U.S. Soccer Fans Tweeting Pearl Harbor Jokes Proves Twitter Needs A Screening Process For Idiots

Sometimes Twitter can bring out the idiots, and that was never more true than when The US Women’s National Team defeated Japan 5-2 in the 2015 Women’s World Cup. The victory sparked many to joke that the win was revenge for Pearl Harbor, referencing the Japanese surprise attack that forced the United States’ involvement in World War II. This is why we can’t have nice things, America.

Japan wishing they never bombed Pearl Harbor right about now…
