I watched a small clip of a movie pertaining to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It was really sad seeing them all just die like that. It was pretty unjustified for Japan to do that... :-/ Anywho, I hope you like it.
December 7th, 1941
America looked over the fiftieth state and the ocean which was floating with many dead bodies of the countries' soldiers. Tears ran down his eyes. It was a really rare sight indeed to see the usually bright and self-centered country cry, but this was too much. In the back round there were fires that were still burning what was left of the planes, both Japanese and American, on land. America knelt down and picked up a badge which had the Japanese flag on it*. Angered, he threw it as far as he could out into the water.
"America..." The nation looked to see Britain.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" America stammered. Why was he here?
"I'm just here to say I"m sorry for the lost of so many people..."
"That's not necessary. Its totally between me and Japan. So damn bitter over something that could have prevented." Britain felt a little anxious around America when he was upset. Even more so now because this was a big deal. More than a big deal... Hospital trucks started to arrive as they removed the carcasses from out of the ocean. America just shook his head.
"They came one hour late, yet we weren't prepared for it. I don't know what to do at this point."
"Revenge, perhaps?" Britain suggested. America glared at him.
"What makes you think that revenge is important right now? People in my country are mourning over loved ones! Revenge isn't the first thing on most citizens' minds at the moment! Japan could attack again at any moment! We are weak..." The tears forced their way out his eyes when he tried to hold them back. "Not right now." Britain realized he was right and felt guilty for even thinking about it.
"I understand, America-"
"No you don't. You don't understand when a country bombs you so unprepared. We are one of the youngest countries out there, compared to Europe! We were doing pretty well."
"Hey! I had my fair share of being bombed by Germany not too long ago! You're not the only country to be attacked from the sky by huge missiles!" Britain snapped. "Germany, nor Japan, should have done it."
"They had reason to bomb you-"
"And why is that?" America instantly regretted those words as soon as they were spoken. They both knew that it had hurt Britain and it's pride in many ways, and he never really liked to talk about it.
"Nothing dude." America muttered
"I thought so. Remember, we are still at war. I bet some country will bomb another in the future. So don't dwell on it too much."
"I know, dude."
"I'll be leaving you to your business now. If you need anything, you know where I am. We are Allies, after all."
"Thanks, man."
*When a soldier has a badge of a country's flag, it shows that they have fought in that country.
I found the attack unfair. I mean, just because we stopped trading with Japan, that doesn't mean you bomb us. Not cool.
So do you think it was fair? Or not? I surely don't...
Until next time...
