That statement is a perfect example of why liberal teachers are going to destroy the future.
In 1945 the World didn't have to depend on history teachers to tell them what would happen if you allowed an aggressive nation to not surrender. The Japanese will was not broken and they continued to develop new weapons and they had massive oil reserves even after they surrendered. Try getting your history from books written by someone who was there, not from someone who thinks his service to this country was spitting on US Soldiers.
Actually, I got much of my World War II history on the lap of an old relative who served in the South Pacific.
