American Foreign Policy - from isolationism & neutrality to interventionism?

this is the first I have heard it expressed that way. Must be a regional thing or something.

Did you seriously call Pearl Harbor "relatively minor" ON Pearl Harbor day?

Not cool, bro. Not cool at all.

The person is not American, and did not mean offense. I doubt they know Pearl Harbor day in Ireland. I've never heard of it in Ohio.
And for the record, it was a relatively minor event in the grand scheme of the war, and the even grander scheme of life on planet Earth.

You never heard about Pearl Harbor Day in Ohio? That's not good. Doesn't say much for the schools there.

Actually some might say it was a major event in regards to WW2. As it was the precipitating event to get the U.S. into the war. Previous to that event the U.S. was doing its best to stay out of it.

But I'm sure there are people out there who would dispute that.

Seriously , Who the fuck calls Dec 7 "Pearl Harbor Day"? Its not a celebration for fucks sake. Are we calling Sept 11 "WTC Day" too?

It says "Pearl harbor remembrance day" on my school, desk and home calendar. Plus flags were at half mast Monday in memory of Pearl Harbor. So I guess we fucks call it Pearl Harbor day.

Yea no one goes around saying "happy pearl harbor day" but it's still referred to as pearl harbor day for short. Also I'm fairly certain September 11 was designated patriot day or something equally odd sounding.
