White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said during a press conference Monday it was natural for World War II veterans to be “embittered” about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Pearl Harbor, but they should get over it for the sake of America.
It was announced Monday that Abe will be the first Japanese leader to visit Pearl Harbor since it was hit by a surprise attack that killed 2,403 Americans and brought the U.S. into World War II. The visit reciprocates President Barack Obama’s visit to Hiroshima earlier this year for the anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on the city.
Abe said in a short statement he would pray for those who died in the war, but gave no indication he would express regret for Japan’s surprise attack.
During a White House press briefing Monday, Earnest was asked whether veterans may be offended by Abe’s visit if he expressed no regret over the attack.
Earnest responded by saying veterans may very well feel “embittered,” especially if they personally fought in World War II.
“If I were a World War II veteran who was drafted by the United States military to go and fight for our country overseas in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, I might feel quite embittered, and I think it would be a perfectly natural and understandable human reaction to not be particularly satisfied with the words of the Japanese Prime Minister,” Earnest said.

josh obviously has never had his pansy ass kicked.
We were supposed to get over 9/11 on 9/12.
Neither Earnest, nor Obama, is fit to shine the shoes of the lowliest infantry private that served during WWII.
Yes—I said that.
After Jan 20 we will all get over Obama. But we will never get over what happened at Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941
Maybe the embittered democrats should get over Hillary losing
FUOpussy
Another “bitter” statement — nice bookends to the worst presidency in US history. Start off with “bitter clingers” and end with “bitter vets.”
Yeh...I flamed when I heard it.
Well, then ALL people who have had a “bitter” past should “Get over it” right? Put the Confederate flag back up and tell everybody to “get over it”, let me know how that works for you.
</rhetorical question>
There isn't a single thing that comes out of this clown's mouth that isn't an insult. He 'conveniently' forgets just how many people signed up immediately upon hearing the news of the Pearl Harbor attack.
Excellent
Dorkbama is pure slime.
The Japan of today is not the Japan of the 1930s and 1940s so in that sense, the Japanese prime minister should come and the US and Japan should work together. Vets should not have any type of “moral veto” over that. But its not Josh Earnest’s place to tell WWII veterans how to feel about it. Especially ones who spent time in Japanese POW camps.
Lame Duck quackery.
