@356butch Still wrong. Japan was destined to attack the US regardless of what the US ever did. It is the inevitable end game of brigand states like Japan, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and its satellites from Korea to Vietnam to Central America. The Philippines were inevitable targets so Japan could secure its empire. Japanese aggression led to the cutoff of access to raw materials, not FDR. Placing the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii was nothing.

@STP43FAN1 Yes, Japan was a brigand state that would never have attacked the US if it had not been provoked. They would have stayed in China and not tried to take the Philippines, or expand as far into the Pacific. FDR cut off all access to their raw materials, paraded a fleet of heavy cruisers past their home island, had the Dutch cut off their local oil supply and placed the US Pacific fleet in Hawaii where it had not been before 1940. Yes, FDR provoked the Japanese.

@356butch Provoke Japanese action? Japan launched unprovoked war. The US never did anything to "provoke" Japan. Japan was an international brigand state that launched war.

I still hate the japanese

And today, Japan is one of our closest allies and trading partners.

@STP43FAN1 Incorrect. The US took 8 very deliberate steps to provoke Japanese action against the US. Sending a division of long range heavy cruisers into Japanese waters was labeled step D. Placing the Fleet in Pearl Harbor was labeled step F. The US didn't have a long term base there until May of 1940 and the idea was strongly opposed by Admiral Richardson who expressed his concern that Japan would take the move as an act of hostility. Richardson was relieved of duty for his views.

lol. i just watched this in school. epic and nice. tora, tora, tora was a really good movie

@356butch Wrong. Japan had launched war in Asia and kept pushing forward with conquest. The US didn't push them into anything. Deploying the fleet at Pearl by no stretch can be considered a wrongful act by the US.

Awesome clip, but why is the entire film not online? Does anyone have the whole movie online anywhere? If not, can it be downloaded?
