You need to read Shattered Sword...We would have won, it just would have taken longer. The idea that Pearl Harbor decimated our fleet is also somewhat false. We lost some old out of date battleships and some smaller ships. The meat of the modern naval force was alive and well in our aircraft carriers. 6 battlewagons, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 4 auxillary ships were damaged, 2 battleships were destroyed. The truth is our naval forces were not very large or modern at the start of WWII.
So, you were there then? Sounds like you know exactly where every Japanese plane flew. Pretty harsh review since it wasn't produced to your standards seems like. You should be pretty damn thankful that Hollywood spent any time at all on a WWII film and not on that garbage they've been putting out.
Machine gun bullets bounce off ships for the most part, not many bounce off of people. Let's face it, they were probably gleefully shooting people because that was an immediate reward and feedback. Just like they used to shoot our pilots in their parachutes.
Nah, I’m only 60 years old. Raise your hand if you really think Dick Best bounced his plane off of the fore deck of Hiryu?
They shot civilians everywhere they went. The Japanese were absolutely ruthless.
Have you ever read about the rape of Nanjing,aka Nanking? It's just one of the reasons the Chinese hate the Japanese. They killed by most accounts up to 300k civilians. I'll give them this, when they say all's fair in love and war the Japanese took that to heart.
