The Japaneese bombed 3,000 people at Pearl Harbor, we killed 210,000 in the atom bombings. I think we're even now.

I'm surprised that anyone under 21 even knows about Pearl Harbor. Thank you for studying history. I lost an uncle who went down on the U.S. Oklahoma.

I do, I am also 15 and I think it is very disrepectful for people to forget about our veterans and historical events such as Pearl Harbor. I am honored to be living in America, and in school, when kids don't even bother to stand for the pledge, I find that very frustrating, even if they are not from this country, they should still just stand silently.

I think most Americans are ignorant in history, geography, world affairs etc. Every once in a while somebody will do a study and find out some ridiculously large majority of adults can't find the Suez canal on a map. It seems it isn't a persons age it's just that US citizens as a group don't care to learn about the world or their own country's history.

i don't think 90% of them even acknowledge the historical events that made this country so great. i am military and i believe the younger generation is trying so hard to be young and have fun and do things with friends and different things that they don't realize how great this country is and the freedoms we are able to enjoy. A lot of adults are like this as well, as Americans living in the greatest country we take things for granted.

I think they care, but they can not identify with that time in history...9/11 is the Pearl Harbour of the young.

why do people always assume that everyone under 21 dosent care about this nation or about its past. Why group everyone under one category. many people understand pearl harbor. and if everyone you know is only interested in sex and getting laid than your friends are losers
