A friend of mine, now deceased (RIP Bert), was on Okinawa when the bombs were dropped on Japan and was assigned to take part in the de-militarization of the coastal defenses post surrender and occupation. He was assigned to stay with a Japanese family and he said they were extremely gracious hosts and treated him like family. After he made 5 beach landings in the Pacific theater and fought them all the way to Okinawa he was expecting a very cold reception on the Mainland and was surprised at how warm the people were to him. They became friends and corresponded for years after the war. I wish I met him sooner.

Good story in how we met... Years ago I had a hobby in cabinet making and woodworking in general and I had a nice shop built into my 2-car garage. One summer I had a special liking for big band music from the 30s and 40s and played it all the time and on warm days I always had one of the doors up. Now I have this huge old maple tree out front of my lot and a couple of nights in a row I noticed this older gentleman standing by the tree sort hiding himself from my view. Finally, I walked out and asked him if I could help him in some way and he answered, "No, I just love your music and I walk over this way to listen". Well, I told him to please not stand here and I brought him up to the shop and provided a nice comfortable chair to sit in while I worked and we had many nice conversations. He lived around the corner on the next block and just happened to be out for a short walk when he heard the music the first time. One of his stories was he sang as a backup singer and blew trumpet with Frank Sinatra a few times in the Poconos and NYC. Later he became a teacher and moved to my town. He and his wife and I and my wife became good friends and socialized a lot together. Bert passed about 15 years ago and his wife passed a year after that. My wife and I will always miss them. I no longer use the wood shop but I still put on the big band music from time to time and can almost see Bert standing by the big maple.

Note that that was what SB2 said, the difference was Trump as deferential as you are with friends and allies, while the Obamamnation was imperial and disingenuous, like the liar he is...The bow thing was seen more of an insult than respectful.
