VIRUS OUTBREAK After 75 years, WWII legacies soldier on, living ‘Leading through uncertainty’ memories fade BY JOSEPH DITZLER Stars and Stripes TOKYO — History professor Cord Scott likes this analogy when he tries to relate current events to World War II for his students. “We’re watching ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ or, if you like to read, we’re picking up a Stephen King novel and we’re starting at page 450,” Scott said during an Aug. 26 interview. In other words, the legacy of World War II is still rippling through world events and influ- encing history. Even though the war ended 75 years ago, and its warriors are down to a relative handful, the world is still defined in many ways by what they accomplished. Much of what remains from the war is obvious: rusted tanks on lonely Pacific islands or crum- bling pillboxes above French beaches.

They sized up for Stars and Stripes some of the significant legacies of World War II. “World War II put us on the world stage,” Harmon said during an Aug. 19 interview. “We became the bank then, also.” Power projection Former adversaries, the Axis powers, namely Germany, Japan and Italy, today are allies of the U.S., which still bases military forces in each of those countries. Before rising out of the war’s ashes to thrive again, they existed beneath a military and economic umbrella provided by the U.S. and its wartime allies. The value of those alliances is sometimes questioned, but Scott believes they’re still relevant. “On the whole, most America foreign policy officials realize these alliances are necessary,” he said. “They build a strong, cohe- sive interaction and if we try to do things on our own, this can lead to bigger problems down the road.” Western powers after the war divested themselves or were re- lieved of their colonial posses- U.S. Army Signal Corps sions or mandates.
