I have to write a paper for History… no idea how to answer this question.
So, if you go to church on a Sunday, and someone blows that church up while you were in it… it means you should either be proud that you survived it or not proud because you were not prepared?
We were not at war at that time. It was a Sunday morning when most of the fleet was off duty. Sucks that it happened and it sucked that we had to show the world and Japan of what we could do… so that would like asking a Japanese survivor of the one of the two atom bomb drops if he was proud.
