Pearl Harbor Remembered

[Brakie]

I'm not much of a world history buff, but it would be interesting to know how many countries today consist of the actual ancestors of the original "citizens" of the "country". I would not be surprised to find that most do not, and that a little bit of "conquest" had occurred. As for the original inhabitants of North America, I don't think "their country" is the proper way to consdier it... the various tribes fought and killed each other for territory, each considered the territory to be "theirs" and "conquest" was occurring long before the Europeans arrived.

docWayne, your thought does certainly lead one to ponder our place in the grand scheme of things.

Gary,There was the Sioux,Cheyenne,Comanche and Kiowa was allies and the most feared of the plains indians..Their attack was swift and short.There game plan was for their enemy to chase them into a trap where the main force was waiting to pounce from all three sides and attacking from the rear would slam the door shut on any retreat while cutting off any reinforcements...Also knowing the "pony solders" guns would fire once they would attack in fast waves thus the hapless calvary was overwhelmed before they had a chance to reload..
