    Wreckage from a Japanese midget submarine sunk before the attack on Pearl
    Harbor is shown in an image from video after it was found Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2002,
    by researchers from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory, who stumbled across the
    vessel while doing training dives a few miles from Pearl Harbor. Discovery of the 78-foot
    submarine could provide the first physical evidence to back U.S. military assertions that it
    fired first against Japan in World War II and inflicted the first casualties.

    Why are they debating on who fired first? Why does it matter? We lost a lot of good men that day, I could care less who killed who first.

    Its the US military saying they got the first blow in. It appears they did. Good for them.

    Tell me about it. Who gives a rats ass who fired or who made the first kill? Like you said Sonny, alot of good people died that day which is much more important in recognizing, not who got the proverbial "first blow".

    Guys, not to sound pedantic, but this stuff is important. At least I think so. It's just a footnote in history, true, but it's there. It makes a more complete story, is all. I don't think anyone wants to hype up "first kill," but maybe, say, future historians might point to this sub and say it might have preceded the Japanese Zeroes to Pearl Harbor.
