Despite having known of Plan Orange through some Youtube videos and even some websites, I did not know that the events of Pearl Harbor could have been avoided since the big wigs had actually toyed with the idea. It sure made it even more ironic in a way.
By the way, I'm sure the Japanese got the idea for the Attack in Pearl Harbor from the Battle of Taranto since Yamamoto himself was in Europe at the time as guest of Germany if memory served me right.
But hey, Zuikaku was correct as the carriers were the among real targets in the attack so having the US carriers absent in Pearl Harbor during the attack did not favor the Japanese and thus led to the Battle of Midway that started Japan's downfall in the Pacific.

Yes, its difficult to remember a great loss of life that was the World Wars, and one thing we also need to recall is the people who grew up during that time frame too. Some of them come away with a deep hatred for Asians, and some of that can be explained by Vietnam; but what is forgotten is that they were basically raised to childhood on a diet of war propaganda. Radio was the main tool of information in the 40s, and a great many families gathered to listen to the radio nightly. We cannot ignore the fact that infants and toddlers were exposed to this audio as well.
Rest in Peace, all of those who fought in the 20th Century.

Clarence V Bertucci was the waste of DNA responsible. If you find his grave, piss on it.

I was deeply saddened when I heard he'd passed. I had the high honor of meeting him last year at the 2018 Trail of Honor in Jackson, MS.

A fitting salute to a hell of a good man. One who made mistakes and one who had viewpoints I could not agree to, but a good man none the less.
Let Taps be played. Rest easy, Captain. Your work is all done here.

Maybe a chapter about USS Texas or USS Olympia? Both girls are in bad shape lately.
