[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1077785, member: 694"] Even if Japan had declared war we were no where close to being prepared for an enemy like the Japanese. Most of our navy was WWI relics of battleships made before 1900 or shortly after we were in no way prepared to fight an island campaign. The Americans had been told they were little weak with bad eye sight. In the news reels before the war they portrayed the Jap as an inferior human being. I remember the cowardice statements well a lot of this came from the metal drives. Americans were collecting scrap metal that was being sold to Japan to build weapons to kill Americans. We could not even envision an enemy of such brutality that practiced cannibalism as the Japanese troop was to live off the land and never surrender. Japanese officers beheaded 10 of thousands of prisoners as a contest published in Japanese papers. The Jap soldier murdered over 30 million in WWII the Jap made Hitler look like a choir boy. There was an Asian Holocaust as well as one in Europe it is just not talked about. [/QUOTE]
