I had to sort through about 200 posts this morning to find this post,
which is at least sort of boating related and not snotty. Congratulations!

Since you made this post, make that 201 snotty posts. Congratulations.

Amen.


Your boy is spoofin' away this morning, John. Your boy because he is on
your side of the political fence, eh?

Don't know and don't care. Maybe one day you'll learn to ignore him, or her. I
don't count out the plum, who may well be trying to keep the pot stirred.


Hey, so long as "Ziggy" and his fellow cluster****ers are active here,
there will be no peace in the valley and the newsgroup will continue to
shrink.

Nice name calling and insulting! That should help with the newsgroup
harmony.


Are you running for newsgroup clown or newsgroup idiot? I ask because no
matter what handle you use here, most of your posts are almost exactly
the same. You surely are not contributing to "newsgroup harmony."

Other than your attempts to harass a couple of posters, is there any
reason for your presence in this newsgroup? Hell, man, the people you
are trying to annoy the most either have you filtered or ignore you. How
satisfying can that be?


I am trying to maintain the group harmony.

Bull****. You, Ziggy, the Harry spoofer and LG are only here to stir the
pot and keep it boiling. There's a likelihood that you, Ziggy and the
Harry spoofer are the same jerk-off.

Grow up and grow a pair.



Insulting and name calling
(like you are doing above) does nothing to help in this endeavor.

As long as you and Harry respond to their posts, as though obsessed, they're
recieving the attention they want.

Grow up, both of you. Learn to ignore ****.


John, you're going to have to somehow obtain a L.A. degree before the two liberal snots will hear you.

Yup. Couple of years ago we were at the local VA hospital with valentine
cards and one guy is a riot. Gets to telling us about doing photo recon in
the South Pacific and is getting ready to go fly and the local commander
tells him they are loading him with bombs, no recon today. Go bomb the
Japanese at Midway. Some great story were told. No bragging, just telling
how life was as a young man in the Aircorp.

It is a great line, but it was most likely created by a Hollywood
screenwriter, and is not a quote by the Admiral.

from Wikipedia

Neither At Dawn We Slept, written by Gordon Prange, nor The Reluctant
Admiral, the definitive biography of Yamamoto in English by Hiroyuki
Agawa, contain the line.

Randall Wallace, the screenwriter of Pearl Harbor, readily admitted that
he copied the line from Tora! Tora! Tora!. The director of Tora! Tora!
Tora!, Richard Fleischer, stated that while Yamamoto may never have said
those words, the film's producer, Elmo Williams, had found the line
written in Yamamoto's diary. Williams, in turn, has stated that Larry
Forrester, the screenwriter, found a 1943 letter from Yamamoto to the
Admiralty in Tokyo containing the quotation. However, Forrester cannot
produce the letter, nor can anyone else, American or Japanese, recall or
find it.

OK, so which line didn't they use?

The long? or the short version?

"Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is portrayed at the very end of the
1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora!, and in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor, as
saying after his attack on Pearl Harbor, "I fear all we have done is
to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."[1]
The supposed quotation was abbreviated in the film Pearl Harbor
(2001), where it merely read, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a
sleeping giant."

The supposed quotation was abbreviated in the film Pearl Harbor
(2001), where it merely read, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a
sleeping giant."

If you read the article you quoted it doesn't say either of them can be
historically attributed to Admiral Yamamato. They both were written by
Hollywood screenwriters, the screenwriter for Pearl Harbor just took the
line that was written by the screenwriter for Tora Tora Tora and made a
shorter version. No historian can find anyone who attributed the line
to Yamamoto, nor does it appear in any of Yamamoto's writing or diary.
What is does show is the power of Hollywood to rewrite history.

The only way one can believe that this was actually said by the Admiral
is if you believe the screenwriter's story that he found a letter
written by Yamamoto that contained the quote. After reading the letter,
the screenwriter then lost his copy of the letter. Not only did the
screenwriter lose his copy of the letter, but no American Historian or
Japanese Historian can remember the letter, nor can they find a copy of
the letter in any of the archives and historical records.

I think most people find the screenwriters story of finding the quote
and then losing his copy of the letter containing the quote to be too
"Hollywood" even for Hollywood.

Isn't it amazing how you and the Harry ID spoofer are here at the same
