bombs? I believe Bock's Car dropped the Nagasaki bomb. someone correct me if I am wrong.
One minor correction. The Enola Gay only dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Bockscar was the B-29 that dropped on Nagasaki.
If anyone says that the bomb shouldn't have been used then they should go talk to one of the soldiers, sailors or airmen who were to be part of the invasion force of Japan.
No historian can be taken seriously if he uses the term "Jap."
bttt
Next.
I used to ask my father, who is now 86 why he wouldn't own a Toyota. I would tell him that they made good trucks. He would always reply, "I still remember what those slant-eyed sons of....... did at Pearl Harbor." Over the years, I have grown to understand why he felt that way, though I harbor no ill will toward modern Japan. That is unless they start whining about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then I feel the need to remind them about Pearl Harbor. They started it. We finished it. They got what was coming to them.
And as for those hand-wringers, never let 'em forget just who the hell started the war.
the WW2 Japanese were like diabolical demon lemmings from Hell. Sometimes I wonder how much they have really changed , if given the chance...or perhaps China now takes the helm
in the Asiatic superiority complex?
Bring it on....
I knew an Iwo Jima Marine years ago at Ford Motor Company who retired rather than be forced to take an assignment where he would have to work closely with the Japanese. Anyone who wants a great read and stark insights on how these people thought and fought during that war might want to read "Flags of Our Fathers" by ? Bradley which is about the flag raising on Iwo Jima. They weren't going to quit and it would have taken tanker loads of our blood to defeat them. Truman had gonads as big as bowling balls, and I admire that Democrat for the decision to drop the bombs.
There were TWO B-29's involved the actual dropping of bombs...
Enola Gay on Hiroshima (bomb nicknamed "Little Boy")...
And Bock's Car over Nagasaki (bomb nicknamed "Fat Man")...
Minor error, but an error nonetheless....
