The White House is trying to tamp down opposition from World War II veterans who view President Barack Obamas visit to Hiroshima as an apology for using the atomic bomb in Japan to end the war.

Tell them to get their apology from Hirohito, Tojo and Nagumo. Don’t ask me. I would have dropped the first bomb on the Imperial Palace, then gone around at night looking for lights to drop the rest on.
And when will the Koreans and Chinese apologize to the Japanese?
Don’t get me wrong; I have the highest respect for Japan and her people. Smart, hard working orderly and largely law abiding. But when it comes to World War 2, they were 100% in the wrong and noboby owes them an apology for anything that happened to them.
Queen Putt's Seppuku would be a good start...
He couldn't find Pearl Harbor with both hands and a map.
he’s going to hand out medals to the Japanese guards from the Bataan Death March
It completely disregards the logistics required for over water invasion
The German were stop from invading Britain by the English Channel... the same channel that frustrated Napoleon or the Spanish from going into Britain ( and Japan has a similar history of frustrating Invaders because of the “Water Gap” between China Mainland and Japan ...its what protected Japan from being invaded for two thousand years)
the allies to go back across the channel in 44 for the Normandy invasion required a massive build-up of Naval forces and sealift..it took years of Planning and Building
the US had built up even more massive forces Naval and sea lift for the planned invasion of Japan
Yet some people seem to think the Russians were magically going to be able to walk across water (or roll across water with tanks and supplies) having not spent anytime building up the type of forces for and over water invasion..... it's completely irrational... and defies any historical comparison...
Land armies throughout history have always been stymied by cross water invasions it requires a completely different military infrastructure to be built and the Russians had not built it because they had not needed it against the Germans
the Russians did not have the Navy or the sea lift capability to launch an over-watered invasion in force of Japan
the Russians would have dominated on the mainland but been stuck trying to go in Japan unless they hitched a ride from Uncle Sam's Navy into Japan...and the US Navy was going to be fully occupied transporting American forces and supplies for our planned invasion...in 45 the US held all the key navel military assets for any access to the Japanese Islands
Obama is honoring WWII veterans by making sure that perverts can pee right next to their granddaughters and great-granddaughters. Puke.
