Rules of being a leader
1. Don't piss off America
2.dont invade Russia (it goes bad
3. Have lots of oil
4. Make trustful friends

Japan broke all of those during ww2

So there is a Pearl Harbor survivor in my town and he told me he was supposed to be on the Oklahoma for breakfast but wasn't on the ship and survived

1941:US:That tickled
1944:You should stop
1945: Drops 2 bombs I said stop

[theepicmaxgod]

1941, Japan:
Let's attack the US, foolproof plan
1945, Japan
Maybe this wasn't a good idea

[americantanker]

R.I.P for all of those people who fought risking their lives to defend Pearl Harbor

[theshekelincarnate]

You forgot to mention that the Japanese forgot to hit the most important target of all, the life blood of the Pacific fleet. The fuel reserves.

The U.S be like "you've done goofed"

[wrench]

I'm give out a few more mini facts:
1. Specifically 3 aircraft carriers were unharmed
2. The Japanese lost 29 planes in the attack
3. A fleet of about 7 aircraft carriers lead the attack
4. Apparently a navy field was an ignored bombing site

If I got anything wrong please let me know the true answer I like world war 2 ( in history )

My great grandfather was stationed in Pearl Harbor during the attack, when he was still alive he said that as soon as he saw those planes he "literally ran for his life" and got out without serious injury...
