War and Conflict

This is the Japanese flag during WWII

I watched a video with a few companions and this is what we thought or found out: The Japanese took over Singapore from the British in 17 days. That means that this was the greatest defeat for the British during WWII and the greatest victory for the Japanese. The british brought around 10 thousand British Indian soldiers and the Australians brought about another 10 thousands soldiers but these still could not protect Singapore. Due to the chaos, some twenty two thousand Indian soldiers joined the Japanese and they were called local heros back in their homeland. The first thing that I noticed were the number of bombs dropped on Singapore. I learned never to under estimate you opponents and all those smiling faces that would never come back alive deeply moved me.    

This song was clearly sung to create the impression of comedy and laughter. All of the funny parts like “Oh, they may be playing football. And the crowd is yelling "Kill the referee!"
But no matter what the score, when the clock strikes four, everything stops for tea” just make anyone crack up and would be perfect for depressed soldiers who must be the intended audience. I think that this song has been written from an American because of the way it scorns England. The song refers to people like Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, sports like golf and football, industries, lawyers, and other countries like Russia, France, Germany and Turkey. My mind keeps coming back to the way the singer is almost insulting England and the arrogance of the singer. This is probably during the Boston Tea Party. I think the composer felt revenge that the Boston Tea Party and thats why England is being scorned. The singer probably wants me to scorn England just like him. The phrase “when the clock strikes four...” was the most commonly used phrase in the song and this is the typical tea time for Britain.
