I visited the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii, which I had been eager to see. It is located near Hilton Village, and when I got to the center of Waikiki, I passed the museum. I thought that I could stop by it whenever I wanted, but it was not a top priority for me. There was no admission fee. The government probably wants to make the museum accessible to as many people as possible. I spent a couple of hours pondering the history and achievements of the U.S. army. The activities of the army, from its foundation to the time of the Second World War, were vividly depicted. ot only was that true of the military operations, but of the real lives of servicemen and women. For me, the dropping of the two atomic bombs was the devil's work, carried out by the army. I expected a self-serving description about it, but I wasn't able to find anything relevant to the atomic bombs. I am sure those responsible for it would have felt remorse. The exhibit included old weapons such as tanks, a helicopter, and an aircraft, along with a monument to the fallen heroes. After I exited the museum, I went by the Tesla dealership along Kalakaua Street. They had the Cybertruck there. Although I knew about it, I'd never seen one up close. I sat in its driving seat and felt its real size. It would be too big to drive in Japan; however, I wish I could have one.
