Under US military code you have to finish it no matter the circumstance

​@@karstenshields1694 I mean military regulation is also that you have to keep saluting until the last note but during an attack people will obviously take up fighting positions instead of just standing there saluting

@@greenbrickbox3392 The navy says that you should not salute during simulated or actual battle conditions

It's hard for peole from civilised countries to imagine that level of spastic level fanaticism. What a bunch of maroons!!!!!!!!

The conductor was waving so fast that you knew he knew they had a job to do

Then Japan lost Hiroshima and Nagasaki from atomic bombs

@@positionalprelude2579 Then japan became Cursed after that

Imo the star spangled banner only works when it’s done instrumentally, most folks can’t sing it right (me included, hard to hit the notes lol)!or they make it into a pop song which ruins it. But I love my anthem, it just works well and fits.

@@BarberJ95 Well said.

I too like the sudden speed and explosions at the end of the song

@@jtgd haha yeah, but in all honesty the temp they played before getting attacked is actually faster then what most people play it at or at least whats available on KZfaq. So he i still right and it is very nice. I wish more people played this tempo more.

@@talkingaegismissle7388I agree. It’s good at a faster speed

I hate those.

Not let the national flag get burned by enemy hands

I am retired Navy and I would have too.

Legend has it that during the Battle of Falkland, some guy salvaged the flag of the German Cruiser SMS Leipzig when the ship capsized, then climbed the hull and waved it frantically while the ship went down beneath him with all hands lost.

Duh. Was he supposed to fold it neatly before doing so? There was likely no concious effort in him not dropping it but instead still holding it.

Save Old Glory!

Forgive for saying this but they were toeing the fine line between bravery and stupidity.

​@@delta5-126 You won't understand patriotism unless your country was occupied

@@fz7091 And I would prefer not to find out first hand.

It was code back then.

In a book that I purchased in 1973 while visiting the Arizona Memorial, the band director stated that he was taught that when you start playing the Star Spangled Banner you don’t stop. He also said that was quickest tempo he had ever played the National Anthem at !

"Tora, Tora, Tora"

When you see the tracers red glare and bombs bursting in air......

Well, the radar operator did report about it but was told "Don't worry about it".

The radar operator was told it was a flight of B-17's coming in from California.

@@bursegsardaukar - The people he reported to should have been worried about it, so there is no excuse for the military getting caught with its pants down.

@@josephstevens9888 - I'm not blaming the radar operator, he did his job. I'm blaming the people he reported to. After all, the B-17s were coming from the east, not from the north as were the Japanese.

"Confirmation, Kaminsky. I want confirmation."

Tora Tora Tora. You must be very young.

@@seansky2721 that was a very good movie

It’s pretty darn good and interesting, Americans directed the American parts and Japanese folks directed the Japanese scenes which makes a compelling juxtaposition. If you don’t mind it being a 1970s film, plus side is there’s a lot of practical effects which hold up.

@@BarberJ95 one of the best films ever made in my opinion.

@Princess Marlena Is a very good movie!

You are correct! There was a Battle of The Bands competition(competition between the bands of the battleships) on Sat night, Dec 6th. The Arizona's band won second place and so was allowed to sleep in on Sunday when they normally would have to awaken at six or seven a m. They all died and most of them were in the age range of 17-20. May they rest in peace knowing that their fellow Americans remember their sacrifice and the crimes committed by the Japanese Government, most of the perpetrators of which(including Emperor Hirohito) were allowed to go free with the connivence of our government!

*1970

Tora! Tora! Tora ! 1970 movie.

It’s “Officer of the Deck” he’s the senior officer on watch for that shift. Other countries call it the officer of the watch. When at sea usually a lieutenant does it, but in port I think an ensign or lieutenant junior grade does it, on cruisers, battleships, carriers, and other large vessels.

History buffs did a video on it. The movie is very accurate, though not entirely.

Damn Militarists..For the Emperor, down with the Traitors of Minister Tojo.

Typical Civilian not knowing UCMJ and Military Codes.

@@actualpatriot2977 That's no military code I've ever had to use. Working as scaleyback you woulda thought I'd heard of it. And since I'm not an yank pog I wouldn't know about your rubbish

These planes were hard to differentiate between American planes. It was so hard the US military released a film for the US Signal Corps to help signalmen and regular sea/infantry men differentiate the American and Japanese planes. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL5zqtp8pp3YYo0.html

Tbf they weren't at war yet so there was no reason or way he should have known

How is it typical?

