The Japanese were NOT innocent. They started the war. And I agree with President Truman the United States was not going to risk two million American lives on an invasion of the Japanese home islands when there was a faster - and more moral way - to drive home to the Japanese the senselessness of their continued resistance in the face of certain defeat.

I've been listening to the same crap ever since the War ended. Well, I love Truman's decision to drop those bombs.

Why?

One of my brothers was in the Pacific, cranking up his LST for the coming murderous invasion of the Japanese homeland; and both my other brother and I -- fresh from fighting one war in Europe -- were on orders to the Pacific to join in the fun.

So those gutless wonders who cry over whether or not dropping those wt bombs was necessary have nothing coming from me but utter contempt.

In the end, dropping the bombs saved even more Japanese lives.

Japan did not surrender after the 1st atomic bomb...

Gives you an indication of the mentality....Fight till the last civilian life is spent..

Lurker here ,gone public.
This is again a moonbat lie to justify their smug superiority over the rest of us.Japan was prepared to resist an invasion and had well equipped armies still in occupation of China , Manchuria and the rest of the Pacific rim.The home islands had held back waves of fighter planes,bombers,suicide boats and manned torpedoes.Ever seen the pictures of thousands of citizens,male,female ,young and old practicing with rifles,knives and bamboo spears?U.S. and allied casualties were projected into 100s of thousands if not more.Go look at this creep's site,his peace Dojo,the weirdos he associates with and his earth mother prayers.Loathsome treacle.
