But it is a great quote!

And while researching the quote, I came across this depressing fact.

Japan logs record 150,000 new COVID-19 cases as Tokyo and Osaka both top 20,000.
“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” (goodreads)

There is some controversy about whether or not Admiral Yamamoto actually said that, but it is eminently possible considering his experience in America. He knew the culture, which is why in my opinion he so strongly advocated not going to war with America in the first place.
