what do you do for Dec. 7th?

Question

Everybody is saying what are doing for 9/11 well this country has also had another huge blow and that was Dec 7th Pearl harbor...What do we do for that. I mean how many of you watch videos over and over again about that. How many people put blame on the president for that? Or do you blame Japan? I mean we need to learn from these and make life better. Not make it a nightmare we re-live each year. My great unlce was a surivor from the arizona..What can we learn from these thing's and what can we gain.

Both were great tragedy's do not get me wrong, but there has been many other's also. What do you think we can get from these

So because it was service members in pearl harbor...(Wich is not intirley true there were civilians also)...and we won quick and it was over 50 years ago it is okay. So let's forget about all the jews that were killed because that was a long time ago also...And I could keep going. The point is that we are suppost to learn from this and not make it a** out of ourself's. The other countries look at us and laugh because we sit here and point fingers on who is to blame. Instead of finishing what we set out to do.

I think it is sure stupidity to say just because something happened a long time ago that it doesnt matter anymore..Same sittuation they just took it out on the civilian population this time..Imagine what they will do next. Because all they do is learn from the way we react!

Answer 1

I remember Dec 7th. As a Navy Vet I have seen the Arizona and it still leaks oil. To say that 9/11 was worse is not at all true. And as far as it being okay because they were service men is BS. As a service member I am very hurt. I mean yes we won the war but look what it started. Nuclear problems. We should remember DEC 7th just like people remember 9/11. We are all Americans, service or not. So get off your high horse. I served in 9/11 and i was on the team that shot the first tomahawk into Afghan so i know what its like do you?

Answer 2

Pearl Harbor was 50 years go; 9/11 was 5. Thousands more people were affected by the events of 9/11. Perhaps millions if you consider how many people have been to New York, seen the World Trade Center for themselves before their collapse or even knew someone who worked there; perhaps someone who died there. Also, although comparable number of American's died in the Pearl Harbor attack, almost all were servicemen, not innocent civilians.

We also won the war that resulted in our involvement after the attack on Pearl Harbor. We dropped atomic bombs on Japan and they surrendered unconditionally. Our fight against terror and Osama Bin Laden has been slow and fruitless. 9/11 changed America forever... Pearl Harbor changed America for a couple years

Why stop there? Let's go back to February 17th.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
