Last of Doolittle’s Raiders Is Called Home

[harmonica]

.....did not change the course of the war..a pin prick

With all the hype generated by the media controlled by the FDR administration and the fact that we rely on media accounts it's hard to get a handle on the actual effect of the raid. It was a great morale booster at a time when we needed one after the debacle of Bataan and Corrigador but it might have backfired in that it did relatively little damage but it heightened Japan's alertness and determination.

of course we didn't need a morale boost--after the back stab of Pearl Harbor
Halsey right after the attack:

Before we're through with them, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell.

The psychological results, it was hoped, would be the recalling of combat equipment from other theaters for home defense thus effecting relief in those theaters, the development of a fear complex in Japan, improved relationships with our Allies, and a favorable reaction on the American people." —General James H. Doolittle

then it was definitely a failure/worthless
Iwo Jima
Okinawa
Guadalcanal--1942.....for over FIVE months

So Yamamoto using that raid to resolve himself to engage in a battle for Midway after the embarrassment of having the emperor's life put at risk, causing irreparable losses to his fleet and costing Japan the Pacific for all intents was a failure?

he wanted to defeat the US Navy anyway
WE are getting stronger everyday--more so than the Japanese
if they don't attack Midway--that's better for the US
the Japanese have to spread their forces--if not--we still go around them

we hit the Marshalls and Gilberts Feb 1942--there's a morale booster

Hmmm it's interesting how little news that got compared to Doolittle's raid on the Japanese mainland. I mean Dolittles raid was carried on the front page of every paper in America...

I mean it's one of the most memorable parts of world war II. Heck they made movies about it during the war. Captain Lawson's book was a top seller a year later. To try and say it's impact and celebration didn't occur just doesn't give with actual history.

But off the top of your head can you tell me who led the raids on the Marshalls and Gilbert's? Who the last survivors of those raids were?

Well actually they weren't looking to spread their forces but rather push to the Indian ocean and combine their forces with Germany. This caused them to rethink that and believe Midway was key to their success, driving them into a singular battle they couldn't recover from in a situation that didn't favor them

that's just it--there could not be success
the US war making potential was over ten times Japan's/etc
.....this is total war--not something like Vietnam/Korea/Grenada/Falklands/etc --that means all out--and the US is overpowering

So you're saying that they made the movie as one of the world war II movies used to build morale but it wasn't a moral builder?

"We all shared the same risks and had no realization of the positive affect our efforts had on the morale of America at the time,” Cole said in 2013

Please don't go full retard. I really doubt you know more about the impact than the actual fucking person who flew it and saw the impact firsthand.

don't be a jackass
they didn't need it to build morale--I've stated the reasons
we would've won the war with or without the raid
in fact, it was a waste of time/planes/aircrews/oil

OF course the men on the raid are going to say it was the most important raid EVER

We need to remember that the FDR administration along with J. Edgar Hoover's FBI took control of the media shortly after WW2. Since the media writes the history books, failed characters like MacArthur become heroes and mistakes like Iwo Jima become victories.
