Remember that Obama, the Undocumented cryto-Islamic hater
of all things American, still has no birth certificate.

WHy?

What would a foreign born, non-citizen say about WWII that anyone would pay attention to? His prescience in Japan yapping about the bombings add confusion to that nation. But then that is what this mistake is all about: confusion, obfuscation, lying, bowing and scraping.

An excellent article. One other factoid; had there been an invasion of Japan, aside from the horrific casualties on both sides, the Soviet Union would have participated. And, their quid pro quo would have been the partition of Japan similar to what occurred with Germany. Who knows how that would have changed the future of Asia....

We should have killed every last one of them. They got off easy

If hussein was the pResident at the time he would have just sent them a note asking them politely to stop bombing us. Or he would have just surrendered.

Love the article. It’s spot on - the armchair quarterbacks who think they know better than those who were fighting total war in WW II need to shut their pie holes. It was a great blessing we developed the A-bombs when we did.

Further, nuclear weapons have been the greatest force for peace in history ever since. America needs to remain committed to a strong, effective nuclear arsenal. Russia and China certainly are.

0 is basically wrong on this entire issue - on par for most of his positions.

“Speak For Yourself, President Fail – I’m Not Sorry About Hiroshima”

We all know the President was like this, I blame the people that put him in office, shame, shame, on them and shun them.

If the war had continued into 1946 or 47 and Americans discovered we had a weapon to end the war and didn’t use it...well, there would have been tar and feathers at the White House.

They don’t do birth certificates and they don’t teach American history in muslim schools in Indonesia.

My 2 cents: His mission is to upset every apple cart in our country while in office and leave enormous problems to be fixed by the next president. No one in his media will ever hold him responsible when his preplanned fires break out.
He is part of a group of people who want to see this country on it’s knees and think that none of the destruction they are bringing will ever affect them.

The best thing about dropping the Bomb on Japan is how peace loving it made Japanese.

the Yalta agreement stipulated that Soviets would assist in the downfall of Japan within six months of Germany’s defeat.

if they had done that it is likely Japan would have been divided like Germany or Korea today.

the atomic bomb provided a way to quickly exclude the Russians from Japan totally.

if the Soviets had been in Tokyo is there any chance at all the emperor would not have been hung like the Czars?

The atomic bomb saved the emperor and prevented Japan from sharing Korea’s fate, a state of Affairs that endures today and probably still years from now.

Well unlike Korea, West Germany and East Germany were reunited in 1990 thanks to President Reagan

And imagine when Mao took over China, how eager he would have been to send troops to Japan to get their revenge.

I gotta say, Townhall has some impressive writers. This piece hits harder than the A-bomb did.

Well done, Mr. Schlichter.

..my dad told the story of how happy he felt when his transport ship passed under the Golden Gate bridge returning home from Asia when the war ended.

If those bombs had not been dropped, that ship would have been empty--if it returned at all...

“hung like the czars” Do you know something about that, or just Bolshevic propaganda?
