the bombing of pearl harbor was in 1941. then the battle of midway was fought. u.s. dive bombers destroyed four japanese aircraft carriers. that was a major portion of japan's navel strength. whatever chance japan had it when in the pacific war probably disappeared in june 1942. that early into the war, from the pain and humiliation of pearl harbor were to the battle of midway. that is a relatively brief time. so the war went on for three years beyond midway. i think most japanese naval officers in particular realized that the war was probably lost by midway, but they took a colossal gamble to launch a war against the united states. what were they to do this early in the war except for hanging tough and hope for a miracle. i think that's what japanese officers in particular were doing. it was often couched in words of loyalty to the emperor. but it was probably more of the corporate culture of the japanese officer corps. maybe the americans would tire of the struggle. maybe we, japanese, could take such a toll of u.s. casualties that an american president would be fo

i keep seeing every year, they talk about pearl harbor. the american was attacked unprovoked, which is not true. truman said on that clip that japan bombed pearl harbor unprovoked. that's not true. because the flying tigers were flying under the eight w. g under secret order of the president. and until 1996 where reagan or clinton acknowledged the flying tigers were part of the military so they could get va benefits, then it shifted a w. gee was under military guidance. so i keep hearing of this japanese unprovoked attack, but that's not true. i'm not saying that the war was not a bad thing because it was a very terrible thing what japan did to china and russia and the philippines, they were terrible things. >> we will get a response from our guest, in toll. >> i think that the count against the japanese for the way they began the war was not so much that it was an unprovoked attack. but that there was no formal declaration of war prior to the attack. there is the idea of a sneak attack, a surprise attack that really infuriated americans.

in the uncertain weeks after pearl harbor as japanese forces expanded dramatically across the pacific and southeast asia many americans particularly those along the pacific coast feared enemy attack and saw danger in every corner. these wartime fears combined with racial prejudice led to a great injustice. early in 1942 civilian and military leaders on the west coast complained that members of the region's large japanese-american community might be working with the japanese military to plan acts of sabotage. though no serious evidence of this existed they pushed the roosevelt administration for action. it led to the forced relocation of more than 110,000 japanese americans living on the west coast. they were confined to internment camps operated by the military. more than two thirds of these people were native born american citizens. abruptly forced to abandon or sell their homes and businesses many lost everything that they owned. similar wartime fears led canada and nations throughout latin america to adopt comparable expulsion measures against residents of japanese ancestry. yet th

for the multiplicity more positive results are people like pearl harbor maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to coral arbor. we're. fixing our terms of. it's justified our no i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history see why something like that catastrophic should go like an apology were like but i'm pretty sure i'm looking for reparations i'm native american different i'm going to get any that's not going to happen it's not going to happen but it just nice. i thought she was when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia coming after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died to be. here when i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it would have taken much longer for the war to end would have been over without the bombings on the moon between japan and the us it's a shame the u.s. hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. it's very important to

after pearl harbor, really it was unlimited checkbook. and one of the things that he was really very astute on was the ability to keep everything compartmentalized, so as the manhattan project grew it became this black box project that literally only a handful of people in the administration knew what it was about. i've always felt that one of the reasons that fdr brought truman on as his vice president at that point, was that truman had famously headed the truman commission which was investigating expenditures, military expenditures looking for corruption and profit taking, and when he discovered this massive outflow of cash to this manhattan project and he asked about it, he was told, you know, just leave that alone. and he did. he didn't make it a focus of his investigation. so this funding that he created for was really under this whole massive outlay of capital from the federal government, and although it was close to $2 billion at the time, again, it depends how you measure the money, it might have been more, might have been less, t

that early into the word than what we say humiliation or pain of pearl harbor to the big victory at midway. just about six months, it's a big ocean but that's a brief time. the more we will go on for over three years from june of 1942 - august of 1945. i think the naval office in particular, this crosses the board that they realized that the world was lost after midway but they took this gamble to launch a war on the united states, the country whose economy was ten times the size of their own and what was there to do now this early on in the war but hope for some kind of miracle, i think that's what japanese officers were doing, it was often coached and loyalty to the emperor, we cannot let the emperor down but the corporate culture of the japanese office, they saw no way out then to hang tough and realize it's a big ocean, maybe something would happen, maybe the americans retire the struggle, maybe we, japanese could take such a toll on the u.s. casualties that america president would be forced in the war on favorable terms to japan, that was never to be. the japanese military was broken

that attack suddenly defended on pearl harbor without declaration of war. i think that played into the particular brutality of the pacific war. scott did not say what his ,ather did when he was drafted but i think one of the most interesting stories about the pacific war and little heard is the role of japanese-americans who worked as interpreters or language officers who helped develop propaganda messages to a method japanese. it was an essential role in places like okinawa, the heroism of the japanese american soldiers who went down to the caves and negotiated with japanese voices, trying to encourage them to surrender. it was enormous personal risk. that is one of the greatest stories of the pacific war that is not familiar to people. host: pitching in maryland. ind morning -- jean maryland, on our line for veterans. caller: i was 12 years old when we declared war on the japanese. i was the youngest of five children, three brothers and a sister, all inactive duty in the military. one person ass, one family, we love truman's decision. my two brothers were
