My grandfather was a gunner on the Saratoga when it was hit and I was just wondering where this footage was from.

@AkinaTheKitty peace out

[AkinaTheKitty]

@XlvlaTTyX Don't worry :P America is already going under. China hates you too, yaknow. So once they gain huge power, your country is going to get destroyed! I will be really happy when this happens ^^ Even if mine does, too.

@AkinaTheKitty peace out we will rather transfer our economic power to china and china will defeat u in every way please be gone

@XlvlaTTyX Did you just tell "them" to "learn english", when my English is better than yours, and you're a native speaker? This is my 4th language, and I speak it twice as good as you! You should be fearing the Vietnamese and the Iraqi's. You lost to them afterall ;D

However though, it's easy to realise that you're an ignorant bigot. However I don't blame you. You're only 15, and you are under the American education system. I won't expect you to ever know much about reality. :)

@AkinaTheKitty "after the atomic bombings, they still fight thinking they would win but then truman arrived in tokyo harbor" learn english and be gone nips, we defeat ur country once, remember the policies your country signed

@XlvlaTTyX "Hurr durr epic fail", are you stupid? 1862 Battle of Fort Donelson. American <-- AMERICAN Civil War. I don't know where you get your information from, but it sure isn't correct. Japan hardly "shit themselves". The Red Army already had troops in Japan in 1945. Namely Hokkaido. Japan surrendered as 2 of their cities just got wiped off the map, along with tens of thousands of civilians.

Infact, surrender was being CONTEMPLATED after the first atomic bomb. "still fight thinking"? Wrong

[XlvlaTTyX]

@AkinaTheKitty haha really the occupation of singapore, then korea, then china, then the soviets and close calls on australia and india. really not trying to control asia but epic fail, since when did america surrender? then japan shit themselves because the soviets, allies, uk and china was about to launch a campaign on japan this is all fact, japan surrendered after they heard this news, after the atomic bombings they still fight thinking they would win but then truman arrived in tokyo harbor

[AkinaTheKitty]

@XlvlaTTyX For the record, are you uneducated about American history? Or are you just plain stupid? Japan wasn't the first country to do unconditional surrender. AMERICA WAS.

[AkinaTheKitty]

@XlvlaTTyX You're silly. Japan didn't think "he" could control Asia. Do you know how big Asia is? It stretches from Russia to Pakistan. And no, 1 trillion wasn't a direct time payment. MY country is a fail? Look at everything you stand for in America! The ONLY reason you're a world power is because of your military. Without that, you're NOTHING. NOTHING. People laugh at you, the WHOLE WORLD hates you! And no, Japan is made up PARTLY of Chinese. Yours is FULLY taken from ENGLISH (England, U.K).

[XlvlaTTyX]

@AkinaTheKitty haha i end it here, japan thought he can control the whole asia but only korea and the philippines surrendered and now the japan surrender paying 1 trillion yen, think about it it was the 1950s so it was a lot at that time. ur country= fail betraying the chinese rule, ur language was made up of chinese and china owns most of the east china sea and now japan earned the big frame of earning the first ever unconditional surrender in asia and allowed america to occupy japan
