He swore that he, as well as every other guy on the ship, saw a huge fleet of Japanese planes fly right over the top of them, heading towards Hawaii. They freaked out when they saw them, and they immediately sent word to everybody they could think of, and got basically, "Uh, ok, thanks for letting us know" as a response.

When I visited Pearl Harbor, I was struck by the lack of blame anywhere in the presentation. Both sides thought they were right at the time. I was also struck by the fact that at least half or more of the visitors were from Japan, and that it was amazing we were all there together without being angry at each other even though the two countries tore each other apart sixty years ago. I was also struck by the beauty of the location, which made the hell of December 7, 1941, even more hard to fathom. I agree, Pearl.

No matter who's fault was it but a fact is more than 2400+ were killed on December 7, 1941 and this is a sad fact itself. Pearl Harbor is really a place no one whould miss while visit Hawaii.

I have been bad about referring to "knowledge backed up by little-known but proven facts" and "Commonly-held-as-true but actually false American myths" as "accepted knowledge." I'll try to make a better clarification in the future, because there IS a big difference. Thanks for pointing that out. By the way, it's the Commonly-held-as-true but actually false American myths I tend to bitch about. Thinker: You make a good point.
