That makes no sense. Kamikaze is the ultimate sacrifice of yourself for your country - that's why Japanese kamikaze pilots were so enthusiastic! You = crazy

They certainly scared the s**t out of the americans and took a few boats with them.

I remember seeing a show about it, one of the deck officers on an american vessel noted how troop morale was devastated when they watched a 'zero plunge into the top of a nearby vessel and practically tear the front section away from the main hull.

Scary stuff.

If I were the commander of the armed forces, I would say it was a waste of valuable men and planes.

Anyway, it was the Japanese mistake to ever attack the Americans at Pearl Habour.

If I remember correctly, the Americans were not in a war with the Japanese.

I may be wrong, it was quite a while ago. Discovery channel stuff.

Could it have been the British?

Umm....let me see now......

World War 2 was split into two different places of the world. Europe and Asia.

Europe we have the Germans as the bad guys. The British and other Europe countries were fighting the Germans.

In Asia, the Japanese were making a push into China, down to Singapore. The British were there too. The British couldn't do much because the big cannons were facing the sea away from Malaysia but the Japanese came through Malaysia to Singapore. Also, I could be wrong here but the Japanese force was just too fierce to be stopped and the Bristish surrendered, so Singapore became Japanese property for the next 2 to 3 years. Good thing my dad was not born in that era. It was hell I heard.

Anyway, the Americans had a naval base in Pearl Harbour too. Guess the Japanese saw that as a threat if they wanted to conquer the whole Asia. So, they attacked. That got the Americans' attention all right.

The rest you know. Hitler died. How he died nobody can be certain. Some say he commited suicide. The German forces could not survive the harsh weather conditions of the Soviet Union. Japan had a taste of 2 nuclear bombs. End of the war in 1945.

I can cook you a nice breakfast too. Scrambled eggs, toast with whatever jam. I can even fight like a Jedi.

Things that I can't do are using DOS commands because I've been usiing too much Windows, stop myself from being an Internet addict and more.

I'm still waiting for 5th generation programming languages:

ME: "Computer make me a program that does this and this and this"

COMPUTER: "No problem"

Right now I still need a computer interpreter known as a computer programmer. (You crazy but wonderful people   )

The amazing thing is I once knew DOS cause I had Windows 3.11. Then we got a new computer with Windows 98 and all of the DOS knowledge was replaced by BG, FS, and CivII knowledge.
