Jeez. Yamamoto was part of one of the most vicious imperialistic regimes in the world. He carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor. He wanted Japan to rule the world as much as any Japanese did. He was afraid of our industrial might. He wasn’t our friend. Killing him was a great idea.
Ditto
And Rommel served the Nazis, still doesn’t mean people don’t respect his talent.
Yamamoto was not the tyrant that Tojo was. He was in the US for a long period of time prior to the war and came to respect us greatly. I see him as closer to Germany’s Rommel.
Whereas Tojo was much more like Himmler if not Hitler himself. Tojo called the shots.
