Former U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton is watching President Obamas upcoming visit to Hiroshima at weeks end with a keen eye. Mr. Obama is due to visit the Japanese city on Friday, the first president to do so since the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the site 70 years ago, by order of Harry Truman, a Democrat. Mr. Bolton, however, has already crafted his response to the visit: a public-service ad produced through the Foundation for American Security and Freedom, which focuses on national security issues here and abroad.
President Obama has made it his mission to apologize for American exceptionalism, which has damaged our reputation and standing throughout the world, says Mr. Bolton, who chairs the foundation. This ad reflects on the fearless and independent spirit of the American people and serves as a reminder that generations of American soldiers did not sacrifice their life in service to this country to have our president apologize for our greatness.

Good for Ambassador John Bolton for speaking out in defense of strength instead of weakness as 0bama does.

Obama does not speak for me or my deceased mother and father who were both World War II U.S. Navy veterans.

My folks weren’t in Pearl at that time but had friends who were. They never bought Japanese again in their lives. Ever.

Dear Mr. Trump:
Here’s your Vice President, right here: unabashed, unashamed, unapologetic Patriot John Bolton.

My next door neighbor and a colleague were both in the Navy
and stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. A friend of my parents joined the marines in about 1936 and was stationed in Hong Kong at the time of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese did not recognize diplomatic immunity for Mariner
who were part of the embassy detail. He spend the entire war in POW camps.

Truman saved far more Japanese lives than died in the two atomic bombs. The warlords had organized civilians into units of a virtually unarmed suicide militia. Not to mention the American and Japanese soldiers who were saved. Extrapolate from the Okinawa campaign and you would predict millions of deaths.
It was the right call. I have found FReepers who would not be here but for the bombs - they had fathers or grandfathers scheduled for the assault troops.

Hes from Hawaii (he claims). Has he visited Pearl Harbor?
More importantly, has the Japanese prime minister?
