Reason for Revenge

        On December 7, 1041 at 7:02 A.M. army radar at Opana tracked down a cloud of aircraft flying overhead from the north. a Fort Shafter officer concluded it was a flight of B-17s on their way in from California. At 7:49 A.M. a wave of 183 Japanese airplanes start an attack. 40 torpedo bombers and 49 high-altitude bombers attack battleships other planes attack airfields. Then at 8:55 A.M. the second wave of 167 planes replenishes the attack on airfields and ships.  
        The United States was under attack with no sort of warning and no reason for attack. Japan showed that they were prepared for war and wanted to attack while the U.S. was weak and unprepared. The United States had already lost a ton of me in Pearl Harbor to the Japanese and shouldn't lose more to the Japanese when they are willing to die instead of lose in battle.
