You wouldn’t believe the BS that is taught in Jap schools about WWII. Total propaganda. Most Japs don’t even know about Pearl Harbor.
BTTT .....
And the white privilege crowd has company with the guilty american world view crowd
One Indy news site today has a sob story about a Japanese man who was badly burned in the blast who turned anti-nuke activist..
No mention of the atrocities committed by Japan and the reason for the bomb.
....or the rape of Nanking, Beheading and torture of POW’s.
Sure, by the pink panty putz crowd. Some of these idiots wouldn't even have been born if we hadn't done that...their ancestors would have been killed in the invasion of Japan! What MORONS!
Japan was allied with the Nazis in a war of world conquest that would have exterminated freedom and democracy across the globe if they were successful. The Japanese deliberately starved and slaughtered millions of civilians, they raped children and pregnant women, they forced families to have sex with each other for the fun of it, they tortured and experimented on prisoners of war — and then there was Pearl Harbor.
The b@$tards attacked us at Pearl on 12-7-1941. Everywhere we fought them in the Pacific they fought like hell and rarely surrendered costing many American lives. Truman did the right thing by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki as it saved thousands of American lives by avoiding an invasion of Japan. As it turned out it was the best thing that ever happened to Japan. We rebuilt them with taxpayer money and now they are one of the leading economies in the world.
IMNSHO, it was the Japanese Military that refused to surrender even after the FIRST drop, that has the blood on their hands.
Very honorable. Not.
And has anyone noticed that the Japanese have not rattled their sabres at us since?
Gee. Wouldn’t it be LOVELY to live in a world where your Enemies FEARED you and your Allies TRUSTED you? Think we’ll ever be there again? *SPIT*
Most Jap tourist get really upset when visiting Hawaii and going on the USS AZ tour. For many it is the first they ever heard of a sneak attack. They are taught they were the victims is WWII.
The “bomb”: Made in America, tested in Japan.
Appearantly 300 B-29’s visiting every day wasn’t enough.
It is also arguable that the bombs saved Japanese lives, likely over a million. If a conventional invasion had gone forward, many more Japanese would have died than did at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Anyone with knowledge of what happened in the fight for Okinawa understands this. The Japanese casualties, both military and civilian, were horrific, and the main home islands would have been Okinawa writ large.
Only ideologues and the historically ignorant think the bombs didn’t save lives.
I was at the Memorial this spring.
What I noticed was the complete lack of deference and decorum from the Japanese. The loud talking and selfies and laughter from them, on the Memorial, made me want to give them a piece of my mind.
But, I know that because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, my words were already spoken.
I agree that Hiroshima was justified but how are your examples a justification ? Pearl Harbor was a naval base. Good for them if they fought like hell wherever we attacked them. Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?
I’d hazard to guess that the estimated “one million Japanese lives saved” would translate to many many more in the 70 years since then. Why? Because if that 1 million had been sacrificed to hopeless defeat and death to end the war, they would not have “gone forth and multiplied.”
They got what they deserved. What they begged for.
It was true in 1865. It was true in 1945. The Japanese chose war, and having sown the wind they had nothing to complain about when they reaped the whirlwind.
