He was quite right. He also begged not to start the war, and when ordered to plain the attack said (something like it): "I will fight to the best of my abilities, but I can't be hold accountable for anything after the first six months." And he was quite right again.

It’s funny too because they got the first taste of that sleeping giant when they attacked wake island and got beaten back not once but twice

For the Embodied Voice! For the Algorithm! For the Fuzzy Marine Vet!

My great grandfather on my Father's side called war "an unfortunate career." On my mother's side, the same called it "a god damned sonofabiitch that daft motherfuckers start"

Amen.

I'd rather go to hell than to war again

I was lucky enough to never have been in war but my father was. Before i was in high school i was told i was the man of the house. My dad was not yet dead but i still had to act as if he was for he was gone for those years. What the soldiers suffered is impossible to imagine for a civilian but the army brats know when their hollowed out family returns the war doesn’t end when the deployment does nor does it only affect those who signed up for it.

Admiral Yamamoto was against starting war with United States. Claimed if Japan doesn't win in 6 months, Americans will turn tables on them. Japanese victories lasted exactly 6 months. On 7th month, Japan suffered crushing defeat at Midway, losing 4 fleet carriers and some of their most experienced crews.

admiral isoroku yamamoto after the attack on pearl harbor

@@breachcreaper It was not a Japanese Admiral.

@@bigearl3867 Yes, it was. He wrote that in his diary.

Yes, I've been reading a lot about the Pacific war lately, and have been repeatedly reminded of what Yamamoto said.

If you have been through a truly violent fight, and at the end were the one still standing, you rode that wild anger, and could think back and realize just how close you were to committing things that could not be taken back, fixed, healed, or repaired, then you may know you never want to return to that state of mind. But, you know it is there, waiting.

I have, over my life, put 7 people into the hospital with my bare fists and raw anger. The beast is NEVER caged...it is simply laying there, waiting for a reason to let loose once again. Good man only let it loose when there is a GOOD reason, it doesn't make it any less monstrous. You WILL remember the damage you cause. Those that see you do it will never look at you the same way again. People who knew you as the quiet kind guy will see that monster behind your eyes and never look at you as just the kind guy ever again. Even if you protected them, they will have a hint of fear when they look at you. Oh sure, they love the large guy that steps up and intimidates. The normal guy that stands up, intimidation doesn't work and they attack him? That guy who just opens up and begins breaking bones and causing injuries that require therapy to heal from? That guy will be feared by those he protects because the monster was shown in the light of day. Being the guy to protect others is good, but it is never like the movies or shows... those you protect WILL fear you after they see you emotionlessly take people out.

Gotta get creative. It's not a war crime the first time.

That is why the US picks fight with the likes of Iran and Iraq. And Isreal picks a fight with Palestine/Gaza.

There is a difference

We’re so lonely we’d rather be friends than let our….other side out

are you implying that our dear admiral squirrel is not a living person? is he a cyborg or something?

@@darthragnarok1066 that's a little ridiculous don't you think? I can see him read the story. I have heard people read it. People, not machines. Our good admiral, is the BEST reader. 🙄

@@darthragnarok1066nah he’s an immortal 😂

I have done similar ones

@@AgroSquerril oh it looks like this is re-written because its almost identical to 1725 The sleeping giant

If you truely believe that, more fool you.
