Well all righty then. ^.^
One more for the road though, the one that actually inspired this (and which I forgot to include in the original post): Battle Royale.
See, the first thing that novel made me think of was "So this is what Doug's Japan is like!" It's an alternate present in which Japan never provoked the US, and although Germany and Italy still got smacked down, the Home Islands are still a militaristic nightmare.
Of course, having Doug as the homeroom teacher would completely derail the plot right from the start... I'm sure he'd object to the army transporting his class to a remote region and forcing them to kill each other...
