I had to run to Albuquerque today for a doctors appointment, 3 hours over, 3 hours back, and I heard very little about Pearl Harbor on the radio. As the veterans of the war to end all wars grow fewer and fewer I an afraid there will soon be nobody who cares to carry their tradition on, never letting people know what the war was about and why we fought it. I know I will never forget the old vets and the stories they told me but I'm no spring chicken any longer either so how long will our past be remembered? it has to be passed down from us, the pubic screwel system doesn't teach history anymore so the kids will never learn it any other way.
What a comparison. A sneak attach in the 20th century, resolute leaders respond and the Allied coalition fights back with real war and determination to end the conflict less than four years later - in our favor. In the 21st century, another sneak attach is met with PC attitudes and totally delusional leaders. After 14 years we fight on still, even though we had the mite to end it years ago. The dolts in charge today learned nothing from their predecessors.
Given that the Obama administration have purged the US military, could it be possible that the yes-men in the Pentagon receives orders to unleash an EMP pulse over North America or a limited nuclear attack on US military bases?
Of course, it would all be blamed on Putin (Iran would be too Islamophobic), the resulting panic would be the justification needed for Obama (and Cameron) to declare a state of emergency.
No more Republic & Constitution, no more internets that isn´t controled by HS, anyone questioning authority and the offical version of events would be automatically labelled as a traitor.
Or perhapse they are simply too cowardly and incompetent to pull such a move?
I've been thinking about this a lot, lately. American pilots, flying against isis, are forbidden to release ordnance, if there is a danger of hitting "civilians", as if the State Department, or the DoD, has a clue what defines a "civilian" in that part of the world.
During WWII, Western air forces destroyed the German ability to use rail transport, the only quick way the Germans had to move large forces around. I assume that, even in German-occupied Europe, most train-drivers and stokers were civilians, but I'm afraid that the destruction of the rolling-stock was paramount. Lots of Allied air personnel lost their lives in attempts to bomb railways and marshalling yards, but those targets could usually be repaired within hours; the engines were far harder to replace.
To have an impact, the current air campaign has to take the gloves off. Precision bombing is fine, but not if most raids fail to have any impact, for fear of hitting "civilians". Anything that promotes isis, or assists its survival, must be destroyed, ruthlessly.
Amen.
To those few left from the Greatest Generation. Thank you for stepping forward when our country needed you most. I wish that there were more of like you today instead of the whiney asses, me too crowd.
If the Pearl Harbor attacked happened today we would be asking why they hate us so much.
Loretta Lynch would be announcing the establishment of internment camps to incarcerate Hirohitophobes. Obama would soon be pointing to the fact that the respected leader of Germany, Herr Hitler, had also declared war on the United States, proving beyond doubt that Americans were provoking these things. Obama supporters would clamour for the banning of the widespread sale in American gun-stores of aerial torpedoes and aircraft-carriers.
Alternative version: the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and drop thousands of bombs and torpedoes into empty water, because Obama has already mothballed the entire US Navy, anyway.
If Pearl Harbor happened today, Quagmire would have surrendered on the spot.
Ordinary Americans doing incredable feats of valor. We may know less than 25% of what really happened and all the bravery displayed by such a large number in so many places.
I am surprised Obama didn't apologize to the Japanese this morning...That was my first thought as I put out my flag this morning.
We are going to see the last of the Greatest Generation leave us during our lifetime.
I remember being a kid and hearing the last civil war vet had passed away, and the same thing for world war one vets. It is sad because so many experiences, so much history goes with them. I wish I could say thank you to each and every one of the people who served during this time. Without them, things could be so different.