What makes you say that? xD

There’s nothing indicating Roosevelt knew there was an attack coming that day. Not even the sailors knew That’s how surprise attacks happen

@@jtgd Roosevelt himself was recorded to have said that the imminent issue was how to maneavour Japan to shoot the first strike to the US in Npvember 1941. And the Japanese spy in Hawai, freaquently reported about the US navy ships in the Pearl Harvour, which was already monitored by the US inteligence. And it is almost true that there was a US spy in the Japanese navy since the plan of Pearl Harvour attack was already known to the US one year ago. All these facts increases the probability that Roosevelt knew the Pearl Harvour attack.

​@@nekonohige2that is blatantly false. They expected a potential attack on the Phillipines, not Hawaii.

@@jtgd Roosevelt was saying in late November 1941 at the war cabinet meeting to the effect that ""how to maneuver Japan to shoot the first bullets to the |US is the issue we face" . IN January 1941, almost one year before the Pearl Harbor, attack, the Ambassador in Tokyo sent a secret telegram to Hull, Secretary of the State that japan is now making military plan to attack Hawaii. Japanese military attaché in the Japanese Council in Honolulu frequently reported the states of the stationed war ships which had been monitored by the US side. The US already decoded many of the Japanese secret codes. All these facts indicate that Roosevel was not expecting but he was considering that Hawaii may be one if the attacking points by Japan.

@@rick7424Your statement is not true! In War Plan Orange 1931, they expected an attack on the Phillipines but later this was revised to include a possible attack on Pearl Harbor(ref: General William Mitchell's report 1922 and Colonel George Patton's report 1937). In the book The Yamato Dynasty(1988) it was finally revealed that Emperor Hirohito's younger brother and his wife(Imperial Japanese Navy Captain Prince Tokomatsu and Princess Tokomatsu) had warned the US government of all aspects of Japan's war plans including her attack across the Pacific beginning with an attack on Pearl Harbor. This warning was passed from Princess Tokomatsu to her dear friend Alice Perry Grew and her husband US Ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew eleven months before the attack. Grew personally carried the information to Washington DC on his person and told President Roosevelt. The Tokomatsus then told the Grews that the attack force had sailed and was enroute to Hawaii two weeks before the attack, even including the code phrase "Climb Mount Niitaka Twelve O Eight(Attack as planned on December 8th)" which would be issued to the attack force and all invasion forces as a sign that peace negotiations had failed and the attack should commence. A "Winds Execute" massage(East Wind, Rain) was also issued via the Japanese Diplomatic Code in order to notify all Japanese diplomatic embassies and consulates(such as the one in Honolulu, Hawaii) that there would be war(wind, rain) with the country to the East namely the United States. The Japanese never suspected the Tokomatsus because Prince and Princess Tokomatsu were close friends of the Grews(Princess Tokomatsu was a friend of Alice Perry Grew since they were children) and as such visits were frequent. They were also members of the Imperial family and so they were not watched by Japanese Military Intelligence(Kempeitai). Lastly, the US Government protected them by keeping their assistance to us secret until long after their deaths. Our obtaining information from breaking the Japanese codes only confirmed what we already knew. The Commanders in the Philippines(Lieutenant General MacArthur and Rear Admiral Hart) were warned of an impending attack scheduled for 7-8 Dec(6-7 Dec Hawaii time) on Dec 4th by British Admiral Sir Thomas Phillips by direction of President Roosevelt but such a warning was never given to the commanders at Pearl Harbor by direction of President Roosevelt! Admiral Phillips died when the Japanese sunk the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse off of Malaysia. Despite advanced warning, MacArthur was completely unprepared for the Japanese attack of Dec 8th and he purposely didn't bomb the Japanese Naval Land Airbases on Formosa(now Taiwan) and Indochina(now Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) as ordered to do so the moment that war commenced on Dec 8th(orders given on Dec 4th). An embarassed President Roosevelt covered MacArthur's insubordination and failure by awarding MacArthur the Congressional Medal of Honor for his "Heroic Defense of Bataan and Corrigidor." This is the truth of the matter!
