Talking about lying liars who lie - usually American leftists present the guy who planned the Pearl Harbor attack - Yamamoto - was a secret pacifist because he graduated from Harvardhttps://t.co/8AsNSlAa0B pic.twitter.com/wt2YpJQ44c

Ironically, this Japanese film portrays the American left's ivy league darling Yamamoto as a double dealing lying weasel unctuous Uriah Heep type character who was a secret fascist warmongerhttps://t.co/rtNB4YmdmF pic.twitter.com/NcN7t8HvGF

Conversely, in more anachronistic history - the Hirayama character advocates building a giant battleship that will be used not to deter war but as a supposedly substitutiary sacrifice for Japanhttps://t.co/LyxxY00Rpx pic.twitter.com/SZceLd4l40

"This isn’t a conventional war movie, more of a superficial gloss of 'How we blundered into war' tale, complete with Japanese revisionist scrubbing of how their 'advance into China' (a bloody, territory and resource-coveting invasion) history."https://t.co/cQAEon1vo9 pic.twitter.com/5gCTvpkp7o

It's not obvious while "struggling to rebuild after a world-wide financial panic" that it was necessary for Japan to "set up a puppet state in Manchuria"

The USA never joined the League of Nations in the 1st place - so that's also not a reason for Japan to ally with Hitler pic.twitter.com/reO767gjFl
The film contradicts itself-it says Japanese imperialists built the Yamato battleship as a symbolic gesture for the allies to bomb instead of the Japanese islands-but they admit the Yamato sank in April 1945 &Japan didn't surrender until the USA nuked themhttps://t.co/UcyV9YkWUq pic.twitter.com/CKf9FDXieQ

Seems the Yamato was deployed as a kamikaze ship

"The fact that the much-valued Yamato was deployed on that occasion, without contact with aircraft, made it a failure...It was an inconsistent strategy, and a ridiculous battle."https://t.co/CBVJJpZq3C pic.twitter.com/sGBPR1hWIS
