An addendum to Larry’s item this morning, which correctly diagnosed Obama’s appearance in Hiroshima as a bit more apologetic than the White House wants observers to believe. If you come to the site of an act that ended four years of horrendous war and insist that a “moral revolution” is needed to ensure that such acts aren’t repeated, you’re obviously making a statement about the morality of that original act. If you want to protest guns, you don’t do it at a place where someone once used one to defend himself successfully from a threat. You do it at a site where one was used without justification, to murder.
But I digress. After decades of Americans defending Truman’s decision to drop the bomb, we’ve now had enough population churn to finally move the numbers. People who lived through the meat grinder of World War II are dying off, replaced by people who’ve never lived in a country that has a military draft, let alone one that might have placed them in the middle of a maelstrom like X-Day. Go figure that when Gallup polled the public in August 1945 on whether they approved of the development of the atomic bomb, fully 69 percent said yes. Fast-forward 71 years and here we are.

How many of those who disapprove would not be here today because their fathers or grandfathers would have died in the continued fighting?
Leftists would have memorials for the dead of an attack by a foreign power. They would not appreciate hitting back hard.
My A$$.
Products of America’s leftist globalist inculcation system.
How many of them stopped to think that they might not exist if their forefathers had to invade Japan in the absence of the A-Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
They should be thanking their lucky stars for Little Boy, Fat Man, the Enola Gay, Bock’s Car and their brave crews.
Certainly we didn’t have to worry about the Japs talking about being “Stabbed in the Back”, like the Germans did after WWI, which ultimately led to Hitler taking power.
They apparently haven’t noticed that we already did it.
Yeah, it would have been preferable for the US to kill 2,000,000+ (that’s TWO MILLION PLUS) Japanese in a ground campaign that also likely would have cost a half million American soldiers’ lives. Uh huh.
/SARC for the sarc blind
The snowflake generation is largely composed of morons. And frankly they deserve the misery that they are bringing on themselves.
This ia a surprise???
Given the buffoons we elect as POTUS, particularly the last two; a plurality of Americans couldn’t distinguish their ass from their elbow, even if you drew them pictures.
an a-bomb involved fission only.
an h-bomb involves fission first, and a femtosecond later, a fusion reaction and chain-reaction, making for a bomb 1,000 times stronger than an a-bomb. Technically it’s two explosions.
We dropped two a-bombs on Japan, no h-bombs.

Its time to have a national conversation about exterminating the CPUSA and their front groups.
Putin has the generic model down, just make a few examples of enemy leadership in Government and the Press and the rest will get the message that its time to slither back under the rocks they used to hide under or they might be next.
This is a battle for the survival of the United States as a primarily white judeo christian nation.
This attempt by the marxists to change the USA demographic vial legal and illegal immigration must FINALLY be neutralized with extreme prejudice.
COMMUNISTS RAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horsesh*t.
BULLSHITE
They need a time machine to go back to 1945. Their minds would change if they were going to be part of the 1946 invasion spearhead of Japan.
Count me in as being saved by the Bomb. My father, after having survived as an infantryman in the hedgerows, the breakout through France, the Hurtgen forest and the Bulge, was liberated from a POW camp and sent home to train the new meat for the grinder of Operation Olympic, and he was going to ship out with them.
When he and the other combat vets heard about the first bomb, he said they cheered and wept, not from grief but from joy and relief. Every one of them knew that invading Japan meant they were going to be killed or maimed.
It’s the schools - the text books are changing the facts of history or just omitting them.
the problem is that nowadays millions upon millions of people hear only revisionist b.s., if they bother to think at all about the topic
Just more liberal idiocy - no prudent, rational analysis is done by these folks. Just knee-jerk, immature, sophomoric mentality.
.... The concept of a "World War" has been lost on the newer generations. Popular opinion is shaped upon the conditions and belief system of the current societies with no concept of the way life and social political systems were structured in the past. Today's new generations are the dream targets of any failed con based philosophy from the past .... that are destined to spring up once again with a vengeance.
..... Remember the ominous warning .... "Those who do not learn from the past .... are doomed to repeat it" .... They are wise words .... however ... in order to learn from the past .... you must first be taught about it.
.... Our new generations are not been taught about the past. They are poised to repeat it all over again.
Unfortunately, this will be the "Time Masheen" of the future...
"We're gonna take you back, to the year 1939 when Charlie Chaplin and his nazi regime enslaved Europe and tried to take over the world... Narrator: ...But then an even greater force emerged, the "un"
"...and the "un" un-Nazied the world - forever. "
