Do you also watch? Try Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States". He obviously has a very dull axe to grind but makes some very good points; many of which I and probably Stormin' Norman know to be correct since we lived it.
If you do watch it - and I urge everyone to do so - you'll wind up with a much better understanding of why we are where we are today.
but with Gingrich it's an easy case because we have all read his Tweet.
In my book when Gingrich did not say one word in praise of America but instead called Japan's attack "brilliant" he's a traitor.
Had he used the word "evil" instead I'd not have gotten upset.
In my book it was a sneak attack in no way different from "911".
That said, had Japan won the war, they'd be calling the shots now, and had the war ended in victory for them, then the Japanese might look at it as brilliant. That did not happen.
BTW: When I was a kid, the guy next door was stationed at Pearl Harbor.
He was below deck pressing his pants. After the heard the explosions, he came up and the whole top of the ship was heavily damaged. Sure wish I could remember what ship he was on...but I assure you he would have puked to have seen Gingrich's Tweet.
That said, I see Trump is getting some criticism for surrounding himself with a lot of retired top-brass.
Truth is I think that may not be a bad move as they know the consequences of war. It's the civilians such as Newt who would have washed out of basic training who are all too eager to send other people's kids off to war.
There were about a half dozen radar sites on Oahu at the time, none at Wheeler AFB (there was one at adjacent Schofield buy I don't know if it was operational); both are in the center of Oahu. The one that picked up planes was Opana Radar Site which was near Kahuku which is at the NE tip of Oahu.
I am glad you qualified it with "that day" else I might have had to mutter, "Nanjing" (et al).
As far as attacking civilians goes, would you consider the day & night bombing - up to 2000 bombers per day - of German cities to be the act of terrorists? How about the fire bonbing of Hamburg? Of Dresden? Of Tokyo? Hiroshima & Nagasaki, terroristic acts?
Excepting as noted, it's highly unlikely just such a sentence would be the result on its own, and...
as it turns out it wasn't. I saw the other comment and while alone it still isn't anything offensive to anybody but somebody looking to be offended, it is then with the earlier very clear that Newt was putting out a serious warning on a serious day about being caught unprepared (yet) again...which is the sort of think I'd think/expect from Newt; as said, whether you agree/disagree with his politics, he's no dummy.
Clearly you can't see the forest for the trees in letting your personal dislike cloud any judgment on content. "Shoot the messenger, it _might_ be good news!"
But, continue to rail at your heart's content for what good it does...you probably should as I suggested earlier, ignore all such postings; you'll only be upset for no purpose otherwise.
