Have you always dreamed of traveling to Japan but were afraid it would be too expensive and too intimidating? You’re right, Japan could be quite expensive. But despite your concerns, it is such a magnificent place that you will not have lived until you’ve seen it for yourself. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey. (Warning: You may get hooked!) Let a veteran who has lived, worked, and traveled in Japan for over a decade combined show you the way. You’re making a hefty financial investment by choosing to go to Japan. Why let your money go to waste on $100 sushi meals and $500 hot-spring excursion packages, when I could show you how to find cheap sushi that is to die for, and how to relax in the country’s best hot-springs for a fraction of that price? “All-You-Can Japan” does just that – it maximizes the return on your investment in experiencing the enigmatic Land of the Rising Sun. My book does not list the cheapest travel options. It provides you with the smart choices. It allows you to achieve the complete Japanese experience within your set budget, and when you go to Japan it even saves you hundreds of dollars that otherwise would go down the drain.
"There is something sad about a person who blindly sacrifices his life 'for his country, ' for he is unaware of the real issues. If a person can grasp the truth about war, it can't help but color his thinking on such issues as draft dodging. The name draft dodger suggests the evasion of a just debt or obligation. In reality, a draft dodger is either a person who rejects military service on religious or moral grounds-or plainly doesn't want to allow himself to be killed. Any of those reasons should be good enough, and I don't think that he should be persecuted or prosecuted. A person who is willing to sacrifice his life 'for his country' is merely a dupe in the profit game of the military-industrial complex. A man who has the courage to stand up against such twisted idealism and refuse to be sacrificed for profiteers is no coward. My opinion of the draft dodger differs from the opinion of many of my peers, but then, my generation is probably one of the biggest collections of fools on record." - Major Ralph E. Hamilton, WW2 Veteran, 1976
