First of all the Japanese got their a.s's kicked for the first time in 2000 years so no wonder they are so mellow about it now and Yamoto's words after the Pearl Harbor attack was "all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve"meaning the United States.Japan knew well in advance that the USA had more than 10 times the industrial strength if a war was to be fought and their chances were slim.2 of my mothers uncles were killed fighting the Japanese one was shot down and the other in a kamakasi attack on his ship and both brothers were in the US Navy.That's all I have say for now. mancoman
