Battleship Row photograph taken from a Japanese bomber. You can see the oil from the ships beginning to bellow in the water.
The USS Shaw burns in the foreground
Captured from Ford Island, the USS Shaw billows fire and smoke in the distance
Another angle of USS Shaw's demise
The twisted remains of the USS Shaw
USS Tennessee and USS West Virginia burn in the foreground
USS California, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, slowly sinks
USS Pennsylvania behind the wreckage of the USS Downes and USS Cassin
Salvaging a Catalina Flying Boat on Ford Island
The USS West Virginia burns
Rescuers work to save sailors inside the capsized USS Oklahoma while the USS Maryland remains stoic
The twisted wreckage of the USS Arizona
Another view of USS California sinking into the mud

We should never apologize for nuking those bastards.

We didn't start the fight.
But we damn sure finished it.
And that's certainly something to be acknowledged, but not really something to be celebrated. Everything about that war was tragic. Our entire planet was full of evil and death for an entire generation.
I seriously doubt the America of today possesses the conviction or strength to fight a war.
It seems we have forgotten the meaning of the word sacrifice on every level of society.
Unfortunately I think we'll see that tested in my lifetime.

That’s the first thing I thought of.
It’s a Shame that liberals have twisted everyone’s views of Pearl Harbor.

These are incredible. Thanks for sharing!

Looking at that last photograph it’s always strange to see scenarios where people are just looking on as other people are literally struggling for their lives. Can be found in countless photos and videos throughout history but it always kind of weirds me out.

These pictures are always amazing to me. We're lucky to always have real images of an event as important as this.
On side note, Dan Carlins new Hardcore History chapters are on the Japanese in WWII and he does a great job of covering Pearl Harbor

Netflix currently has a pretty sweet colorized series covering the major facets of the war.

I've said it before and I will say it again...
We could have a zombie apocalypse and there would be some group of assholes protesting for "zombie rights".

I mean an actual war. A serious, earth shattering country shaking war.
America lost half a million soldiers in WWII in 3 years.
We had a generation of people who lost their parents. It fundemntally changed how we operate as a country.
We've been in the middle east for what? 20 years? And we've lost maybe 8000?
You cannot compare the Middle Eastern Conflict to an actual war because it doesn't effect 99% of this country ever at all.

It's as if some of you have forgotten that America has been at war for damn near two decades.
