A TERRIBLE RESOLVE: Today's the 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and, as always around this time, there's a goodly chance you can catch the brilliant 1970 movie Tora! Tora! Tora! If you have not watched this cast-of-thousands epic of late (or at all) you should be sure to do so. It's one of the best battle films you will ever see. That is, a movie that deigns simply to relay the history of part of a war without telegraphing for you -- the brain dead, morally tone deaf, non-SAG-member audience -- that war is in fact a bad thing.
Curiously, at least according to the Oracle of Wikipedia, the quote from Admiral Yamamoto was made up.
