The point I was making is that the Japanese were far from being exonerated for the attack because it was against “our military” when in fact children were killed. ... If in fact their were only 50 killed, so what? The number is not the issue it’s the fact that it happened.
Are we in a declared war? No. Is our military deployed in a foreign land facing the threat of death on a daily basis as we routinely take action to kill the enemy? Yes. declaration-smeclaration
If our military folks don't like the current scene, they have only themselve to blame for initiating active warfare on Mar 19, 2003
