Got it all on tape including his Bronze Star experience. Those guys had an incredible attitude. Dad said to me, son... I was just Lucky.

When I was growing up, this was my Saturday afternoon/evening line up. First, The Rat Patrol, then MASH, Happy Days, Wild Wild West, Sha Na Na, Victory At Sea, Ba Ba Blacksheep, Star Trek, Hee Haw and ending with Lawrence Welk. We had channel 6, 8 & 13 and if the weather was right, PBS on channel 4. Occasionally, my dad would send me up on the roof with Channel Locks to turn the antenna to fine tune the picture. My little brother would stand by the window and shout out "...stop! Back a little...THERE! That's good..." while my dad was in command. My little brother was also the remote control, both for volume and channel switching. Mom would get the TV dinners ready (my dad would confiscate the little brownie that came with it) and that, my friends, was life in the 70's. Not a bad childhood at all.

The USA was very fortunate that all the aircraft carriers and many other capital ships were out on maneuvers.

[@marbleman52]

@James Miller Yes, correct. Even if they had waited until some of our carriers were in port and either sunk them or heavily damaged them, the eventual outcome would have been the same. Our manufacturing capability would have still overwhelmed Japan. Yes, it probably would have taken longer, but inevitable. The same thing can be said of Hitler. He had originally planned the invasion of Russia for May, 1941, but his plans got delayed by 5 weeks which put it in late June. Those 5 weeks cost him the invasion; the Russian Winter and a few more major factors, worked against Hitler. What if Hitler had invaded Russia earlier in the Spring, say, April ? Would he have been able to defeat Stalin and escape the deadly Russian winter? We will never know, but Hitler would have still been defeated, it would just have taken different strategies and more time and more dead soldiers.

Great series. I wonder why they didn't mention the fact that the aircraft carriers weren't there. Now, if the Empire had hit them also......

[@howiesmith1504]

And if the Japanese had hit the big Navy fuel oil tank farms near Hickam Field" and the many dry docks in the area... but they didn't. A good explanation is provided on Quora by Georgette Wolf, who was a history major and is into WW2 history. The Japanese originally planned the attack in 3 waves: the first to take out carriers and battleships; the second to hit the cruisers and destroyers; and the third, after refueling and re-arming the first wave planes at their home carriers, to send them back to destroy the oil tanks and repair facilities. The discovery that the US carriers were not at Pearl trashed the third wave plan. Admiral Nagumo didn't know where or how close our carriers were. He had already lost 29 of his total of 150 planes during the two attacks and felt he could not take the chance of US carrier planes catching his stuck on their flight decks getting fuel and 4 bombs

[@steveweinstein3222]

[@rmurphy250]

The battle of Layte Gulf off the coast between the Allied Forces and the Imperial Japanese Navy was a deciding factor in bringing about the eventual end of the war in the Pacific since the Japanese Military realized that it was just a matter of time before they surrendered.

Japan paid the ultimate price though...

[@bcwest56]

Japan did not pay the ultimate price, The men and women who fought for their Emperor paid the ultimate price for the stupidity of war. Japan's leaders thought they were invincible and that they could conquer the world and instill their ideals on the rest of the world. Think about it. What happened then is happening now. Their is always some idiot who wants to push his ideology on everybody else and will do whatever he can to do it. Crashing jets into buildings, launching test nuclear rockets, bombings of civilians in large cities. Who does these type of things? Just some dumbasses who think they are right about everything, but in truth, they are just self absorbed idiots who went through potty training to early. They don't have a clue what it is to be a human being. They don't have a clue to what is right or wrong. They just have their there self absorbed agenda. Which is, unfortunately, to give everybody else, that don't agree with them, grief.

[@moniks2849]

I would say lemays fire bombings were much worse... a firestorm with winds past 300 mph. Specialized bombs with hundreds of bomlets. Each bomlet filled with jellied gasoline...napalm along with magnesium and phosphorous shavings. It killed an estimated 300,000 just the first night.it also left a million people homeless. We didnt ask for a sneak attack. The best way to shorton a war is to make it so horrible esp on the citizens that they sue for peace. Also if you want to win a war dont let the media anywhere near it. Those 2 ideas are from general shermans march through georgia.

It's said that history is written by the victors and I tend to believe that. Also, as someone who served in the military during the Vietnam War and who's father was a radioman onboard the U.S.S. Augusta at Normandy on D-day, I certainly don't want to possibly offend anyone who lost a loved one fighting in WWII. However, I still feel compelled to share a few things I've learned over the years, as to what transpired on Dec. 7, 1941. Fact: Prior to December 7th, Admiral Richardson flew to Washington and warned FDR about the danger of keeping the Pacific Fleet bottled up in Pearl Harbor. Rather than heed his advice, FDR had Richardson relieved of his post. The question is why? Fact: The radar operator that was interviewed a few years before his death and who first saw the Japanese aircraft approaching Oahu stated that there were hundreds of "blips" on his radar screen, certainly not just a few U.S. aircraft being ferried over to Hickam Field from the mainland. Why was this information, supposedly, overlooked? Fact: These are just two of many legitimate questions that were never fully investigated after the war. Many historians now strongly suggest that FDR and Churchill may have both played a key role in allowing this attack to occur, as a much needed "False Flag" event, in order to garner U.S. emotional support for entering the war.
