How does this reconcile with Tom Hanks and his recent statements that we fought World War II against “different” people who worshipped “different Gods”, and compared that to the conflict formerly known as the war on terror?
Hanks is a moron.
I’m sure he blames WWII on global warming.
But then again, maybe it was Bush’s fault.
The turning point in the Pacific War was not Midway or Guadalcanal it was Pearl Harbor.
It was a war that could not have been won simply based on the relative ability of each side to produce aircraft carriers, planes and transports. [I think the production ratio was something like 10 to 1.]
The fatal flaw in all the Japanese plans was the idea that after being attacked the US would eventually agree to some form of peace treaty short of unconditional surrender.
