A date that shall live in infamy !

I noticed a thread over in the SHIII forums which made me think "God, is it Dec 7th already?" and check the date on the computer calender.
Obviously it doesn't have the same tone over here as it does in the States, but it's still something that echoes throughout time as one of the most devastating military attacks that at the same time completely failed in its objective. It won't be long now, another two years in fact, before it's the 70th anniversary, seventy years and still the oil leaks from the Arizona, like a wound that will never heal, and for many veterans of that day, I guess that is the perfect analogy.
