The Greatest Generation Remembered Pearl Harbor by Destroying those Who Attacked It
In fact they didn’t just destroy them, they occupied them with a military force that remains to this day which not only forced cultural changes to prevent them from being a threat to the civilized world but led them to become on of the richest , most technologically advanced and civilized places in the entire world.
It’s a good thing too because if my father’s Generation treated Pearl Harbor the way we treat 9/11 Not only would Japan still hold a Pacific Empire including China, Korea the Philippines, Indochina and Singapore, their military ruling it under an iron fist that would make the likes of Mao & the Kims of North Korea blush but they would still be a threat to us today.
So you’ll pardon me but I’m not going to weep, or attend moments of silence or any of those other things to remind our enemies of their greatest single victory in the war on terror. I decline to give Islamists a propaganda victory they can use to recruit the next generation of people who want to kill our children and grandchildren.
When we have destroyed them, when we have occupied them with a military force and so subjugated to the point that they are no longer a threat to the civilized world, then it’s time to hold memorials. I’ll give the last word to a man named Sherman
We cannot change the hearts and minds of those people of the South, but we can make war so terrible … [and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it.”
If we truly want to end the threat of Islamic terror and want our children to be able to live without fear as we once did just a generation ago we should do the same to the Islamists of Isis and Al Qaeda and any nation that supports them.
We have the power, we simply do not have the will.
