Well yeah the bombing of pearl harbor was literally what got us involved in the war to begin with.

If u look at the pictures it’s a different kind of bomb. Pearl Harbor was with planes etc this wasn’t with planes. And ya everyone even in communist China rn knows about Pearl Harbor but no one knows about the other bombs they sent

You mean those programmed balloon things? Honestly, the interesting part of that is not the bombs or even the clever release delay but how USA managed to track down where they were constructed by analyzing the ballast sand and comparing it to regional samples they had of beaches in Japan.

Ya that was cool

... and?

Did you think "war" means only the US can kill civilians?

[JohnK123]

Ofc not
Most people don’t know about these bombs that’s why I’m asking if anyone knows about them

[boggboss]

Not too surprising you guys where at war

[JohnK123]

Just that some people don’t really know that bombs came to the mainland
