Dec 7, 1941 A date that will live infamy
 

chokes me up every year... 99% of this board is older than every one of the boys we lost that day...


President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941?a date which will live in infamy?the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our secretary of state a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese government also launched as attack against Malaya.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.

Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Wake Island.

And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As commander in chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. . .

My grandfather ended up in that harbor. Had to swim to shore. He's still alive and I still talk to him each year on this day.

Fuckin Japanese... lying traitor fuckers!

How do you live with so many japanese there without shooting them on the spot D?

I mean knowing your loose and free gun handling ways... Im sure theres a couple buried out there already at your hands, am i right?

:winkwink:

But seriously...

Pretty fucked up day in history...

in retaliation for this military attack during a war, the US used nuclear weapons to kill over 250,000 innocent people (some say more)

so maybe feel a little shame that this is the day that led the US to show how cowardly it was and chose to commit mass murder on innocent people on a scale way bigger than 9/11 and show evil to the world that will last long after hitler and the japanese attacks are forgotten

calm down

there are no innocent people in war..

bottom line is they attacked us so we attacked back.. don;t start nothing won't be nothing

how dare you call USA cowardly ... I wish you were here today and said that in front of me you'd no longer have any teeth....

C'mon.. Really? You don't actually believe that do you?

can you think of a better solution - no bomb and the war drags for another year and way more than 250k die and half of them Americans on top of that

now the second bomb on the other hand .... that's a totally different story

Don't smack talk, Danza will fight you.

Dumb ass ......


.

He might, but we all know you wont show up for salsa!!!!

Oh booom!!!

that kind of got my blood boiling ....

bottom line is there are no innocent people in war...


weather your in the fight or on the sidelines your just a causality of war..

war is not pretty ladies and gents.. not at all... the fact is women, children, elderly, and healthy all get killed in war.. it's a byproduct...

kind of like getting popups is a by product of surfing free porn.... upsales are a byproduct of joining any of the (bigger sites) and death is a byproduct of war....

japan was so hard headed it took 2 bombs to get them to surrender..

shit I would have surrenderd after the first... so in reality.. Japan is to blame for all the deaths at the hands of the US military the strongest and best military in the world


SEMPER FI

I spell victory

Nothing but respect to the veterans who have and will serve the US and Allied Militaries.

lol no teeth but the USA would still be cowardly....what you think your soldiers are brave guys as they fly planes that are untouchable and drop bombs on innocent people that have no way of defending themselves? or when they're still so shit scared that they have to use unmanned drones to kill innocent people?

yes there are innocent people in war, and sure you attacked back and yeehaw for that you cowboy but that's like saying if iraq or afghanistan used nuclear weapons against you it would be ok? so you're saying the people that died in 9/11 weren't innocent people?

the USA is cowardly, you hide behind your money and a tough guy persona when at the root the people in the US have been lied to and shit on by their government for so long that they don't have any values for which to be brave

for freedom? as your rights get taken away more and more day by day in the US, everyone being monitored and no warrants needed, keeping people imprisoned without reason

for religion? as priests rape little kids and are caught up in more and more shit and at the same time people slowly are realizing that there really isn't such thing as religion

what is a soldier to think in his head going into battle, he's out there for what exactly? democracy? then he sees an election that was so corrupt that one guy dropped out and it was just given to the guy who was blatantly involved in the corruption.

soldiers being used as pawns to help some rich dudes sitting in a mansion somewhere don't have a cause worth sacrificing their lives for in as a result are cowards.

how else do you have guys with virtually no anti air weapons riding around on dingy motor bikes with the most ancient weapons beating guys with the most advanced weapons, body armor and all the air support they could ever ask for? what could possibly account for that other than a total lack of morale and courage from the side of the army that is so massively favored in everything else?

You're an idiot :2 cents:

I read what you just wrote twice... I can't make any sense of it.. your a fucking idiot...

your in canada... you have no idea what your talking aboot when's the last time you went to war bitch? when's the last time you said to your self... you know what I love living where I do I think ill go do my time so my kids and my kids kids can enjoy it like I do.. and enjoy making money online selling nudie pics? until then keep your little bitch mouth to yourself

so thats it? thats all you can come up with?? you have no argument against what i said? unlike thick headed idiots like you i dont think killing people is the best way to solve the world's problems and ill keep doing things my way and informing people against the dribble that people like you spew in an uninformed rant from an uneducated almost cave-man-like mind set

credit for using aboot though

let me cut down that text for you

USA big guns planes $1 million bombs --> losing
Taliban shitty guns dirt bikes $100 bombs --> winning

i wonder why?

America was attacked by Japan on Dec. 7, 1941? I see.

Our Grandfathers and Fathers were fighting in that war to help Europe years before your country entered.

If you're gonna talk shit at least do it about something you have some knowledge of.

blah blah, punch you in face, blah blah, nuke nuke.

Seriously, shut the fuck up you are a disgrace to the men who sacrificed themselves so you could sit there and talk shit today.
