"Today, Yamamoto might take a shot at it, with the democrats being 1/2 of the population. They would probably take California coast pretty easily. And anyone who said anything bad about the Japanese would have their brains washed out with soap. Japan would probably be able to take it without a single shot."
Yes. Today, the Japanese would find America an easy target. It was American resolve and the American spirit that defeated the Japanese Empire. Today these and all American values are under attack by the enemy within. The entire Democrat Party has embraced the worst excesses of America's domestic and foreign enemies and the decadence of Western Civilization; it considers the USA to be an evil, racist, nazi nation that must be destroyed, and its objective is exactly that.
Hitler would also find America an easy mark today. Britain too. Churchill would be demonized as Trump is today.
The American reaction to the attack on New York on September 11, 2001, was quite different from the American reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yamamoto wouldn’t even try: “an American behind every blade of grass with a rifle.”
I have been trying to find a direct source of this quote. The best I have been able to find is “attributed to Yamamoto” according to a historian on MacArthur’s staff. I find that to be a indirect therefore a weak source. Anybody have a better source for the quote?
