As a former Marine, speaking on behalf of those Marines that died at Pearl Harbor, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and other battles across the Pacific for a war the Japs started...hey, " don't start none if you don't want none." Should of dropped 10 bombs on the sonsabitches.

A "former Marine" with an ounce of historical perspective and a book or two might conclude that the FDR administration set up the Marines on Iwo Jima.
On Aug. 5, 1945, the first atomic bomb ever used in warfare, was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Approx. 40,000 people died in Hiroshima that day, with as many as 60,000 more dying over the next year from injuries, disease, radiation etc. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, with similar casualties.
Analysts estimate that the abrupt end of the war caused by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, saved approx. 500,000 American casualties, and a million or more Japanese casualties, that would otherwise have occurred in the planned invasion of the Japanese home islands.
Quite a few of us wouldn't have been born if Truman had to go ahead with a conventional invasion of Japan.
They brought it on themselves.
Yamamoto himself realized it too late that they royally fucked up by dragging us into the war.
Learn some history. Yamamoto was against war with the US from the gitgo. He had seen and understood the industrial might of the US.

69 is my favorite number.
On this day, sixty-nine years ago, LeMay and friends dropped a nuclear device on a city that it specifically saved from bombing so it could send hundreds of technical people in later to examine the blast effects and build better bombs.
Now that's planning ahead!
Imagine Lemay taking orders from pip squeak Obabble...

Yamamoto was against a protracted war with the US. He did, however, push and plan the Pearl Harbor attack. That supports my statement.
