"I think it was the Japanese."
You are right! But hopefully 75 years has taught us that the Japanese military were only taking orders from above!
I am a Vietnam Veteran and also took orders from above as those from the other side did!
A friend & I are going to Oahu December 1-8 to attend some of the Pearl Harbor events!
We are going to remember those who gave their lives on that date & those who continued their service after the attack on Oahu & Pearl Harbor. And for those who entered WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor including my father!

OK, OK..so we "took orders from above" and a hell of a lot of people BELIEVED in ALL of those "orders" so please give that a rest since it has no place in remembering those who were far less fortunate than those of us who served and survived all of those "orders."
