#9 My father said Ft Bliss was prepared for the Imperial Army to land in Central America and invade our Southern Border. He manned a 50 caliber machine gun nest on the Rio Grande before Pearl Harbor. Bought is way out of the military When Pearl happened he reinlisted. |

#8 Never could buy it, too many moving parts especially in the Japanese Political Theater. I buried that theory when literally every libertarian wanna-be spouted it off like canon and as often as vegans declare their absolutes. |

#7 "Gentlemen don't read each others' mail" blah-blah-blah. Now they read it, mis-state it (or totally fogging make it up) and all the war is done in the press. |

#6 As evidence of Roosevelt’s duplicity, they cite the fact that the administration failed to notify the military of decoded Japanese messages indicating that an attack would take place on December 6–7. ..but they didn't know exactly where. Let's remember also that FDR along with Churchill executed Operation Torch without warning or declaration of war while the US had open diplomatic relations with Vichy France. |

#5 /\ "Co-conspiracy theory?" "Duplicitous" politicians? Not so difficult to understand, in light of current events in the Pacific: He (FDR) allegedly created this consensus by provoking the Japanese into the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the revisionists describe it, Roosevelt purposefully increased tensions between Washington and Tokyo by introducing embargoes in 1940–41 on scrap metals and petroleum products that Japan needed for its war machine. By the fall of 1941, according to the revisionists, American policy makers had concluded that Japan would attack the U.S. fleet in Hawaii in the belief that the United States would then seek a settlement in the Pacific, thereby freeing Japan to create an East Asian “co-prosperity sphere.” Although Roosevelt and his closest advisers in the State, War, and Navy departments knew that an attack was imminent, the revisionists argue, they did not alert the military, believing that a surprise attack would create an overwhelming consensus for involvement in both the European and Pacific wars. As evidence of Roosevelt’s duplicity, they cite the fact that the administration failed to notify the military of decoded Japanese messages indicating that an attack would take place on December 6–7.

#4 Thank you posting this... I was beginning to think no one remembered. If I may add. After 80 years there still are a lot questions regarding prior knowledge by FDR (mega-D) of the Japanese Navy attack and whether he used it for political and economic reasons. |

#3 A Pearl Harbor fact that's always fascinated me is that the battleships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor were raised and repaired, expcept for the Arizona and the Oklahoma. At the battle of the Surigao Straights in October 1944 they "crossed the Japanese T" and rained heavy caliber naval artillery down on the Japanese fleet. Or, in the immortal words of Randy Quaid, "I'm back, boys!". |
