Note the headline: "Dutch Harbor Raided"
(For fans of Deadliest Catch, yes, it's that Dutch Harbor. This attack, the Japanese midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbor and the attack against Diego Suarez were a feint by the Japanese to distract the Americans before the planned attack on Midway Atoll on June 4th. The distraction failed because U.S. code breakers, under the command of Commander Joe Rochefort, had broken the Japanese code and knew of the planned attack against Midway. The Battle of Midway was one of the most significant turning points of the Pacific war and Rochefort should have been decorated for his accomplishment, but because he got sideways with several higher-ups in the intelligence community in Washington, D.C., the petty nature of such small men denied him what he had earned and even had him removed from his duties at Pearl Harbor, putting the country and the lives of U.S. military personnel at risk.

As bad as this was, putting personal issues before the good of the nation, we have seen in recent years, the intelligence services are far worse now that they were in the 1940's. The former people at the top of U.S. intelligence services and the current head of the Department of Justice are vile traitors who attempted a coup d'état against a U.S. President and the American people. Rochefort was decorated, posthumously and the injustice against him was corrected, but I must ask, when will the injustice committed by modern intelligence officials be corrected. When will charges be made, when will there be treason trials and will there ever be justice done for the American people?)
