It is a bit strange when Americans say that Japan attacked us without first declaring war. So what? We attack countries all over the planet without declaring war.
The following piece was written by a friend and Special Forces combat veteran. His picture can be seen online with President Ronald Reagan due to my friend earning a Silver Star in a big firefight one day when we lost some people. (I was not there.)

It's good to know that there are people in America who are actually trying to face their own double standards, genuinely.
It's a bit of a relief.
“The Godfather Part II”, from the last scene,
-- Michael (Al Pacino) who have become the "Godfather" recalls;
Sonny (James Caan):
Ah, say -- what do you think of the nerve those Japs -- those slanty eyed bastards, huh. Dropping bombs in out back yard -- and on Pops birthday ya know.
Fred (John Cazale):
Now they didn't know it was Pop's birthday.
Sonny:
They didn't know it was Pop's birthday.
Tom (Robert Duvall):
We should have expected it after the Oil embargo.
Sonny:
What do you mean expect it -- expect it or not they have no right dropping bombs. What are you a Jap lover or something -- are you on their side?
Tessio:
I understand thirty thousand men enlisted this morning.
(And Michael confide that he has volunteered for the Marine Corps, Sony take grip on Michael.)
Girl:
Mommy, Daddy's fighting again. Uncle Michael Mama.
『ゴッドファーザー PART II』、ラストシーンから
ゴッドファーザーとなったマイケル（アル・パチーノ）の回想；
ソニー（ジェームズ・カーン）:
おい、あのジャップの神経どう思う？、あの釣り目野郎どもだ。裏庭へ爆弾落っことしやがった、父さんの誕生日にだぜ。
フレド（ジョン・カザール）:
だから、父さんの誕生日とは知らんさ。
ソニー:
父さんの誕生日とは知らん。
トム（ロバート・デュヴァル）:
石油禁輸なんかするからだ。
ソニー:
なんだって？、だからって爆弾落とすかよ。おまえジャップの恋人か何かか？、やつらの側に立つのか？
テッシオ（エイブ・ヴィゴダ）:
今朝3万人が入隊志願したらしい。
で、マイケル（アル・パチーノ）が海兵隊に志願したことを打ち明け、ソニーがマイケルに掴み掛かる。
女の子:
ママ、パパまたマイケルおじさんと喧嘩してるよ、ママ。
