Not only did we have Japanese ciphers but we gave them false intel that our fleet was ready to move on them.

Our Navy would have had trouble making it to Japan much less operating in the South Pacific, and we knew it had to be replaced.

Those sailors were sacrificed not only for the optics of getting into the war, but to allow us to build a new fleet.

Do you, and everyone reading this, think that our history will be rewritten to acknowledge the truth of these things?Its horrible to be sure but how else do we make sure this never happens again.

Not only is it going to continue, it's going to become worse than most can imagine. Just look at the technology trend-lines. The pressure-relief of "underground sites" and groups will probably continue, but what does it matter when most humans are as easily controlled as livestock on a farm?
