number two if that concerned you then you have to do a little education. I mean Google is your friend right. [00:32:23] I mean at this point if you understand diversity equity social justice if you don't know what redlining means if you don't understand the impact of racism the impact of slavery right the impact of immigration. You could just do some google. You have to leave your office. You don't have to go anywhere and talk to anyone. You could do some googling. Right. And if there's something that comes up that makes you really comfortable go google things that don't make a profile and do a little research you're a little learning with this great book that I read it's called white and white like me and I forget Debbie and I can't remember her last name. [00:32:59] She wrote this book and she it's hardly her discovery of understanding how white she is in America and she didn't grow up thinking that White was a culture. [00:33:09] She thought that white people were all individuals and that other people had culture and that she grew. It's. It's really a it was a fantastic read. [00:33:22] First of all she uncovered a lot about American history that cultivate this idea that white people are individual contributors when really they benefited as a group based on policy. Right. [00:33:35] So she outlines in a way that so relatable but it was also fascinating for me to read how white people think like I read it like I'm not a white person. I don't I don't think like white people I wasn't raised that way and reading her talk about how white people think the world was just such a revelation to me. [00:33:52] It was set to publish it. And I think of other like of other people read white people read that book. They were told not everyone of course but they would resonate with her point of view and her perspective. So if you want to be able to lean into it then you need to do some work. [00:34:07] Maybe you don't if someone tells you you know a math problem and you don't understand the math problem but you really want to get better in math what do you do. You do the work until you start to understand the math problem you don't just say oh math doesn't really exist. Oh [00:34:23] that's that's not a valid point. If enough people say it and it's a point you go figure out why don't I see this. I'm going to figure out the math problem. You know racism social injustice right discrimination bigotry. It existed and exist as much today as it has ever in our country. And so if you don't understand it and you can't see it then you have to be dedicated to learning and you have that. I [00:34:48] mean to me it's basically the growth mindset just because I don't know it doesn't mean it does. That's my. Jeena Cho: [00:34:52] Yeah yeah. And also there's no I don't think a singular version of the truth. I mean like I always feel like sometimes people look to you and be like OK like explain this old like Black Lives Matter nothing to me I like explain I like whatever the topic is and they sort of look to you as a black person on the emperors or whatever to like sort of give them this collected answer that will Juni apply to every Asian woman or every black woman. It's like no no no. I asked her for her dislike is this entire style. [00:35:30] This has been on my mind since. Cornel West has been talking about Banaszak coat's right. And there's this thing going back and forth on whether they agree or they agree. And to me it is the perfect example of assuming that black people are Wachira as a group like they're like white people do not see themselves as a group. They might join a group right. They might decide they want to be democratic they might decide they want to be a Republican liberal liberal. They might decide they want to be religious. They might decide they want to lead and they might decide that they wanted to be part of a group but they do not see themselves as a collective. But they assume everyone outside of what they don't think is a group is a group is their own individual group. [00:36:19] And then they judge them as a group. And if we could actually talk to people as individuals because every person is on the spectrum right we know that I really learned this from doing work with gender diversity right. And people on the gender spectrum and gender inclusion and gender identity is so individual that you cannot make a blanket statement about gender and what gender means and what you call so one unless you just can't make a blanket statement and you begin to understand it based on how that person views themselves right when that person guides how you view their gender based on how they see themselves not on how you see them. There is no he or she really period right we're all somewhere on that spectrum. It's the same with whiteness. It's the same with blackness. Black people are across a spectrum of how they view being black and their experiences being black. And so this idea that white people also aren't on a group and that and that as individuals within that group they're on a spectrum. If they could begin to see themselves that way they could begin to see other groups that way. [00:37:38] And I think some you know a big root of why the block is because they think they've been we've all eaten the be who he wanted self-determination and if you work hard enough and strong enough then you can you know make it and do whatever you want to do. And it's a rugged individualists on we we drank off of that bottle since the day we were born and we believe it as Americans that is so absolutely true but it really only applies to white people because white people do not see people of color as individuals. [00:38:11] They see them as groups I mean this is a generalization but ultimately I think that's what happens. Jeena Cho: [00:38:20] Yeah and I guess we should all as I put like a footnote and say like to be fair and we truly understand not every white person thinks. