Howard Zinn is smiling in Hell.
Bullying?
In a bizarre twist, some of those who disapprove would not be here today if it had not been dropped.
Yeah. Prolly has a lot to do with this white guilt we’re being force fed.
Bottom line: japan attacked us first. We ended the war & saved millions of lives in doing so.
They wouldn’t want to fight them, either, which is the ironic part.
Dropping the bomb eliminated the need to do that.
Cuz they’re IDIOTS:
Yalta Agreement REQUIRED Stalin to be in on the conquest of the Japanese Home Islands WITHIN SIX MONTHS of Hitler’s fall.
ALL early intel suggested Stalin would NOT simply be a liberator of new lands, that HE WOULD STAY.
The atom bomb gave the USA a way to totally exclude the Soviets, thereby preserving the national sub-division fate that befell Germany, Korea and later Vietnam.
We would have had North Japan/South Japan, much as Korea today.
The Japanese accepted defeat cuz they knew the Soviets would HANG their Emperor, much as they’d earlier killed the Czar and his family.
NOTE:
The ONLY land Japan lost that is STILL lost to them was lost to the Soviets —two islands near Hokkaido.
They kept their Emperor and avoided being subdivided.
IDIOTS.
The mass ignorance in this nation is staggering.
Everyone should read “Downfall” by Richard Frank.
Pathetic.
Well then I suppose we should retrograde back to 1945 and say “Hey, just a goldurn minit here” .... right?
This leads me to believe, personally, that eventually our planet will self destruct due to extraordinary ignorance.
These same ass holes don’t know enough history to answer the question in the 1st place. Theres a need for rules. Rule #1...do you know the circumstances as to why the bomb was dropped in the 1st place?
I wonder why? Could it be because the communist manifesto has been followed to make sure our schools don’t teach history anymore - other than to make America the bad guys?
My father was an infantryman about to be sent to the Pacific theater for the impending invasion of Japan. Because Truman ordered the atomic bombings, the Japs surrendered. I’m here for that reason alone.
Pardon me if I don’t join this “plurality”. Today’s Japanese think WWII began on August 6, 1945. More than a billion Chinese will strenuously disagree.
Ironically, a significant portion of that same plurality would not be here to disapprove had the bombs not been dropped. They would never have been born due to the wartime deaths of their fathers/grandfathers.
They are inhumane morons...
That’s just native stupidity supercharged by overpaid so called educators.
And this is why you have an idiotic community organizer elected twice....my father was also awaiting to be shipped to the pacific after 4 years in Europe. This action by Truman likely saved his life.
