It beats me why people and Hollywood seem to think Pearl Harbour has to be so glorified....If I were American, I'd be embarrassed to keep having it bought up...- Apart from showing the Japs how to successfully attack Pearl, back on 7th Feburuary 1932, whilst conducting naval exercises, [the high point of which illustrated the unique power of Aircraft-Carriers against Capital Battleships], the whole thing was orchestrated to bring the US into WWII...It cost the lives of a Dutch submarine crew that saw the Japanese Attack Force approaching Pearl, and were killed by British SOE to keep it quiet...- There was alot of political manoevreing going on during 1940-41 because of Japanese Expansionism in China and the Far East, and the American sanctions that were put on Japan, fairly piss'd the Japs off to the point that they attacked, figuring to disable the US Fleet in one stroke. - Well, the rest is history, but to glorify a defeat, in not one, but two movies!...- It was a disaster, 3000 killed, like a 9/11...a dirty sneak punch... It saddens me that America showed them how to do it 9 years before....and in the wake of 9/11, they are telling the world we're gonna do this, and do that...why not send them a written copy! - As much as I like America, it really does have a crisis with it's Intelligence Community, and it's News Media borders on treason with it's gushing on about every little thing..- no wonder it's National Security is in jeopardy....
