Sun Tzu wrote that war is about deception. Some one in militarist Japan may have read that. Obviously didn't read the whole book. If they had they would have realised they had already lost when they attacked America in that way.
How were they going to do that deception? Paint over the rising sun with swastika?
It was a text book sneak attack and caught America unprepared, destroying most of its Pacific fleet. The Japanese did not try to conceal their identity.
Watch the clip below in which FDR declared war on Japan the next day.
His speech begins; " Yesterday, December 7 1941 is a date which will live in infamy-------"
