We’re supposed to believe the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise. I don’t see how anyone who has read the evidence can still believe that. Forget radar, forget the intercepted dispatches, forget the political mood that was common knowledge an attack was coming, a man in a guard tower with a set of binoculars could have gone a long way.
Recent historical releases from the 1880’s or so detail the work they were doing with aerial reconnaissance on the coast with hot air balloons. Something like 80 miles with the height and good optics. Flash forward 60 years and the incredible technological advancements of that era, and we’re supposed to believe we were caught unawares?
During the campaign of 1940 while FDR was promising to keep us out of the war, he was secretly ordering bombers and tanks. He’s about the most vile bastard in American history. For the life of me I can’t figure out why Americans are so gullible.
