Yamamoto Monument at Pearl Harbor

>>138118646
This is honestly the best normie talking point that I've seen used over the past few days. They're only argument is "He may have killed those Americans, btu at least he wasn't mean to the poor blacks."

>>138118646
I respect skilled military leaders, no matter what their cause may have been. Leftists are too emotional when it comes to statues.

I'm ok with this.

>>138118646
I would be fine with that, although comparing him to Lee is a strawman

1. japs were trying to destroy america
2. he wasn't even an american
3. no one cares about him

>>138118646
We should bomb any buildings, bridges, and towns named after British citizens amiright?

>>138118646
How the heck are the two even comparable? Yamamoto was not American, he had no personal connection to America, there's no reason people here would care to honor him. Robet E Lee was a Virginian who fought for his homeland and is being honored and remembered by that homeland.

A more accurate comparison would be American descendents living in Japan demanding any statues in Tokyo honoring Yamamoto be torn down. Which is clearly ludicrous.

oh wait, we actually worked through our problems and put the american revolutionary war behind us
never mind

YEA WE SHOULD HONOR AND STEAL ASIANS ACHIEVEMENTS FOR OUR OWN
BUT PLAY IT OFF AS HONOR AND OPEN ARMS IN OUR COUNTRY

STOP YOUR CORRUPTIVE
PRO-SEGREGATIONAL MINDSET

Oddly I respect him. Educated in America, knew from the start that there was no chance of Japan winning, stayed loyal to his country when the call for war came.

The CSA was no longer in the USA according to the southerners. So when Ft. Sumter was attacked it basically was Pearl Harbor. The USA was attacked by a foreign country.

>>138122441
Just like Robert E Lee, how fitting.

>>138122722
You mean when Lincoln refused to abandon a fort on sovereign CSA lands in order to provoke them into a fight?

>>138121167
If Japan would have won....the West coast would have been integrated into the Empire of Japan, ...Homeland

I guess if you're eight years old and just barely learning about WWII you could get confused and think something ridiculously stupid like that.

>>138118646
I'm absolutely okay with this

I have no problem with a Yamamoto statue. He was a worthy opponent. Hell build a Rommel statue too even.

>>138122722
>The CSA was no longer in the USA according to the southerners.
But they were still Americans, ya fuckin retahd.

>>138122722
>>138122722
Except it was never its own country or territory legitimately. That's why it was called the CIVIL WAR, you stupid nigger.

>>138120752
Japs were not trying to destroy America. Fuck off, commie.

Statues are cool. Who gives a fuck what they represent. a 500m HItler statue would even be cool to see

>>138118646
need a rommel and a monty statue, both facing each other and saluting

the british troops in north africa respected rommel more than their prior commanders

He's also not an American, faggot.
Sage

>>138118646
You over looked one major fact. Robert E Lee was American.

Yamamoto isn't. At this point you're comparing apples to oranges.

>>138128296
They'd be better off trying to compare Lee to Benedict Arnold but even Arnold has a monument.

>>138118646
Sure, as long as its tasteful.

Who is this Yamuto? I'm too retarded to know about history if there is no statue about it. I already forgot about the War of Northern Aggression when the statues were torn down.

>>138118646
America was objectively the aggressor in the Pacific.>>138128434

I find myself agreeing with this

Yamamoto was actually a pretty skilled and honourable commander. Putting up a statue at Pearl Harbour would obviously be in bad taste, but I don't see why you couldn't put one up somewhere else

Part of the western ideal of war and chivalry is of your opponant acts honourably you respect him as someone who faught for their cause, even if it wasn't on your side

>>138128434
That would be a more correct comparison. OP is a fuckin retard.

>>138118646
Robert E. Lee was officially forgiven for his insurrection felony by the United States Congress in a 401-10 vote of the House with bipartisan support. As far as I know, his pardon approval in the Senate was unanimous, and the act was signed by the President of the United States Gerald R. Ford in 1975.

Robert E. Lee was a hero to the South and therefore he has monuments in his honor, scalawag scumboy. Now stop carpetbaggin' and GET OUT!

>>138122722
That's why the US built the military base off the C.S.A. coast in South Carolina: to achieve an act of aggression comparable to Pearl Harbor in which the Yankee scoundrels attacked us, the South, with their full might, to destroy our mighty armed forces. Now git!
