This might not be a popular but there is nothing to apologize for. Pearl Harbor was a legitimate military target.

Pearl Harbor would have been legitimate. It was still a dirty move to bomb it without a formal declaration of war.

Wars have happened since the dawn of time - it's part of human nature.

Most people don’t know that Hiroshima was the home of one of Japan’s larger boot camps, also, a military target.

This might not be a popular but there is nothing to apologize for. Pearl Harbor was a legitimate military target. Agreed. What is all this namby-pamby apologizing? It was a war for crying out loud. We lost a lot of lives because we weren't prepared. This is all the fault of our current idiot-in-chief, who feels we (and others presumably) need to apologize for every perceived war action. Can't wait for this doofus to leave office.

Agreed...besides the Japanese current government and its people have done nothing to us; it was their forbears and our forbears that had controversies with each other. Let the dead of history apologize to the dead! Let the living live at peace with each other as best they can!

Yes, Pearl Harbor was a legitimate military target. The issue of guilt has to do with launching wars of aggression for purposes of imperial expansion.

I'll stand with you on that.

Knowing what the US did to Japan in the years leading up to PH and what Japan felt they had to do to protect their sovereign nation, I'd have to say, we'd likely have done much the same. Except for the screw up in the timing of their declaration before launching the attack.

As were the two cities that we’re nuked. Clearly an invasion of Japan would have been much worse for both sides and a quick and decisive end to the war was best.

[Alberta's Child]

Even if it wasn’t, it’s silly to apologize for something that was done 75 years ago by people who aren’t even alive today.

One of the stupidest posts ever!!!

War was not declared, there are no legitimate military targets in peacetime. It was a cowardly and shameful act.

Concur - it was the backstabbing politicians including the still negotiating ambassador in DC that were to blame.
