“and tell us Japan was on the verge of surrender.”

Yeah right. They were so close to surrender that they didn’t surrender after the Hiroshima bomb. We demanded unconditional surrender, they wouldn’t. The second bomb made them rethink

Nope. The first one wasn’t enough for ‘em. Harry T. then gave the sneaky Japs one more chance to quit, (imm. following bomb number one), with his: ....”If they do not now accept our terms, they can expect a rain of ruin from the air the likes never before seen on this earth”....GREAT speech. Still no uncle so.........BOMBS OVER TOKYO!!!!! (Remember that old saying?) They than had enough. I can’t stand these limp dicks who whine and snivel every August that it was wrong to finish the Japs off with Fat Man and Little Boy. Bull Crap. They started the damn war, the Mighty USA finished it. Case Closed.
