That makes sense lol. I am a bit younger but I'm pretty sure there's some faint memories in my mind of bloody socks while riding bikes in the 90s.
Some protection but not near enough

No. We had Wernher von Braun running NASA. And probably lots of others.

My Dad alway said that Hirohito should have been hung at the end of the war, for all the friends that he lost.
Hard to disagree. For all the intricacies of the Japanese government prior to WW2, it's blazingly obvious that if Hirohito had so much as raised an eyebrow, Pearl Harbor would never have happened.

The woman on the left is in big smile mode. Pageant smile. My mom was more of a beatnik.

My grandmother, died back in the mid 2000s about 20 years ago, told me they dressed that way because that’s all they had and would have to constantly do patches and repairs to clothing and shoes. A lot of the time their clothes were hand made by family members to save money during the depression. They would save all their money for food.
