Soliemani and Yamamota

In all the lamenting and defense about the killing of Iranian Gen. Soliemani, has there been mention of Yamamota?

Admiral isoroku Yamamoto, as commander of the Imperial Japanese Fleet, devised the plan and issued orders for the attack on Pearl Harbor and was responsible for the naval aspects of invading and capturing the Philippines, Dutch East India, Malaya, Singapore and Burma.

In 1943, USAAF P-38s shot down Yamamoto’s Betty on an island near Bougainville. Navy radio intercepts and decryption gave Yamamota’s trip itinerary, including time of arrival.

Soliemani’s itinerary was determined from intercepts or by someone who had access to his travel plans.

Both were legitimate military targets. The killings were no different than a sniper pulling a trigger.
