It is a sad fact of life that the politicians, and those in power, start wars and that the people of the nations involved bleed, die, suffer, and otherwise pay the price of war. The Military kill each other the old fashioned way, directly, with bullets, bombs, planes, tanks, ships, knives, hand to hand combat etc.
History testifies to the fact that they are generally the first to bleed, suffer, and die.
History records that the bullets, bombs, torpedoes, planes, ships and other implements of war used by Japan, to destroy the peace at Pearl Harbor and during the war in the Pacific, and by Americans, to reestablish the peace, were made by civilians. The attack killed over 2,400 and wounded over 1,175. Congress declared war against Japan on that date. He was a Missourian known for his honesty and one of the most respected politicians of his time. The war in Europe was over and the Axis Powers of Italy and Germany had been defeated.
