‘Virtually all of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers tasked with defending the rugged, volcanic crag were killed in the battle....’
The Japanese fought until the very end on Iwo Jima and would have done the SAME thing on Japan.
Now we know why Harry Truman dropped both A-Bombs.
It saved both US lives and Japanese lives but the left never gets this historical point.
that’s because those on the left cannot conceive of fighting for anything
well, except for the right to kill unborn AMERICAN babies...
(still waiting for the story about researchers ‘discovering’ the mass graves of dead American... babies. enough for 3,000 every day since roe v wade)
They don’t give a damn about the U.S.lives saved.

“Truman acted stupidly.”
It saved both US lives and Japanese lives but the left never gets this historical point.”
Using the 2 atomic weapons was a wonderful thing to do. It was one of the best decisions ever made by this country; I am very proud of anyone involved in the mission or decision.
I am so glad that the hundreds of thousands of US troops that were condemned to die in the invasion of Japan, were spared.
They were instead able to come home and become husbands, fathers, grandfathers, accountants, business owners, etc..
And the same for probably MILLIONS of Japanese.