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:38:28] Yes I do. [00:38:30] I like it or not I think but I think more often or not that's the deal that would say that's something that I started to pay really close attention to is what media consuming think just an era of fake news. And you know I was really really surprised like I went back and I looked at all the books that I purchased from Amazon the last couple of years and I looked at like my partners and look that who am I. Follow me on Twitter who are my friends. But on Facebook and just shockingly white when I was like who you really surprised. Just like how many books I read by you know white male. And so I actually had to be like like just a little bit more conscious about you know what am I consume because I think what you consume obviously is going to impact how you view the world. And if you're only viewing the world with this particular lens and it's hard to kind of get all the different perspectives on it. So I've been just making a more conscious effort to really pay attention to you know who who. Who do I engage with on on Twitter and Facebook and as they were saying or is it a group that I feel good about or do I feel like I get different of opinions and perspectives. And do they challenge me on my police. And how do I react when I feel like you know what I noticed what I thought I knew to be true is being challenged. [00:40:00] Zain I think that's perhaps one place where we can all start to kind of see our own unconscious bias. And you know I absolutely like a way that we can just be more mindful and be more mindful of know when you go out to Happy Hour on Friday and like look around like who we know who are the people that are joining you for happy hour and now you see people that you see week after week after week and if they're all sort of carbon copies of you know what are you really doing to get yourself out of the comfort zone. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:40:31] Yeah. Deseret Attaway she runs the diversity 101 program and I took her last year and one of the challenges was specifically finding someone who believes something totally different from you and just follow them on social media in what they write. Don't comment don't say anything just follow and I've followed a group that was a pro you know pro life group. Not that I don't believe in pro life but it was a very interesting to understand how they are this person. [00:41:07] I don't see them. But to humanity than it was it was a way for me to be in a position where I just said Yeah. And I couldn't because the commitment was not to respond or not said anything. I wasn't busy formulating my response. I was really in the position of just listening and it was such a great opportunity to find their humanity. Batan doesn't mean that I changed my mind or that I agreed but I was in the position myself to look or I did not even look for it but just tear it over time because I could. I committed to following them for six weeks. I was just going to listen I'm not going to say a word. And you as you listen you begin to find this shred of where who they are right and what they think. It doesn't again mean that you agree. [00:41:58] But it does sometimes give you the opportunities you make them human. Jeena Cho: [00:42:05] Yeah. And I think you know that's such a basic human need to be seen to be heard to be understood even if they the other person doesn't agree what you know and I think often we can fall into that trap of thinking well I have to agree or we have to agree. And I don't know that that's true. I think there's just so much power and healing actually that can happen just by being seen and being heard even if you don't agree with the other person. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:42:34] Right. And I think that the challenge is having the resource to always stand the ground to say it. So you know you talk about how you know if we talked about white males and their discomfort leaning in. But then you also have people of color whose exhaustion of always standing out. You know I I do promote for my clients that it's turned out to be different but you have to acknowledge it's exhausting. Great you're always educating you're always explaining it. It's a lot it's a lot of work. So you know I just think on that. On the other we have to just be cognizant of the energy that it takes right to be able to support who we are when we're in an environment that doesn't really understand us. Yeah. Another thought thinking about reading I've been reading a lot lately and I was reading some books by white male authors and there were some basic cultural assumptions that they were making that you know prior to doing this work. [00:43:36] I would have read it and just assume what they said was true or just assume that that is the way the world is. And so I just want to put out there like a consciousness I have about being Gary. Like I wrote an article beginning in January about Adam Grant's book. His latest book I can't remember it but there's a S.S book that talks about black people and you know why black people are comfortable with settling for less. Basically it was what the read article I wrote it's on Muggeridge Salita we'd like to find it. And I don't know that two years ago I read that paragraph I would have noted the cultural bias that he's putting out in that paragraph. So even when you're a person of color rate it takes a lot of work and consciousness building and intentionality to be able to name the thing that's happened to you so often experience and you know when you're experiencing racism right you know when someone is discriminating against you but to actually name the dynamic at work and to be able to see it and call it out and and just speak to it right to speak to not only is it happening I understand why it's happening take so it's its own educational journey. It's not something that you will find me when I come to learn about it in school. Not going to learn about it through your family experience you get to talk to your friends and then say oh yeah they were definitely racist but you wouldn't be able to explain why. [00:45:01] And they did talk about what it means and the impact of it and to even let them know that what they've done is not appropriate. And they bring that up because part of when you're in the dynamic when you're an only around people who don't really understand you. Your ability to give voice to bias when it happens in a way that people can't see it and it doesn't necessarily threaten your position. It's a skill that you have to work on consistently. And so I think in reading and educating yourself you know white people yes they need to educate but we also need to be able to educate be educated enough in our own experience to give voice to really what's happening in the. Jeena Cho: [00:45:44] You know is really hard for me to say like I feel like I'm being excluded. [00:45:54] You know. And also I feel like it's like no one's ever going to say like well we're not going to select you for this committee because you're black. Rarely is that ever going to happen. So I think for me there's like this feeling of like crazy making because it's like they there's no it's like OK. Like I feel like I'm being treated a certain way because of my race because of my gender. But that. But when you called and try to call him out on it they'll vehemently deny it like they are. And also I think they may truly believe that they're not acting with any bias when in fact they are. And so I guess I haven't really figured out how to have that conversation and I don't think there's any way of having a conversation without I don't know making them feel uncomfortable. