My father served in U.S. Navy in 1943.He enlisted when he turned 18 yrs.old.He was on the U.S.S. New Mexico.He never felt comfortable talking about the war.
Had an uncle on the Maryland, same thing, did not talk about it after the war, I know people died. You have to respect that generation though for what they must have went through.
An important factor in the Japanese decision to attack Pearl Harbor was the Nomonhan incident of summer 1939. The Japanese tried to invade Mongolia but were defeated by Soviet and Mongolian troops. In June 1941 the Germans had invaded the USSR while the US and UK imposed an oil embargo on Japan. The Japanese now had to choose between joining the Nazi attack on the Soviets, as the Nazis were urging them to do, or trying to seize the oil-rich Dutch East Indies. Many in the Japanese military wanted to avenge Nomonhan, but officer Masanobu Tsuji, who had helped provoke the Nomonhan incident, was a strong proponent of an attack on the US Pacific Fleet. He wrote after the war that his experience with Soviet firepower at Nomonhan had convinced him not to attack the Soviets in 1941.
I think most of these responses (save for a few, especially the last one) are very normal responses following an attack. What were people saying the day after 9/11? Both political parties were ready to go to war. I don't know why people are assuming that every person interviewed is bad because of how they reacted when most people reacted VERY similarly after 9/11. Most of you who are adults should know this. Some even reacted like the last guy. Be honest. Some people STILL look at Muslims in this country like "the enemy".
Salute to the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and to the people that fought towards it. Thank you, kind men and women that saved us from the Nazis and Japanese.
Attacking Japan was the biggest and worst mistake that Japan would ever make. For they awoke a sleeping giant and filled it with a great and terrible resolve. That rage was once again reawakendd when 9/11 happened though then the enemy wasn't as clear as in WWII.
I'm sure the Japanese-Americans in the concentration camps for years felt so, too. Probably the black guys getting lynched or dragged behind cars agreed as well. And let's not forget the Jewish refugees who'd get denied entry at the ports. But hey, they went to war that one time, so who gives a shit if they collectively treated women and minorities like sub-humans, right?
“Well, now we can learn to shoot, now we can use it, that’s all. We were all anxious to get going” I feel like what makes the the US military different from any other military in the world is that the American soldiers dares any military to attack. We love action!
This all took place many years before my birth... but from the research I have gathered -- Didn't we warn them? Ie . "Stop!... Knock it off!... We have a weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen before..." It is sad that civilians had to perish in these nuclear strikes but weren't the Nazis making bombing runs across the cities of Europe? (Our enemies were not being very compassionate either!) Keep in mind... We could have very easily struck mainland Japan but we did not! We chose two of the least civilian populated, military targets available. --And we did even drop flyers over the islands warning the people to evacuate. We warned them!... They did not listen. So, 'fire fell from the sky'... and brought a very vicious war to a succinct end. :-(
@@ampatriotsmith9545 you need to educate yourself more bruh, Atomic Bombing in Hiroshima happened at 6 August 1945 and Nagasaki happened at 9 August 1945 Japanese surrendered on 15 August after Soviet declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria.
Pearl Harbor should hopefully remind people that any country can cause wars It is unbelievable that Roosevelt wouild let that happen to his country The Bankers are so evil and Japan was blame despite having no choice

This terrible of a war from the past by 75th anniversary years ago is because the film photographs color (Black & White) 第二次世界大戦 what why how can this happens.
Hirohito only caused America to nuke his anime obsessed country by ordering his planes to bomb Pearl Harbor and I can’t believe America spared the emperor at the end of the war.
The Emperor was seen as a god by the people of Japan. If you remove their god they'll get violently Mad, and now you have to put down more resistance, kill more people, and further damage an already decimated nation. All because you believed one Man who barley had political influence over the affairs of Japan largely being a spiritual figure, deserved to removed from their office not understanding the Consequences.
Okay we are starting to regret teaming up with china against japan due to China is commie scum, trade war and China created a virus that spread worldwide.
Japan: Attacks Pearl Harbor...

Did you mean "attacking America"?
Yes Japan attacking Japan that's exactly what Pearl Harbor was about...... smh
But it was also sad thing for both sides with all the civilian casualties. Widows on all sides.
This was the greatest generation to walk on earth. Thank you

This sounds similar to things you here people saying today about foreign affairs in discussions and bickering, at least on the conservative side
is alex jones talking in 0:20 ?
This is where Democrats children in colleges read excerpts from Japan's war generals and fully agree with the attack.
Be glad you never had to experience it... because it's ww2 . Meaning the whole world was at war
Damn! People back then were really racist.

You want a person to put the majority of the blame on then look at Hideki Tojo the Prime Minister of Japan/Minister of War.
