DoLiitle was media hype for the folks here at home.

Dolittle did little in comparison to what the Japanese did to us at Pearl Harbor.

The Doolittle raid did zero dammage to the Japanese. It convinced them that a wimpy failed bombing run,where we lost all our bombers was all we could do to them.

In the world as the Japanese saw it, they sawed off our legs at Pearl Harbor and they DoLittle response was to stomp on their toe.
