My take on the TV show was that the producers were trying to put a face on the enemy, a tactic often used by the left to show our inhumanity. But, I still think the show was a good one.
The real reason I'm posting is because of the current state of Japanese propoganda. The Japanese govt's official position is still that the bombing of Pearl Harbor never happened. To this day the children in Japan are taught that the Pearl Harbor bombing never happened and it was a made up excuse for the U.S. to attack Japan. Most Japanese citizens either do not know of Pearl Harbor or think it is American propaganda. So, when we bombed them, it was to them, an undeserving atrocity. Also remember, Japan has never formally apologized for Pearl Harbor or their role in WWII.
I think bombing them was the best decision of the war. Justmy 2 cents.
