He DIDN'T say it. Even "pop" sources like these sites have mistakenly picked up on this. Look at Spector, "The Eagle Against the Sun." Look at ANY substantive history of the Pacific War. Nagumo said something like "I cannot predict what will happen after six months," but no one ever said anything about a "sleeping giant." Pure Hollywood.

I'm not referring to the quote about the sleeping giant. As I mentioned, I'm far more interested in the first Yamamoto quote - "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass."
