I met Barber in 1988. He still looked about the same. He scored 5 kills by wars end but this mission was the one that defined his career.

@808gamerhawaii if this is true , and was in fact " Mad " to have been betrayed & mislead to believe that japanese gouvernment issued a declaration of war before the attact, Why he did not relieve himself from command !.. if he was so brilliant and such a man of honor, .. after he has realized he had committed a act of great cowardice , why he did not commit Hara-Kiri , after all he has disgraced himself whatever you like or not !

@808gamerhawaii who told you that yamamoto was mislead by his gouvernment ,  IF he was so mad and so full of honor as YOU SAID !,. WHY he did not releive himself from command ! after all he must have fell dishonor and ashamed after the attack, .Right !, did you not said he was a man of honor and pride !! WELL ! he could have also commit Hara-Kiri after such shame . that was custom , .NO !

Yamamoto had a great respect for America and was very reluctant to go to war with them, but of course, national pride and honor come before anything else in Japan. I believe he was a respectable man just trying to better his country...and that's coming from a kid from Hawaii.

Well, in the end, he was a sailor in the uniform of his nation's navy. Just like any other casuality in the war.

@1945Sovietunion yeah the americans were obsolete, we were no match for japanese cheaply made weapons and your tiny tanks with toenail thick armour. yeah, the americans were soooo outclassed. -_-

@APhilCollinsFan That wasn't Yamamoto's job. he was led to believe that the japanese government issued a declaration of war before the attack. when he realized it wasn't sent, he was mad because he knew they were doomed to lose. he was a brilliant military mind and despite his disagreements with the government and a war against america. took up arms when his country called. he may have been the enemy, but he was an honorable man.
