被迫作战论; 君国回来；徒子徒孙不少

Toshio Tamogami, a former chief of staff of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (ASDF), controversially claimed in a 2008 essay that?Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was a "trap" set by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt?to provoke the U.S. into World War II.?

Key Claims Regarding Pearl Harbor and WWII

• U.S. Provocation:?Tamogami argued that the U.S. had been harassing and containing Japan for the 20 years leading up to the attack, making war inevitable and forcing Japan's hand.
• Roosevelt's "Trap":?He asserted that President Roosevelt, having pledged not to go to war, needed to make it appear that Japan had fired the first shot to gain public support for U.S. entry into the conflict.
• Denial of Aggression:?His essay, which won a $30,000 prize in a private contest, broadly denied that Japan was an aggressor during World War II, instead portraying the country as a victim of a "propaganda narrative".
• Rejection of War Tribunals:?Tamogami also dismissed the legitimacy of the post-war Allied tribunals that convicted Japanese wartime leaders as war criminals, viewing them as "mind control" that continued to mislead the Japanese people.?
