82 years ago today, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, officialling dragging US into WWII.
I've only seen 2 references in the news about it today.
I'm not that old and I grew up in the long shadow of WWII called the cold war.
Millenials are as far removed from WWII as I am from WWI yet I have the feeling that are as "connected" to WWII as I am to the Napoleonic Wars.

what passage of time is it okay to move on? should we perennially observe this event forever? Or is 82 years enough?
That’s a good question. I understand that it’s more important to me than to millennials.
Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it.
So I think that it’s all about the focus: today, a real newspaper or journalist could have written an article drawing parallelisms between this event that dragged US into WWII and the events going on today that could very well drag US into WWIII.
