Yes, and raise it on December 7th with a squadron of Zeros flying overhead. However, you'd never see the Stars and Bars flying anywhere, or the British Union Jack, for that matter.
You'd be surprised. I was, when I saw German truckers with the Stars and Bars displayed as decals in the windshields of their cabs.
Ninurta-- I recall visiting Pearl Harbor and seeing the Japanese visitors chatter excitedly at the display showing one of their "Long Lance" torpedoes. What impressed me was seeing oil still leaking from the U.S.S. Arizona -- tomb of many of our sailors, and still "bleeding" after all these years.
