My father, Edwin Koops, Corporal USMC was a gun crew member on USS Portland in this battle, his account of their gunnery actions and hits against the Japanese battleship while steaming in circles from a torpedo hit was gripping…He said the air and water was filled with shells and torpedoes….

The Japanese definitely had ‘Victory Disease’ The immense folly of sending a few hundred soldiers and mostly construction troops to a frontline position instead of advancing in force , was extreme. Then their first counter attack straight at the Americans when you’re outnumbered 10:1 was equally idiotic. Finally though more defendable ; the Japanese cruisers decided Not to destroy the American transports after destroying the defending forces was again inexcusable.

You make it sound simple. Japan did not want to attack the Americans but Americans left them no choice. US embargoed oil to Japan after numerous attempts at diplomacy over the China Japan war. Japan is not a nation rich in oil and is a major importer of war. Often forgotten, Japan attacked the Philippines which does have oil. The Philippines and Guam were attacked simultaneously with Pearl Harbor. FDR only mentioned the Pearl Harbor in his speech and now documented speech redacted talking about the Phillipines because Americans don’t care about their unincorporated islands to get support. Pearl Harbor was attacked to delay the support for the Phillipines and start fortifying the islands for trade.

I never understood why the Japanese attacked the US. There was a reasonable chance that the isolationists in the US would have kept the US out of the war if they were not directly attacked. They didn’t NEED the Philippines, The Philippines had no materiel that Japan needed.

I doubt there are any images or videos about WW2 I have not seen. I grew up with a WW2 vet, and we watched the Prudential Insurance 20th Century every Sunday evening for years. My dad was a history buff and lived through the war. He had first hand knowledge and added interesting side comments while we watched. I am fine not being distracted with images and video that many times are not even accurately portraying the narrative.
