  • @Valen123456 Hi, no arguement about U.S. intelligence gathering and the resultant strategic decisions but on a tactical level the battle hinged on a handful of men in torpedo planes and dive bombers that were nothing more than targets for the Zero in 1942. Yet they went ahead anyway and in five minutes of history changed the course of the war in the Pacific. Astounding courage. All I'm saying is that I don't accept this bullshit that Americans can't fight.

  • @lunafringe10

    I would rather take American liberation over the brutal Japanese occupation. By the way, it was America's vast military and industrial output that won World War II for the allies and the side of good over evil (I exempt the Soviet Union). For example, over 16,000,000 americans were mobilizied for both the European, African and Pacific theatres against both Germany and Japan and after those nations were defeated, they were democratizied, rebuilt and reborn because of America!

  • all i can say is thank you America in the pacific the americans proved themself beyond any doubt

  • the narrators are over acting and have egos to match. the computer graphics are using wrong images. i cant take it anymore.

  • I don't side with any of them, but I would prefer Capitalist America than Militaristic Japan anyday.

  • @TheUncleDougger thx for the advice yank, don't u worry your brains abt me. i get by just fine, and you know what? i don't need America. Only the slaves go there. The huddled masses. The poor. I don't claim land. Mortals have no right to own land in my opinion.

    Life is short and its futile to amass property. When your time comes you won't be able to take even a dime with you. Land will still be there when we are all gone. Wake up

  • @lunafringe10 Why don't you just go and claim your piece of this land we "all" own?

    Just make it somewhere south of New Zealand or north of Alaska. Punks like you are unfit for real life. Go sing "We Are The World"

  • When you think about it,to wage total war at the opposite sides of the world simultaneously is unique in world history,a remarkable achievement,Hats off to the USA
