Remembering Pearl Harbor, and It's Lesson
64 years ago today, America was awoken from it's isolationist slumber by the militaristic Japanese and their bombing of Pearl Harbor. We remember those young men and women that were taken by surprise and killed. And we honor the survivors that fought back against humongous odds.
But what we need to take away from the lesson of Pearl Harbor is not the brutal attack by the Japanese, but that you can't hide your head in the sand and expect to remain safe. After WWI and in the 30's the American Military was cut back to such a low level by the Isolationists, that Japan, which was on a Imperialistic jihad, thought that the US would be too weak to fight back. They made a big mistake in that assumption. After Vietnam, Jimmy Carter cut our military back to low levels (and Ronald Reagan tried to restore it) and then Bill Clinton hacked away at it after the Cold War was over. And what was the outcome? On 9/11/2001, 19 Islamofascists flew passenger jets into the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon and would have hit the White House if it hadn't been for a few brave passengers willing to risk their lives to stop them. They did it because they perceived America to be too weak to fight back. Again someone underestimated us. And now the Donks want to Cut and Run in Iraq, thus showing the world that America is too weak to fight it's enemies.
The lesson of Pearl Harbor was a tough lesson to learn with the lives lost that day, but if do not LEARN the lesson, then their lives have been cheapened. In every case it has been a Democrat Leader that has forsaken our military and that has weakened America and those Democrats in office, that did not fight in WWII, have forgotten the lesson of Pearl Harbor.
We need not be aggressors, but we need not be weak either, and even after 64 years, we need to remember Pearl Harbor and that American lives could be lost if we are not diligent in protecting America.
