To the people Japan - you made a huge mistake attacking the United States, even the Germans did not want to bring the US into the war. We will show you why the Germans did not want us in the war - our military has been preparing for war; we have the best military leaders that rule the land, sea, and air - in all the world, we have already had a draft of young men to create the most dedicated fighting force in the world! YOU HAVE STARTED THIS, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE -WE, THE UNITED STATES, WILL END IT!
As commander in chief of the United States Army and
Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always
will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against
us!
No matter how long it may take us to
overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous
might will win through to absolute victory.
I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make
it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
With confidence in our armed forces,
with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable
triumph -- so help us God.
Buckle up Japan - I have a special present for you, his name is General Douglas MacArthur!
PS - He absolutely loves war!
