Pretty sad day. I think it's pretty sad no one really remembers. Back then, that was their 9/11. Think of how we all felt then.

I guess because I'm such a WWII buff that it's important to me. I was watching a documentary where some Japanese vets met up with American vets and forgave each other. One guy met the same pilot who dropped a torpedo that destroyed his ship and nearly killed him. They shook hands and the Japanese guy said "I'm sorry." and was crying but the American said "No, don't be. It was a war between two nations and we were just soldiers. We were just doing our job." and he game him a hug. I thought that was pretty neat.

But, yeah, it should never be forgotten. I honor all who fought and who died.

Well, I'm sure the people whom lived during the time remembered it.
And yeah, I think 9/11 was a pretty good event to compare Pearl Harbor with.

It was also reminds us of some of America's mistakes; I'm talking about how strategic war geniuses were already talking about how Japan could make a huge blow on America at that particular timeset, but were obviously not listened to.

Before 9/11 occurred, there were already hints out there that there could be a terrorist threat, such as when the Philippines captured one of the minds behind the whole concept of the 9/11 attack and noted America, but was disregarded.


Well, the movie was pretty good.
