Had there not been a Pearl Harbor there would have never been a Hiroshima.
Thank God that our country was not ruled by such pussies as Kerry and Obama in 1941 or we’d all be speaking German or Japanese.
There’s only one question left - OK maybe two.
Why hasn’t Obama been impeached yet?
And when will Obama be impeached?
Remove this Enemy in Chief!!! Now!!!
This Country is in such a mess. And it isn’t all obuma’s fault, a lot is but there is a lot of blame to go around...GHWB, Clinton, Clinton, GWB, GWB, Obuma and the Senate and the House...
And we have how much longer of this embarrassing jackass running around the world kissing butt????
My dad was an officer in the First Calvary Division and was staged just off the coast of Japan as part of the invasion force. Estimates at the time called for 1 million American casualties in a full scale invasion of Japan. He never would have survived with his battalion of armor and thanks to Harry Truman, lived to the respectable age of 86.
It is a reminder of the depth of the obligation every one of us in public life carries to create and pursue a world free from nuclear weapons.
Kerry dishonor’s our country and the thousands, like my dad, who fought in the Pacific and were all, to the man, thankfully rejoicing that they would NOT have to invade Japan with boots on the ground. Because every knew that would have been a bloodbath 10 times worse than Hiroshima.
We needed an all out, no holds barred, strategy to beat the Axis. That includes the nukes.
Besides I'd rather he would be sentenced to Leavenworth prison for 100 years plus
If you start to feel sorry for the Japanese, just read their history.
That will change your mind.
We are sorry their bushido crazed military government decided attacking and brutalizing all their (inferior) Asian neighbors, and driving white people (Americans, Australians, British, Dutch, and French) out of the Pacific, was a good idea. And we’re really sorry it took two atomic detonations and the fire bombing of every town and city in their tiny country to convince them to surrender. Other than that, the people who deserve a real apology are the millions of raped, beaten, and dead they left in their wake.
“badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs.”
This is a shame in its own right, but again, we MUST ALWAYS ASK:
“Is it us, or them?”
Sometimes, you HAVE TO make the choice between 2 parties. And that choice basically is, “who is better?”
We’d probably be a split nation ala The Man In The High Castle.
Yup.
And how many Japanese civilians might have died? Many times those who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Constant bombing, months long blockades of the islands, mass starvation. And the Japanese were dug in and prepared to fight to the death.
Obama is a short sighted fool.
“Had there not been a Pearl Harbor there would have never been a Hiroshima.”
We would still have been drawn in.
We broke the Japanese code. We new that the Japanese were not planning to surrender.
They also estimated about 5 million Japanese casualties overthe years it would have taken, conventionally.
Think of those millions left alive because of those two bombs.
Karma is a biatch - those torpedo’s used at Pearl Harbor? They were built in Nagasaki.
Its just about time to wipe the slate clean and start again.
If we nuke Mecca, the Japs will STFU for another 50 or 60 years.
i hate obama....all of our men and women that died and that were wounded .my heart feels for their families
