I can’t even begin to imagine...
Ooo, I know the answer/s to this!!
“I’ll take “Bush’s fault” for $1,000, Alex!”
or
“I’ll take “All America’s Fault” for $1,000, Alex!”
I would like to see the second page to see if this is a hit piece or not and we are bad Americans for ending WW-II. I won’t do their dance to get there.
I would have liked to read the rest of the article,
did they happen to mention that there was a WAR ON?
How does one survive a direct nuclear blast at ground zero and never suffer any lasting complications?
Next time, do not mess with AMERICA!
There, fixed it for him.
"atomic" bombs
Do people still laugh when children are taught to duck and cover in the event of a nuclear war? Whoops, we don’t teach those drills anymore because a nuclear exchange isn’t as likely.
Here’s a description of what an invasion of Japan would have involved:

Probably would have cost a million Americans.
And tens of millions of Japanese.
One word response: Nanking.
Japan started the war and we ended it, quite convincingly.
Become a useful idiot?
NEVER FORGET...
I thought this was going to be a one word article:
Dean's yell: Yeeeaaaaarggggh!!!
That's an out and out lie of ommission. The American Military had seen the civilian suicides/homicides by the thousands as entire families killed themselves with grenades or jumping off the Marpi Point cliffs of Saipan after that islands invasion. It wasn't just our military casualties our military was worried about.
Semper Fi,

Too bad he does not have a segment included of the brutality that caused the bomb to be dropped...
We’re gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam’s the guy who can do it
We’ll skin the streak of yellow from this sneaky little fellow
And he’ll think a cyclone hit him when he’s thru it
We’ll take the double crosser to the old woodshed
We’ll start on his bottom and go to his head
When we get thru with him he’ll wish that he was dead
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
We’re gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam’s the guy who can do it
The Japs and all their hooey will be changed into chop suey
And the rising sun will set when we get thru it
Their alibi for fighting is to save their face
For ancestors waiting in celestial space
We’ll kick their precious face down to the other place
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
We’re gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam’s the guy who can do it
We’ll murder Hirohito, massacre that slob Benito
Hang’em with that Shickle gruber when we’re thru it
We’ll search the highest mountain for the tallest tree
To build us a hanging post for the evil three
We’ll call in all our neighbors, let’em know their free
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
Assume for a moment that Japan had given up on August 5th. Yeah, yeah, I know... No way. But bear with me.
So assume that nu-cu-lar weapons were not used in order to end WWII and the effects of the first bombs were not on display for the world to see and be rightfully horrified by.
It seems (seeeemmmsss...) to me that it would now be much more likely that a more advanced weapon with a larger yield would eventually have been used elsewhere by someone else or another.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the use of early atom bombs provided a graphic enough example of the effects that made the further use of said weapons less acceptable and therefore less likely.
Just my $0.02.
