Peace on you too. You were war mongers bent on dominating half of the world. What did you do to the Chinese? What did you do in Indonesia? What did you do in SE Asia? What did you do to Pearl Harbor? What did you do to troops you captured and civilians whose towns you occupied? You made Hitler look like a weenie.
How many more Japanese would have died if we had continued on with conventional weapons? To the last man, woman and child was your doctrine. You reaped what you sowed. Stop the whining.
An interesting note almost forgotten..
Immediatly after the bombing of Hiro and Nag the US hit them with conventional bombs again. Killed thousands but no one remembers.
I learned this from a tv show on Okinawa in 1968 over AFRTS. The documentary showed the war but when the A-Bomb was shown being dropped the screen went blank so as not to offend anyone.
I don't think it's hard to size this guy up. We're supposedly a pariah state, but North Korea is just seeking insurance.
As hard as it is to fathem for those who attack other nations, 's' happens to those who do so.
The U.S. wasn't even in WWII until some panty-waste nation decided to attack it without provocation. Where's the tears for those who died at Pear Harbor?
The spinning by the camps of the evil never stops.
Ask the guys that fought at Iwo Jima and other places in the Pacific what they forsaw would be needed to conquer every inch of Japan. Recall the suicide missions and the oath the Japanese military swore to never give up and hold out to the last man.
Just remember, even the Hiroshima nuclear bomb did not convince Japan to surrender. When confronted with that measure of loss, Japanese leaders opted to refuse to capitulate, causing a second bomb to be dropped. How's that for clear and reasoned thinking? Doesn't that convince you that they were about ready to surrender anyway?
Spin, spin, spin, it's gone global.
remember pearl harbor?
I love Japan. I love Japanese culture and I have my fair share of Japanese friends.
With that said, Japan deserved what it got. It was a militant, imperialist power that attacked us and would have done the same, if not worse, had it had the chance to do so. Those bombs brought to an end a bloody war that the Japanese were foolish enough to start in the first place in their desire for conquest and power.
