Pearl Harbor day represented to we boomers growing up several things. Some of them were that we should never be lax in our defense and be careful and diligent with our intelligence gathering.
America was apathetic about getting involved in the wars that were going on overseas. We wanted to take an isolationist approach; this was due to the fiasco of WW1. We didn't recognize the flattening of the earth.
In retrospect, some of our WW2 enemies (Japan and Germany) are our friends, and our allies (China and Russia) are our enemies. Does this recall the book 1984?
What did we learn?
