“Asked why he had not anesthetized the prisoner before dissecting him, the farmer explained: “Vivisection should be done under normal circumstances. If we’d used anesthesia, that might have affected the body organs and blood vessels that we were examining. So we couldn’t have used anesthetic.” “
That is a problem we must engage. Really engage.
We lost 50,000 taking Okinawa. Project that!
Donald Trump’s uncle, Dr John Trump, worked on the Manhattan project, and was a professor at MIT. PhD on Physics.
As WAPo and the NYTimes continue to retell the lie, people begin to believe it is true.
They do not know history then. The US would have lost a least a million men trying to invade Japan. IF Japan was intent on surrendering they would have after the first bomb and not waited until after the second
NO DIFFERENT than our education system, AMERICA responsible for EVERYTHING wrong in the WORLD!!!! NEW WORLD ORDER at it’s BEST!!!! Indoctrinations of ALL YOUNG people!!! HOME SCHOOL ALL children Catholic Schools are even on board with this CRAP any more!!!!
Trump for President.
In the 1960’s, I had conversations with Nimrods who suggested that we should have dropped a “demonstration” bomb in order to reduce loss of life. That argument failed on two counts, both demonstrating their ignorance.
First, the U.S. was very early in their nuclear program and did not have the means to mass produce bombs. Nuclear bombs were a scarce commodity. Second, and most telling, was the rejoinder that if a demonstration would have been adequate, then why did the Japanese wait until after Nagasaki to surrender?
The bombs saved a half million American lives from an invasion of Japan and more than a million Japanese. None of which matters to Obama.
Uncle John developed Radar. Used by our troops but also in England . He work and received award from both England and the U.S.
He took a hiatus from medical radiation work to do this important military work. He returned to medical radiation after the war. Any one having Xray and radiation can thank Uncle John for his initial work. He was NOT directly involved in the Manhattan project.
Google John Trump
That's all I got. Yeah, it was terrible, but it saved a lot of Jap civilians from having to fight to the death. Basically, It saved Japan from total annihilation.
But the important thing, the ONLY important thing is that it saved a million or so US lives that would have been lost if we had to invade the mainland.
Hopefully, Japan has learned its' lesson about fighting wars of conquest.
The only B I ever got in grad school was from a professor whose pet project was demonstrating how Hiroshima was the American equivalent of Auschwitz. I refused to go along, wrote a (I still think, 25 years later) very cogent term paper completely destroying the analogy. He couldn’t refute my arguments, and he couldn’t fail me (it was 25 years ago; today profs would do it with impunity), so he gave me a B in the course without, IIRC, grading the paper. I wear the B as a badge of honor.
P.S. I spent my teen years in Japan, love Japanese culture, spent 30 years studying Japanese tea ceremony, and my screen name means “tea person” in Japanese. If anyone should oppose the bombing, I would be the one, but I have been to Hiroshima, and to much of the rest of Japan, and the only reason it is what it is today is because we stopped WWII short of an invasion of the home islands.
Less years of formal schooling but more real learning packed into those years.
Less mush pushed into their brains by leftist agents posing as teachers.
Stronger patriotism and national pride.
Learned there are such absolutes as right and wrong, good and bad.
Knew the differences between fact and feelings, science and wishes.
Emerged into adulthood much better equipped to make fact based judgements.
Ping to my post at #72...good ammunition. Check out the video at the link when you have time, forward it to people you know, use it to beat down idiots like Jon Stewart and nearly any other liberal.
Given what is coming down the pike regarding Obama and Hiroshima, this is very, very well done.
Smartest decision Truman ever made.
At the time Gen MacArthur was pushing for an invasion of Japan.
He wanted to be the Ike of the pacific because he *definitely* had political ambitions.
When Truman was given the projected casualty numbers for a land invasion he probably soiled his panties.
The casualties of an invasion of the Japanese mainland would have killed his political career and legacy.
The question was: kill a half million plus American troops and millions of Japanese in an invasion or kill an unknown number of Japanese with this untried super weapon?
The decision: kill an unknown number of Japanese and keep our side safe.
Truman made the right decision.
Anyone who doesn’t think so has no critical thinking abilities.
There are far too many bedwetters in America now who have no idea what TOTAL WAR means hence have no right to govern the country.
One thing is, karma works. Nagasaki was where the torpedo’s used at Pearl Harbor were manufactured. Payback is a b****h
See my link at post #72, Bill Whittle addresses that in a cogent, rational deconstruction.
Bill Whittle also addresses the liberal trope that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were cities that had no military value.
He also addresses the supposed lack of “warning” before the bombs dropped.
