“If I were a World War II veteran who was drafted by the United States military to go and fight for our country overseas in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, I might feel quite embittered, and I think it would be a perfectly natural and understandable human reaction to not be particularly satisfied with the words of the Japanese Prime Minister,” Earnest said.

He projects his embitteredness that anyone should have to serve in the imperial colonist oppression... even if drafted. Speaking of, he intentionally uses the word "drafted". Clearly, this wretch attempts to revise history by ignoring the countless VOLUTEERS the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor produced.

I met a man in a waiting room for cancer patients back in the ‘80s. He approached me because I was in uniform and we got to talking.

He was in the Navy at the time of Pearl Harbor, stationed in the Phillipines. He survived the fighting there, as well as the Bataan Death March, and was interned in a Japanese POW camp for 3 years.

In late 1944, the took him (and others) and moved them to camps on the mainland on "hell ships". Stale air, terrible heat and humidity, little food or water and unmarked, so that they were subject to immediate attack by US aircraft and submarines.

They put him in a new camp in Japan - just outside the city of Nagasaki.

And then, this man thanked ME for MY service! I still get choked up over this.

I have nothing but contempt for the America-hating clowns that infest this administration. They can't leave quickly enough!
