To Roosevelt

Mr. Roosevelt,

Have you forgotten proper grammar? It is very hard to understand what you are saying when you publish run-on sentences, compound sentences without coordinating conjunctions, and forget to capitalize "I"? The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a pinpoint execution of military tactics. Their perfect setup, surprise, and formation absolutely crippled your naval fleet. They had planned the mission for months, and it was your ignorance that was the deciding factor between being an American hero or a lying thug. I never said the Japanese will succeed in the Pacific, but that they will struggle. Nothing is a lie that I have spoken. Only a few know of Hitler's lies, and I am one of them. Also, the reasons for losing to Britain is due to inadequate training of pilots, shortage of raw materials needed to build functional aircraft, and Germany's indifferent attitude towards allowing supplies into the puny little island of the British. These things can be fixed. I'm afraid, however, that YOUR lying cannot be. So once again, I will ask you not to burden us with your problems or your erratic and indecipherable splurges of literacy.
