Bigross and I were talking about the merits of surprise attacks on the Vehicles board and decided to move to a more appropriate thread.
My thought was this: Excluding societal standards of "decency" at the time, striking Pearl Harbor made perfect military sense.
I find it quite amazing that the same country (the US) that screamed bloody murder over Pearl Harbor had no problem at all with surprise attacks conducted later in the 20th Century either by the US or it's allies.
Any thoughts on the "right" or "wrong" of the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor?
