What a moron, Kerry apparently hasn’t got a clue as to how many more lives, Japanese and American would have been lost if the BOMBS weren’t dropped.

The Japanese were not shy about bombing civilians in Shanghai or anywhere else.

As Lord Mountbatten said, “the decision to use atomic weapons was made in a total war context and it has never been viewed that way since.”

For those who cry “racism” at the use of the a-bomb one only needs to look toward the similar treatment of white Europeans in the fire bombings of Hamburg, Dresden, Cologne, and other German cities with cumulative death tolls close to those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was war and we fought to win.

If the firebombing of Tokyo (killing over 100,000) couldn’t convince them to surrender, only nuclear detonations could have. An invasion of Japan would’ve killed millions. Dropping Little Boy and Fat man was a tactical and moral imperative.

Well, at least Kerry did more than his share of work in making sure that America DIDN’T win in Vietnam.

There is, literally, no point of comparison between today’s America and the nation that won WW2.

[[“haunting displays [of] photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs.” “It is a stunning display. It is a gut-wrenching display,” explained Kerry. ]]

More horrific than the maritime personnel that had their skin melted off alive in perl harbor?

Flashback 2009: Trump giving his support to the traitor-in-chief on his 2009 world apology tour...

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

What these America-hating sons o' bitches don't realize (meaning Obama, Kerry and their Communist fellow travelers) is that Japan came within a hairsbreadth of having THEIR atomic bomb ready before the U.S.

Very few people know that the Japanese actually detonated an atomic device, this was documented by U.S. reporter and author David Snell, and the following documentary is well worth watching in my opinion:

My old man served on a destroyer in the Pacific all through the war. He was at every major carrier v carrier battle in the Pacific. I better visit the cemetery today and see if he's crawled out of his grave to go choke Kerry to death.

You know, kids who grew up in the 50s weren't all that distant from the events and most who have fathers that were in combat can recall the look their old man got when anyone asked them about the war. Up until the early sixties, my Dad would hop up at night screaming for someone to help him carry a guy who was badly burned and falling apart as my Dad tried to move him away from the fire or yelling at people to "shut the Eff up pass the GD ammo" and to ignore some sort of malfunction in the turret.

Given the chance, the Japanese would have gone down fighting hard with bricks and sticks if nothing else and the distinction between civilian and military would have vanished within days of the invasion.

Saving a few million lives may not mean much to people like Kerry who think killing a half million here and a quarter million there with conventional bombing is no big deal, but it had a great deal of meaning for those who know they survived and probably wouldn't have had there been an invasion of Japan.

Poor Japanese, their government bought atomic secrets and uranium from Nazis to use on us, practiced biological weapons on Chinese to use on us - we just beat them to the punch and punch we did. Game over.

My dad and millions of Americans lived beyond the war because Japanese died of nuclear radiation. I prefer it that way.

Now, the remaining are our ally - and Obama is not.

[Reuters reports that he had witnessed “haunting displays [of] photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs.”]

Where is KERRY’S compassion towards the ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Middle East. THAT, Mr. Kerry, is going on now. Where is your concern?
