Just wanted to make any who weren't aware that the 7th was Pearl Harbor Day. Rememberance to the lives lost, and that it kicked off USA involvment in WWII.

Also wanted to thank any service members we have on the site. I know the Crimson Fists have a couple militiary guys. So thank you all.

I hope nobody had forgotten. It was supposed to live in infamy after all.

Too many people forgot, if they hadn't Afgan, Iraq, Vietnam etc might have not occured

I don't know about that. Which side are you saying forgot? Because if you say Americans, there are a great number of similarities between Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 incident both which had the same effect.

Every side forgot. Afgan was Russian not a reference to 9/11. Afgan was Russia's Vietnam, essentially a mirror of how they fought the Nazi's. But if Russia hadn't attacked Afgan, America wouldn't have had to supply weapons, and they America wouldn't have had the opportunity to fuck the hell up (not helping the nation after - Charlie Wilsons War) and therefore 9/11 might (extremely slim chance) not have happened.

All nations on Earth have forgotten the soul destroying pain of WW2 and have embraced the glorification of war again. If we forget then history will repeat.

WWI destroyed souls more. It was supposed to be the War to End All Wars.

Indeed but more civilians were killed in WW2 either bombed (London and the German equivilant Dresden), and also shot or gassed. I was'nt aware of Pearl Harbour Day as im not american but it was tragic and probably one of the worst but effective surprise attacks in history.

And yes crusiaz perhaps Bin Laden would'nt have planned 9/11 but what i understand is that he hated the west anyway but suppressed it so he would get their help. We should've sent a nuke to him then and there then this shit never would've happend.

That wouldn't have done much to solve anything. Nuking places doesn't promote peaceful coexistence. And often a single dramatic spark can set off world events. WWI was started by a simple assassination, WWII by crossing a DMZ, etc.
