Victims of the atomic bombings of Japan want an apology from US President Barack Obama

Well, they're certainly turning to the right man for the job.

The atomic bombing of Hiroshima not only saved countless American lives, it also saved countless Japanese lives that would have been lost in an American invasion. Asking for an apology for an act which ended the horrific war you started - what's the Japanese word for chutzpah?

I say go f%&* yourselves. Start a war with us and you got the inevitable consequences. Do you not think that if Japan or Germany had successfully created the same weapon, they would not have used it?

And I bet that China wants an apology from Japan for Imperial Japan’s war crimes against the Chinese.

At that point there was no real point to nuking Tokyo and Yokohama; they had already been burned to the ground by old-fashioned fire bombs.

There is a scene where they freeze womens arms solid in the Manchurian winter, then shatter them with hammers, or peel the flesh to bare bones with boiling water.

That was the directors daughter and she got frostbite filming them. Those scenes are real, she was holding the arms of a cadaver and acting like they were hers.
And the scene with the human placed in a vacuum chamber... words defy.
The Russian mother and baby. About 30% were Russian civilians captured in the east.

And yes, American POWs were sent there. It was like a German death camp, only you’ll never meet anyone with the tattoo. No inmate survived. Not a single one. The goal wasn’t extermination and numbers like the krauts, it was Dr. Mengele medical and scientific torture where the human beings were nothing but lab rats, all taken to an Asian extreme.

The Japanese say they cannot apologize because the can only apologize if both sides agree on the facts. They say that since only Japanese soldiers confessions are available, they cannot apologize. Since the victims all died, they cannot come to an agreement! And they dare ask for an apology.

That’s good to hear. But, where were the leaders? That is who needed their becquerel raised.

As a result of the second bomb, the Emperor imagined the sky filled with US bombers all equipped with these bombs (he had no idea that we had exhausted our supply).

We had one more bomb available after Nagasaki. Series production was starting up and we would have had one to two bombs per month beginning in September.

No apologies necessary. But Obama will certainly oblige.

Folks, you lived 71 years after the event.

Quit your bellyaching.

400,000 of our finest didn’t get the privilege.

BO will bow down and grovel for their approval. Maybe he can spit in Bibi’s face again while he is at it.

Oh, the reason some American POWs, and Russian civilians were sent to Unit 731?

Because they were doing “science”. You cannot be sure if your science is accurate unless you use all the human races you can get your hands on. You might only learn how the plague affects a Chinese body. They wanted to ensure their bioweapons would work on white peoples.

Absolutely correct. Our children aren’t taught history the way it happened, they are taught we are the guilty ones in everything since our founding.

What I don’t understand is why the same people who stand up for America in cases like this are the same ones driving Toyota’s and other Jap cars as well as BMW’s and other German cars. Take a look at Detroit today and realize you have PAID THE AXIS countries WELL for their ATROCITIES ALREADY!

Compare and contrast with how Russians commemorate VE-Day.

They hold military parades and people march with pictures of their relatives who fought in the War, it’s called the “Immortal Regiment”.

Say what you will about the Russians, but they remember their history and celebrate their victories and don’t apologize for winning.

If Pearl Harbor was not attacked, Hiroshima would be intact.

Do you know who planned obsolence was introduced by? And don’t bullshit me with anecdotal crap about your one Chevy that lasted since 1920.

Not if Mao had his way.

Dear Hiroshima survivors,

No apology - ever!

F-U!

(or in the event that cannot be properly translated, then I would say 'kiss my butt')

In fact, we demand that the Japanese people and their government, including the beloved emperor, fully acknowledge the atrocities their military visited on untold millions of civilians not to mention the various violations committed on prisoners of war.

So seriously, F-U!

Sincerely,

'Murica!

It’s good the Emperor survived; he was the one who decided to surrender.

The military leaders wanted to fight to the last man, woman and child.

Well, they picked the right (p)resident from whom to demand an apology. He’ll probably thow in a kowtow and fellatio while he’s at it.
