Isoroku Yamamoto was Harvard educated and a very astute Admiral.
He championed the concept of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, thinking that the United States would sue for peace to avoid a prolonged war with Japan.
His major mistake was underestimating the American peoples resolve after that attack...
This quote shows his awareness of the consequences of the decisions that where made by the Japanese high command following that attack...
Had they doubled down and invaded the Hawai'ian islands after the sneak attack they would have had a major piece of leverage to keep us out of the war, but one doesn't simply kick a hornet's nest and expect the hornets to roll over. Whether or not a Hawai'ian invasion was even feasible at the time is another topic of debate entirely.
This, once again, seems appropriate: "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve." ~ Yamamoto

An awareness that sadly appears to be lacking in most of the left.
The lack of "self awareness" is a form of anosognosia.
It is also considered a component of the autism spectrum..
The more severe cases are attributed to psychological disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder...
So it is a medical fact that liberalism is a mental disorder....
My new word for the day: Anosognosia. I love words, so thank you!
Thanks for this…..I always thought liberals needed a frontal lobotomy!

Compelling concept, fortunately for us, it is only a "hypothetical" war game issue now....
