Pearl Harbor, 1941

Sign in to disble this ad
Didn't see a thread about this yet, but let me know if I missed it. Anyway...

69 years ago, on this date, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. As a result, we suffered huge losses of both life and Naval resources.
But soon after, America embarked on an ass-kicking mission of epic proportions and, combined with the efforts of all the Allied forces, changed the course of world history.
This thread is dedicated to all the people who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1941.

This video expresses my feelings better than I can (excessive use of naughty language, ie the F-word).

Celebrating the anniversary is a good thing.
But, uh, your history is a little simplified.







...really, really simplified.

Yeah, I know. I didn't want to go into a huge history lecture, just wanted to convey the basic message.
