| I heard some people talking about how the US actually fired the first shots of WWII. Before the bombing of pearl harbor, the US sunk a submarine. I looked on CNN and found this article. Anyone have any more knowledge on this? |

| all i have to say it that the people inside that sub were just as kamikazes as the ones in the plane. Its like sending a little chiuaua in a junkyard to fight against a raging pitbull. they were asking for it

| WWII started in 39, America didn't have anything to do with it until 3 years after it started. So it was not even close to the first shot. The war didnt start with America.

And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?" |

| The japanese sent two subs against pearl habor that day. One broke down and beached itself and the other, we no know was suken. However for the better part of 60 years the sinking was not confirmed. The destroyer reported a sonar contact and dropped some depth charges.......The sinking was not confirmed until the sub was found....interesting. |
