Lost Evidence: "Pearl Harbor" 5 of 5

[Assaultwarfare]

This is why I hate the Japanese

USA, ultimate western superpower...

[pg955203]

@Assaultwarfare Superpower in...? Default the debt? Killing brown people?

[RuiiQi]

Jap deserved e tsunami , the nuke and the whatever ^_^

Im juz sayin

Long Live America

[Brera011]

@RuiiQi I suppose you'ld never buy a Honda, Toyota, Nikon, Canon, Sony or whatever Japanese goods. I bet that at least your TV or stereoset is Japanese. Embrace the thought that we, all mankind, are equal in the eyes of our maker.

[brandolo83]

fu***n' japanese a**holes...i guess they no longer laughed to the atomic bombs dropped in their heads or when the fleet pounded you in those specs of pacific island you called empire...

God Bless America and the WW2 servicemen.

We should all thank those guys

[Some2else]

@redbaron785: dont led hate get the better of you. Todays Japanese are not responsible for the deeds of their ancestors, just as todays Americans are not responsible for the 18th and 19th century killing of the Siouxs, Apaches and other native american indians.

[redbaron785]

even though i'm just 13 years old i have the growing of the hatred on the japs

[22grena]

@redbaron785 Why it was 1941 not 2011

[redbaron785]

@22grena you mind your own business!!!!!!!!!!!

[22grena]

@redbaron785 Why is this a private forum for 13 year olds. You have a lot of growing up to do so dont start it with so much uneducated hate. Hating the japanese from 1941 is one thing and justified but hating them know is just immature.

"Pearl Harbor: The Seeds and Fruits of Infamy", by Percy L. Greaves Jr, is a detailed indictment of the Roosevelt Administration, one that finally and devastatingly rips the lid off a case that has been shrouded in mystery for generations. Because of the astonishing source material and thoroughness of the argument, Robert Stinnett, the leading authority on the topic and the author of “Day of Deceit”, calls Greaves's book "explosive!"

@AsianAmerican68 Shut up Chink. No one cares what a soul-lacking ignorant Asian thinks.

I dont get it... not that I support or oppose the Japanese in anyway (I'm British btw) why did they just turn tail and go home afterwards? Who does that in war? Surely the best thing to do was to stay and take advantage of the crippled island? I just can't think how they thought that was the best strategy for them... or am I missing something big?

[e102ewan]

@Malbo22 The strategical reason for attacking Pear Harbour wasn't to occupy it. They attacked to quickly wipe out the US naval fleet because they knew that a war with the US would be largely fought navally. if they wanted to attack the mainland US (which they didn't) than it would have been a good idea to occupy Hawaii because it is so close compared to the rest of the Japanese empire, but that wasn't their goal and they never even bombed the mainland US.

And 98.9% of the casualties were from democratic wars. Wars, I might add, that were hardly legitimate given the absence of an immediate threat to national security, Clausewitzian, Napoleonic and Machiavellian doctrines notwithstanding. Wars which could have been, and should have been, avoided if the democrats were the God-given purveyors of conflict resolution that they narcissistically purport themselves to be. The implication that democratic-initiated wars are inherently legitimate while

[CaesarInVa]

republican-initiated wars are, by inference, illegitimate illustrate the fallacious, double-standard, cant-spewing hyperbole of the kind popularized by the democratic party. I’ve always been amazed at how democrats can herald their actions as noble, commendable and humanitarian while effortlessly discarding their moral conscience when convenient to decry the same behavior of others as war-mongering, opportunistic and exploitive. If we accept as legitimate the self-serving, political

[CaesarInVa]

opportunistic coercion by Truman and Kennedy of populations (i.e., Korean and Vietnamese) thousands of miles from our borders, in the complete absence of an imminent threat to our national security, to fight wars in an effort to establish a global ideological balance of power and avoid a nuclear confrontation viewed by democrats at the time as inevitable in the absence of limited, low-intensity containment actions, then perforce we must also accept as legitimate the invasion of Iraq and

[CaesarInVa]

Had the incumbent president at the time been a republican, his head would have been on a pike. Democrats would have accused him of negligence and incompetence, perhaps even of knowing of Japanese intentions but not doing anything to exploit political opportunity but because the president was a democrat he was given a pass. Democrats can get away with negligence and incompetence by saying "Oooops, my boo-boo, I'm sorry" but republicans can't. Talk about double-standard bullshit.

[MagnumPI4]

@CaesarInVa usually republicans do the retarded shit

[CaesarInVa]

@MagnumPI4 Usually democrats do the "retarded shit" like getting us into wars. Read your history: WW I, Wilson (dem); WW II, Roosevelt (dem); Korea, Truman (dem); Vietnam, Kennedy/LBJ, take your pick (dems). The only exception is Bush, whose policies and war were expanded by Obama (dem). It is worth noting that of the approximately 666,500 American lives lost during all those wars only 1.1 % were the result of republicans doing "retarded shit", an inconvenient fact people like you ignore.

[MagnumPI4]

@CaesarInVa most of those were legit wars though especially WWII, vietnam was just to prevent the spread of communism. Iraq and afghanistan are just for resources mainly. And you do realize why only 1.1% of casualties are from republican wars. Because of technology. Body armor, precision guided weapons, air superiority. What you just said is like saying Nimitz class carriers have had 0 casualties compared to the tens of thousands recieved on cruisers, destroyers, and battleships in WWII.

[CaesarInVa]

@MagnumPI4 Afghanistan as similar worthwhile endeavors to establish a geo-political balance-of-power between super-powers and to avert a potential conflict of Armageddon-esque proportions as the world’s energy resources become ever more scant and the world’s nations ever more desperate to acquire those resources. But I suppose a sophistry-spewing hypocrite such as you will come up with some banal argument to the contrary.

[MagnumPI4]

@CaesarInVa haha u think ur pretty smart saying that. You basically just agreed with me that Bush Sr. and Jr. waged war for resources. And my point on casualties is correct. In WWII we were fighting equal or better technologically advanced countries.

[drum467]

japan had a way better navy than ours at the begining of the war

[par597]

The Japanese were right to withdraw - a third attack would have probably only prolonged the war slightly depending on the target but the only sure way of a conclusive victory would have either been to invade Hawaii or take out the aircraft carriers, and Yamamoto had no idea where they were. Occupying the Hawaiian islands and blockading the West Coast ports would have been the right move in retrospect.

[innit27]

27 Jap aircraft lost during the attack, most in 2nd wave.

1st Jap POW was a sailor from a midget sub that ran aground on Hawai. He lived to age of 81.

Sadly John Finn passed away in May of this year

[scalesofjustice0]

@snakes3425 Rest in peace... I met a world war 2 vetran... He was a flame gunner... I installed pavers in his yard... He is 85 years old...

[mushidigger]

@scalesofjustice0 flamethrower?

[REVERENDPHAM]

...wouldn't do them much good on the third run, dude; after the second attack, Pearl Harbor was on full alert: men and machines were on ready...any Zero within 200 yards from the harbor would have been turned into metal sushi...including one kid with his Daisy BB gun!!!...

[dougalmac54]

Yeah? Glorious American victory, huh? Many pilots from the Enterprise that reached Pearl Harbor the evening of the attack who were shot down by their own men. Why don't you shove that daisy BB gun where the sun don't shine, bug-wit?

[1986dts]

Japan made a huge mistake by not sending the third are fleet. I mean c'mon, the country travels across the pacific and bails out when they hade the US by its balls. Well too bad for them, you snooze you lose.

[CapitanoGUC]
