What a funny article to be published on Dec. 7.

U.S. Ports and infrastructure, like the U.S. Battleships in 1941, are merely projections of U.S. power. They are not the foundations of that power.

The Japanese celebrated their ‘victory’ for about 4 months. Then Doolittle’s Raiders gave the Japanese a taste of American Resolve and sowed a few seeds of doubt.

Two months later, the Japanese Carriers were sent to the bottom of the Pacific just west of Midway. After that, Japanese defeat was only a matter of time.

Something to think about: from Dominator to Defender in less than six months.

Can America ever work up that kind of resolve again?
