"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." -Isoroku Yamamoto

This goes for enemies both foreign and domestic.

Advocates of gun rights often argue that in World War II Japan was deterred from invading the U.S. mainland by a fear of American citizens with guns in their closets. They frequently quote Japan’s Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto as saying: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
But this quote is unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it.

In that case, I said it. Whoever said it, the concept holds true as much today as it did 70 years ago.

But thank you for the correction, info assimilated.

I met the guy who shot Yamamoto's plane down.

Yeah, Right... he has sold his books about it at the WAC shows for years...no big deal

There were a couple of people who claimed to, the guy I met (Rex Barber?) passed away a few years back I think.
This was in Oregon 20 years ago. We had lunch with Saburo Sakai who gave me a zero pilot association scarf.

Seeing two veterans from opposing sides together decades later was interesting to observe.

I was wrong... the guy selling his book at WAC was the pilot that shot down "Pappy" Boyington
