“It said General Douglas MacArthur and other commanders estimated a maximum of 66,000 casualties, a quarter of them fatal”

Better 340000 of theirs than even one of ours. Be careful who you launch sneak attacks against to start a war

The way I see it Japan owes us an apology for “war crimes” and a thank you.

Apologize for starting a World War II, and call it a “war crime” for what you did to China... Cities like Nanking where you massacred everyone including bayoneting babies, rapping and killing women, sex slaves, and the rest of Asia for the slaughter YOU STARTED Japan in Asia.

Apologize for attacking Pearl Harbor too along with your alliance with Nazi Germany and Mussolini in Italy. Appoligize for treating our P.O.W. like $hit. For instance, the March of Bataan, the starvation, the beatings, the torture, and the chopping off heads. Yeah we have not forgot Japan.

Japan you started the war and lost. You gambled and you lost. We saved not only American lives but Japanese lives by ending the war early.

During World War II if the U.S. invaded from the South. The Soviet Union was invading from the North, and they would have killed off most of your population and raped your women too.

If anything should be said Japan, then you should thank the USA for Atomizing 2 of your cities, sparing your evil a$$, and ending the war early.

It’s not the official policy of Japan. Lying headline.

>Also saved at least half of Japan from Soviet occupation.

Maybe THAT”S why they don’t like them.

>>A combined waste of 32 years of American potential in that pic.

The waste goes back further than 32 years.

The fact that Ike seems to be telling the truth - in 1961 can not be ignored.

Quite the club... they made for themselves, over the years.

Pull back the curtain.  Jail the instigating wizards of war and faggotry - and get on with rebooting the Republic.

[It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.]

This appears to be SNOWFLAKES in Japan, not the government.

In the fall of 1986, I had the opportunity during meetings at Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Station, Japan, to visit Ground Zero and museum and Memorial sites at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My uncle, Army Corp of Engineers, Lt-Col William Owen Evans, had been one of the first to enter and assess impact at these sites. I had heard many discussions of his visits as a child. My visit observations do not support or validate the use of the nukes to end the war, nor do they support further need for additional forgiving from the USA. Bad actions and decisions were made on both sides. The use of nukes has led to a worldwide activation of potential unneeded destruction by many governments.

I don’t think it was a war crime. The war criminals all worked for the Emperor.

“Those bombs saved my father’s life.”
__________________________________________

Mine as well. My father just started landing craft school when the bombs were dropped.

When will Japan accept responsibility for the rape of Nanking, China, which killed 200,000 people?

What about the Korean women who were forced to be “comfort women” by the Japanese, aka prostitutes?

Prior to dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Army Air Corp had absolute control of the sky over Japan. We had burned most of there cities to the ground. Before we would have put one army boot on the ground we would have continued this for months. We would have destroyed them and hunger and disease would have killed many times more than our atomic bombs, actually millions. In Fact Japan would have been rendered an extinct nation devoid of culture and hope. They would have been essential gone.

The atomic bomb “gave face” to the emperor to sue for peace to the military war lords. Even before the bomb they knew the War was lost but were determined to fight on due to saving face.

The atomic bomb actually saved Japan. If we had of taken Japan via conventional warfare our losses would have been horrific. What we would have done in retaliation for these losses would have been beyond horrific and most justified.

Japanese should get down on their knees and bless what we did at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If not that nation would no longer exist in its present form. If we were really feeling angry we could have given them to the Chinese or Koreans. That would have been really ugly.

And the fuel for the planes that Japan used were fueled by the oil sold to Japan-——by the USA.

Those two nukes ended the war and saved more Jap lives, than American lives.

Hardly a ‘war crime,’ to save enemy lives.
