How does one say FOAD in Japanese? Those bombs saved my father's life.

I suspect that EVEN SNOWFLAKES would have trouble apologizing to Japan if they were taught things like how the Japanese cut the limbs off of Western POWs in order to cook them (i.e., cannibalize them), but still kept them alive so that the rest of the ‘meat’ would not spoil in the steamy jungles of Asia, until they were hungry again.

Tojo didn’t want to surrender and was prepared to murder Hirohito if need be so he wouldn’t go on the radio.

Oh, ok. And will Japan acknowledge how they tortured and murdered Americans and Filipinos during the Bataan death march? Or how they violated the Geneva Conventions about torture of POWs with their bamboo shoots under fingernails? Up your ass, Nippon. Your country was savage, brutal and ruthless during WWII. At least the Germans were to some extent civilized. Kiss my American ass.

I googled “Society for Requiring the Admission of Historic Responsibility of the US Government for Dropping Atomic Bombs on Japan” and the only place it showed up was on this thread. I would have expected at least one other reference if they really existed. So it is neither the entire nation of Japan nor the government. At most it is a couple of Japanese kooks., or maybe even it was just made up by the Brits who wrote the source web article.

"The Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing."

--General (President) Ike Eisenhower

Was Ike lying - or was it...

The title is misleading. It’s not Japan, but some nutbags in Japan.

Someone who is not susceptible to carpal tunnel should list Japan’s atrocious war crimes of the 20th Century.

Hiroshima was intended to end the war quickly. Which it did.

You surprise attack, and you roll the dice. You accept the consequences of that choice.

JAPANESE peace campaigners are not the government, they are Japanese liberals

"...because it was a crime against humanity...

Basically the definition of war. Don't start one if you don't want the blow-back.

Before I tell the Japanese peace campaigners to take a hike, let's do a little review:

We didn't start the war, Japan did.

Review the actions of the Japanese army. They are perhaps the most barbaric army in modern history. The Nazis, the Soviets, the Turks are perhaps better known but there is no atrocity of war that Japan didn't commit.

Do you really think that Japan wouldn't have used nuclear weapons against us if Japan had developed it first?

President Truman's first responsibility was to save American lives. If President Truman had to kill Japanese in order to save Americans, then he had to make that hard call. The lives of those people are on the hands of the Emperor and/or Prime Minister who should have realized that the war was lost and further sacrifice was pointless.

Now, take a hike. Because this is a family forum I won't tell you what I would really say but it is a seven-letter, two-word phrase that begins and ends with "f".

Can you say "Bataan Death March", you slant-eyed bastards?

How about "Pearl Harbor"?

You messed with the bull, you got the horns.

The rape of NanKing. The bataan death march. experimentation on humans (POWs) that was as bad as anything Mengela ever did. Need I go on?

Dear Japan,

I have thought about your request that we call the dropping of atomic weapons on you a war crime. After careful consideration I have decided that you can just go f%ck yourselves.

Sincerely,
Nik Naym

“This indiscriminate mass killing should not be forgiven, because it was a crime against humanity,” it read, pointing to the 340,000 deaths from the bombings on August 6 and 9 in 1945.”

Manufactured fake news by a relatively small political faction in Japan. All part of the attack on Trump and America. Soros could have just as well written it. Next Merkel will demand reparations for the “bombing of Dresden” another war crime.

Is this fool willing to put the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the “Bataan Death March” on the top two spots on the list of ‘war crimes’?
