Yeah, it was too bad we didn’t develop The Bomb sooner

And it's an even better thing that we got it first.

If the Japs had gotten the bomb, would they have set one off on an uninhabited island for a demonstration, as today's liberals would have had us do?

Or would they have found a way to deliver one to New York or DC?

I served with a legendary Marine, Lew Hirschman, who was put in charge of Jap prisoners. He marched them out of sight and shot them all. A furious Captain threatened to have him charged with murder. His response was precise: “I had friends on the Maryland and the Arizona. Don’t put me in charge of Jap prisoners, cause I’ll do it again.”

Not but admiration for the courage of these Indian soldiers for their steadfastness to the point of death.

ISIS is no different than the Japanese of WW2.

And they deserve the same solution.

“NOT” should be “nothing” in the previous post.

Perish the thought

However, how would they have delivered it to our shores?
