Wing Commander CIC

It has been said a number of times that the Confederation/Kilrathi war parallels the Pacific theater of WWII with the Confederation as the USA and the Kilrathi as Japan (Chris Roberts himself mentioned the WWII parallel I believe). So far I know of the following specific events being paralleled:

Battle of McAullife = Attack on Pearl Harbor

Battle of Vukar Tag = Battle of Midway

T-Bombing of Kilrah = Nuclear bombing of Hiroshima


Can anybody think of any more events?
