As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Few people know that America was invaded by the Japanese Imperial Army on December 7th, 1941 AD in the year of our Lord, on the soil of Hawaii, and not just over the air at Pearl Harbor Naval Station.
The state of Hawaii was invaded by land on the island of Kona in the first wave of the Japanese attack. The following is an account by Elizabeth Goldhahn. What is of most interest in this, was the first land battle in America of World War II was fought by the Militia or armed Citizens with big game rifles.
Every gun in that part of the coast was mobilized, civilian volunteers assembled, along with the military…. The men were armed, ready and waiting when the Japanese patrol boats approached. A concentrated volley from big game rifles, small arms and handguns left the Japanese rolling in the crimson surf. None of them set foot on Hawaii…. The force set to occupy the Kona region was destroyed to a man.
While the United States Navy was receiving a resounding thrashing by the Japanese Naval and Air corps, the Japanese landing parties were completely wiped out by the American Militia.
This reality is the fact, that thee only victory America would experience for years under Franklin Roosevelt would be the one in which Armed American Citizens fought for their native State and won. Roosevelt would resort to gimmicks in the General Doolittle raid on Tokyo.
It would not be until August 7th, 1942 in the American Marine landing of Guadalcanal in a most costly battle that Americans would experience another land victory by the standing Army.
That is the reality of the Day of Infamy in December 7th, 1941, American Civilians, armed with their own weapons, destroyed the invading Japanese Imperial Army in the surf of Kona for an absolute victory.
