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.

A direct result of the “dumbing down of America”...
Pure ignorance!
Slip Mahoney said the H-bomb was invented by a guy named, Hydrogen.
Hear hear, well said.
Actually it’s worse than that. Don’t you recall the exhibit on the Atomic Bomb at the Smithsonian?
It lyingly said that America would have never dropped the bomb on Germany.
Three generations of brainwashing in our fabulous public skools and a whole bunch of people who weren’t alive at the time and will never understand what the stakes were = limp wrested second guessing.
The bastards should all be forced to go fight for freedom. They will sing a different tune. Weak and cowardly.
See this weapon we have developed?
You DON'T want us to use it.
It was, of course ignored by the Japs.
Then came Hiroshima.
Even THAT didn't wake them up.
We had to drop a SECOND bomb before they realized the war was over, and they lost.
Why didn't the first bomb bring them to the table?
Nagasaki is completely on the hands of the Japanese.
Man, is the American public brainwashed.
Were they told that a Democrat President made the decision to drop the Atomic Bombs and that his Democrat predecessor put Japanese American Citizens into Concentration (Resettlement) Camps?
Probably because real history hasn’t been taught to the current generation. They don’t have a clue that we would likely have lost a million men storming the entrenched beaches of Japan.
Exactly....
Young people are not learning history ... and certainly not from a patriotic perspective.
Why is this even a question? Sounds like another history rewrite going on....
That is very true.
Well, we do have to think about who they asked. They always post this stuff...but strangely no one I know has ever received a call. Just more MSM BS....