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:46:47] I don't know. I don't know. I think it's a skill. But there are some right there are some basics like is it worth having a conversation. So the question isn't can you have the conversation or do you or should you or shouldn't you or even how the first question is Is it worth having that conversation. But how it would best it might. That's right. Is this my company. What am I going to get out of it. So that has to be the basis of what's in it for me to even have that conversation. And then you then you can decide how do I have the conversation if you indeed you want to. And it's worthwhile having a conversation and that's why I mean when I said earlier when you're a person of color the only you really have to be conscious of your energy smart space and how to use it and how you spend it and how you promote yourself or how you call out is when you need to do it because it is exhausting so it has to be worth it. You have to also be in an environment where they're invested in you right. No matter what that might look like even if they don't know how invested they are in you but they've invested in you. They promoted you they worked with you so that you also have a stake in your development and your ability to help them. So a lot of times the guys I've worked with have a certain level of expertise in an area and people are invested in the help and the expertise that they've developed. [00:48:11] They need them and so it gives them some leverage to come back and say well you need me this is my standard by which I will work with you and the level of respect I need. Is that how I need you to treat me. This is what I need you to understand but you are not doing I cannot continue to happen if you want to continue to work with me. So I think it's not a simple women to go in and defend myself against bias it's why do I have to learn. What do I have to lose. Is this place invested in me. Is it my energy and fighting an organization in a place that needs substandard support that you need to meet. Even if they're not as diverse as they want to be if they are committed to diversity it's going to be a better organization to make that stand to you know an organization that doesn't really care about diversity at all. Does that make sense. I think sometimes we try to make it black and white and it's really art and it's possible it's not. But it has to be worth it. And you have to do some work and then you have to practice good humor troops in a way that helps you move forward. And so what's so interesting in the work that I've done Gina is most people of color actually have the diplomatic way to have those conversations because they've been having them all their lives. They just don't think about being more directly diplomatic. [00:49:35] But once you get to that what's my truth is it worth that and what do I have to lose and am I afraid or will I stand out or not stand out once you get past that issue that actual having a conversation isn't the hardest part because you've been having those conversations all your life really. I mean think about like my husband is white. So I go to his family's house for holidays. [00:49:58] I have worked on being diplomatic I haven't worked on that. I am really good at diplomacy. [00:50:07] That is not that's not us. It's not. I wasn't full or I matter and angry is just is what it is. So to think that I can't transfer that skill that I've honed to in any circumstance that really matters to me. And that's a career defining moment for me and that I want to be on this committee. But you are not allowing any black people on this committee. And how do I raise that. We have the skill to raise it. It's just matter. Is it worth raising it. Do I want to be on that. What does that committee get to do. Is it worth it is it worth it. Be spending my credibility chips on this committee or not. And then how do I build a strategy to be able to say it artfully to the right people. And I think it helps to have someone who can support you a group a community a colleague someone outside of that that can help you. Thank you. How do I raise the question that we just can't raise question. We need diversity in this country. But it is the thing that makes this country great. And we need diversity in organizations that agree that we don't embrace that we fall behind stagnate and it is incumbent on everyone white black brown just matter to embrace how they add to that diversity dialogue. Jeena Cho: [00:51:36] For people that want to learn more about you or your work. Could we use the best place they can go. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:51:43] So the best way is they can go to leverage2lead.com.  I also love to I mean I am so passionate about talking to supporting working with helping women of color that you can reach out to me and support and leverage to lead dot com again it's number two. Let it's you know and I'm happy to you know share what I know and support people in whichever way I can be my my goal is to help take the apprehension right out of college manage our careers and look towards anticipation be rooted with who we are so that we have the capacity to navigate uncertainty. Jeena Cho: [00:52:43] Jennifer thank you so much for being with me today. Jennifer McClanahan-Flint: [00:52:47] Jeena thank you so much for this opportunity for a fantastic conversation.

Stor SM-finalspecial i Istid denna vecka. Alla tror att Frölunda vinner SM-guld, inklusive vår gästexpert Niklas Wikegård.
