Re: Pearl Harbor bombed!
My youngest brother is 49 today. The Today Show had a vet on who was a radar operator at Pearl Harbor...he still has the documents he issued when he saw a massive incoming attack...but radar was new technology at the time and wasn't taken seriously,
The dude had a quite a war record, and then spent his career as an appliance salesman at Sears, and is still receiving a pension from that job.

Re: Pearl Harbor bombed!
I got trained in radar repair in the army...but they gave my another assignment when I graduated. I worked on the radars and tail guns on the B-52 when I was in the air force.

Re: Pearl Harbor bombed!
I want to form a shitty college band named Pearl Harbor just so I can see this headline on the front of the student newspaper.
I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

And to make everyone feel older....
We are farther from 1980 than 1980 was from WW2.

Re: Pearl Harbor bombed!
I do still like the headline that the Onion had for Pearl Harbor in their "Our Dumb Century" book. Unfortunately I can't find a picture of it online, but this was it:
1941: DASTARDLY JAPS ATTACK COLONIALLY OCCUPIED U.S. NON-STATE
FDR: 'We Conquered the Hawaiians First'
French Surrender

Re: Pearl Harbor bombed!
I think about that every time I see movies from when I was a kid and they seemed to have tons of working WW2 planes flying around. Sort of like my kids seeing planes from Desert Storm.noxiousdog wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 11:37 am And to make everyone feel older....

How about this, The Blue Max was was made closer to WW1 than to today.
