I know a Freeper who is slowly posting articles on the Okinawa campaign at the Chicago Boyz blog which are veering to a conclusion that the Japanese out-tech'ed the US Navy in that battle.
The USN never realized how the Japanese were breaking its IFF codes and monitoring American ground-based fighter-control radio traffic to get in surprise attacks on American ships. The Japanese also used long-range radar surveillance aircraft to the same purpose as well as to vector mass Kamikaze attacks.
They even had secret underwater cable communications between Okinawa and Kyushu which the US Marines did not break up until late in the Okinawa campaign.
Plus the Japanese Navy and Army cooperated quite effectively in the Okinawa campaign while US Navy parochialism and inter-service rivalry with the US Army (Navy refused to cooperate with the Army, and particularly with the Army Air Force) cost us thousands of lives and dozens of ships.
Japan's problem here was very limited engineering & construction resources. Their science and tech development was very high level.
They concealed this from American interrogators after the war, though some of this was due to the reluctance of US Navy interrogators to delve into embarrassing details concerning Okinawa.
There was a story about this on The History Channel, back when The History Channel actually had history.
Obama also ignores the fact that the USA is the only country or empire in the history of the world to have the world at its feet and not take it.
All developed countries that could be a threat to us were exhausted and running out of fuel and weapons by 1945. We could have taken whatever land or treasure we desired.
Instead we loan them money to rebuild.
Yeah, we suck.
Just think, we get to to enjoy another round of Hiroshima/a-bomb articles in another two months!
More to the point. They were making chemical bombs after experiementing on US POWs. I have seen the picture of depleted Iris Of PoWs after being exposed in military books.
Also Unit 731 was that of biological arsenal being built to destroy the Us, using Chinese peasants of all ages and sex for experiment
Both Germany and Japan had nuclear programs. If they had the bomb, they would have used it.
