“Day of Infamy”

If I could go back into time and prevent something, I think I would go to Pearl Harbor and confirm and warn that the Japanese are going to attack Pearl Harbor and with that in mind the US Navy fleet would have been well prepared for such an attack seeing as though an attack from Japan was imminent. As a result of my precautions, the out come of the attack would be entirely different and the US economy today could have been different.

, and 2,403 servicemen were killed in the attack. One main reason of this was because they were all unprepared. The Japanese attacked during the waking hours of normal people. Many of the servicemen were still in the state of sleep or just starting out their day,...
