Due To Age Related Infirmities,None Of The 12 Pearl Harbor Survivors Will Attend Memorial:

This makes me profoundly sad.

We have found a point of agreement.

A great big salute to these old gentlemen and many thanks for their service.

I did not say — much less indicate— any such thing.

So does this represent your beliefs.

The secret war was waged against nations which the leadership of this country had chosen as enemies months before they became formal enemies by a declaration of war. It was waged also, by psychological means, propaganda, and deception, against the American people, who were thought by their leaders to be laggard in embracing war. The people were told that acts which were equivalent to war were intended to keep the nation out of war. Constitutional processes existed only to be circumvented, until finally the war-making power of Congress was reduced to the act of ratifying an accomplished fact.”

Were does it say the United States deserved to be attacked? It indeeds indicates the American people were the victims of a orchestrated propaganda campaign by their political leaders.

I would like to discuss this further but I’m going to bed. I’ll get back to this tomorrow. I look forward to your response. I enjoy actual discussions such as this.

Or we can continue the pissing match. I’ll follow your lead on that matter.

In other news the Jewish community says there are still like 100,000 Holocaust survivors walking around.

They belonged in those camps. They also have no one to blame, but themselves. The reason they were put into the internment camps is because a group of Japanese Americans hid a Japanese pilot that crashed off the coast of Hawaii instead of turning him into authorities. America was willing to do whatever it took to win the war. I wish America still had that attitude.

Lol ok.

I looked it up and last count was 220,000 Holocaust survivors still walking around average age 87 lmao

K.

Yea each of those veterans would punch you in your face if they were young enough. Pretending that the US deserved or caused the sneak attack.

You just propagated a message to the poster as if he was the one that wrote the article.

I'd argue they'd rather punch YOU in the face. There's 12 servicemen left, and none of them want to be a part of this. They were SACRIFICED! They know it, we all know it. That's why they are "unable" to attend.

Stop pretending to speak for our servicemen. You must love you some war.

Dude really every last one of these men that died, died me and you, and you may be right with your assertion, but it ain't what the post is about,yet you had to insert that shite, How bout every man that stormed Normandy beach was a sitting duck storming that beach and many lost their lives doing it,

If we had people like that today we would not be in the shape we're in

Ole man,

I used to live in western Virginia and probably drove through the little community of Bedford 100 times, long before private ryan focus on the war, long before the US govt decided to build a large monument to the Bedford boys.

Backstory, before the war started many young men joined the national guard, including every kid in Bedford joined one unit. When Eisenhower was planning Dday, he specifically requested that the first wave be green recruits, fearing that veterans would not advance from the beach when they saw what they were up against.

Enter the Bedford boys and of the 38 that landed, 20 died the first day, absolutely devastating that little community.

Yet long before all the hoopla, when I drove through that community American flags flew on every house, a small reminder, like one of the survivors, who refused to be interviewed about that faithful day but said "You just tell em freedom aint free".
