Is secretary of war Stimson whose diaries are now public. It’s completely obvious however why some people refuse to acknowledge these types of things. Most of the wars that the US has engaged in were incited and had literally nothing to do with self defense. War was planned with japan as early as 1906. The war that the US incited with Spain was for the purpose of obtaining west pacific territory (the Philippines) which japan was eyeing in the late 1930’s. People are so gullible.The author he quotes as his source
War Plan Orange (commonly known as Plan Orange or just Orange) refers to a series of United States Joint Army and Navy Board war plans for dealing with a possible war with Japan during the years between the First and Second World Wars.
Informal studies as early as 1906 covered a number of possibilities, from basing at Gibraltar or Singapore[1] (an idea revived by the British before World War II)[2] to "a quick trans-Atlantic dash" to the Pacific.[3] The plan eventually adopted was conceived by Rear Admiral Raymond P. Rodgers in 1911.[4]
Almost nothing happens accidentally or by surprise.
