No problem Herr Field Marshall :wink:
It’s just that when you talk about using thousands of Americans as martyrs simply to get your country into war, that’s just ludicrous. And imagine the propaganda if the Americans were able to beat off the Japanese attack! Wouldn’t that have whipped America more in a wartime frenzy than if the people were disillusioned that we would be caught very close to losing the war even from the onset?
Now that’s not to say mistakes weren’t made at Pearl Harbor. There should’ve been a stricter early warning system conducted by search planes, submarines, and surface ships. Also, advisers should’ve paid better attention to radar conclaves. Carelessness caused a lot of Pearl Harbor, not purposefulness.
