Remembering the truth about the atomic bombs in Japan: Understanding why it had to be done

Seventy-seven years ago Saturday, August 6, 1945, American servicemen in their airplane Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb, Little Boy, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, another group of American servicemen released Fat Man, another atomic bomb, over the Japanese city of Nagasaki.  As a result of this relatively peaceful display of American power, Japan unconditionally surrendered to the Americans on August 10, 1945.

"Relatively peaceful!" very unpeaceful lefty demonstrators will screech in harsh opposition, as they gather once again — e.g., here — to mourn the final chapter of the brutal war, while denouncing Americans as warmongers.

Our vigil will feature origami cranes in honor of hibakusha ("bomb-affected person") Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was just 2 years old during the bombing, and died from radiation effects 10 years later. Before her death, she took on a project of folding 1,000 paper cranes, which by tradition meant she would be granted a wish.

On August 6th, we'll share concrete actions toward a nuclear-free future[.]

Yes, "relatively peaceful," you unpeaceful so-called peace-lovers who ignore the ultimate sacrifice of so many others so you might live and continue to spout your — at best — deranged nonsense.

I remember Marshal intended to use A-Bombs to soften up the landing sites on Honshu. Radiation poisoning was so poorly understood I am glad that never happened.

Very interesting, thank you.
