According to these guys the US attacke Japan in ww2

[Robert W]

Navy commander means military, if you knew anything about WW 2 history, you would know that FDR had USN ships escorting BRITISH convoys halfway across the Atlantic to the so-called MOMP (M Id O cean M eeting P oint. He had issued a “ shoot on sight” order for American warships to attack any German ships. The “British” PBY Catalina that spotted Bismarck was being flown by a USN pilot who was “advising” the RAF Coastal Command crew.

No shit!!! I knew that for a long long time. My mistake since it was just my recall that Al was hunting Nazi subs in 1941 however it was in 1942.

 

[GLASNOST]

Apparently, you are confused since you don't know about the Nazis subs seen by Americans sinking ships off the Atlantic coast of the USA. Correction it was in 1942 and not in 1941. Al died so I can't ask him the story now.

In other words you don't really remember what he told you or if you are just confused. Your biggest mistake is in not understanding that I am trying to help you. If you made a mistake don't you want to know?

Al died in 2019 so he can't correct me.

 

[Robert W]

Because what you wrote is probably not true.

Just the year my dead friend told me. I found my error. Keep in mind I am just trying to help you.

 

[GLASNOST]

Al died in 2019 so he can't correct me.

At least we can agree on that. Actually, that is what I have been trying to tell you from the beginning.

Dead men tell no tales.

 

[GLASNOST]

Keep in mind I am just trying to help you.

... and I am trying to help you.

That is a clichè that is out of place here. I am trying to help you but you don't realize it so I think I'll just let you believe what you want to believe. I'm out.

 

[Robert W]

... and I am trying to help you.

Great. So, you are onboard with my remarks?

 

[Robert W]

That is a clichè that is out of place here. I am trying to help you but you don't realize it so I think I'll just let you believe what you want to believe. I'm out.

So, after all the hounding, you were not trying to help me at all!!

 

[Concerned American]

I’m lazy

could you link us to the thread you are referring to?

HI has been a US territory from 1898 until statehood in Aug. of 1959.

And that was only after several attacks on US Navy ships by Germany.

First was the USS Niblack incident I described earlier where a German sub attacked a US Destroyer rescuing sailors from a Dutch freighter they had sunk.

Then the attack on the USS Greer.

It was only after those two incidents that the President made that order.

And it was not like Germany did not already have a history of attacking neutral ships and shipping.

Do you know what "tempus" means?

 

[Robert W]

Do you know what "tempus" means?

 

[Robert W]

Do you know what "tempus" means?

It is a firm.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Because what you wrote is probably not true.

again, proving you don't have any knowledge of history.

The U.S. Navy engaged in combat with German forces before the official declaration of war on December 7, 1941. Here are some key events and actions:

• September 4, 1941: The USS Greer engaged in a 3.5-hour fight with a German submarine, U-652, off the coast of Newfoundland.
  
  1
• October 17, 1941: The USS Kearny was torpedoed by a German submarine, but managed to navigate to Iceland under its own power.
  
  1
• October 1941: The U.S. Navy's Task Force 14 was launched to guard a British troop convoy heading to Singapore, but found no enemy ships during its patrol.
  
  1
• September 1941: The U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet changed from defensive to offensive operations, authorizing the destruction of any German submarine or raider that threatened shipping.

  These actions were part of the U.S. Navy's preparations for an open conflict and were indicative of the ongoing naval war against Germany before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

[Robert W]

I can see that you do not know very much about the war. You made a statement that seems untrue

That is him helping me.

 

[GLASNOST]

I have wasted too much time trying to help you. I won't help you any more.
