Happy Hiroshima Day!

[AZrailwhale]

We had the bomb

We were going to win anyway. Was is necessary to kill 100,000 civilians in Hiroshima and then kill 70,000 in Nagasaki a few days later?

Because the Japanese were still killing civilians, military a POWs all across Japan and the Asian mainland. Every day the war continued cost more innocent lives to Japanese aggression.

If the Japanese occupation troops were so benevolent, how come the Japanese are universally hated by the Koreans even today?

They are not.

The maniac was Dirty Harry Truman.

Don’t spend too much time accusing Democrats of war crimes now. Tell us what you would have done. Surrender 12/8/41 or send sternly worded messages of rebuke to Japan.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Yeah. Kill those defenseless women and children based on a lie. Too stupid.

They had been bombing Japan for many months. Destroyed all military installations, but somehow they missed this. So many Americans have become blood thirsty idiots. Think for a change.

There were a number of cities left intact. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just two. Both were military targets. Hiroshima was the IJN headquarters and a major navy base and Nagasaki was a major arsenal and Army base.

Overtures to surrender had been floated via the Russians and through Swiss envoys, but the bloodthirsty fdr rejected the notion out of hand.

The SOVIETS rejected the overtures. They were the chief proponents of the Unconditional Surrender policy decided at Yalta.

 

[Anathema]

Mass murdering defenseless civilians is a war crime.

The extinction of an entire nation or race is perfectly acceptable to protect the life of even a single American serviceman. To believe ANYTHING EKSE is Treason so far as I am concerned.

Totsl War is the ONLY acceptable form of War.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Would you feel the same way if that reasoning were turned against our nation?

The medical experiments on humans by Japan is what? Not worth stopping?

“A special project code-named Maruta used human beings for experiments. Test subjects were gathered from the surrounding population and were sometimes euphemistically referred to as "logs" (丸太, maruta), used in such contexts as "How many logs fell?". This term originated as a joke on the part of the staff because the official cover story for the facility given to the local authorities was that it was a lumber mill. However, in an account by a man who worked as a junior uniformed civilian employee of the Imperial Japanese Army in Unit 731, the project was internally called "Holzklotz", which is a German word for log.[17]In a further parallel, the corpses of "sacrificed" subjects were disposed of by incineration.[18]Researchers in Unit 731 also published some of their results in peer-reviewed journals, writing as though the research had been conducted on non-human primates called "Manchurian monkeys" or "long-tailed monkeys".”

If fdr had any interest in peace, the war might have ended BEFORE Okinawa.

To all intents and purpose the Japanese had lost the war after the Battle of Leyte Gulf. They were an island nation without a navy. But they didn't see it that way. The militarists who controlled Japan were convinced that if they killed enough Americans and spilled enough Japanese blood we would allow them to continue to rule the country and prepare for the next war.

 

[Weatherman2020]

BS. You believe in total war, yet think our leaders are moral and ethical. The empire has become a warmongering imperialist disaster. Mass murdering defenseless civilians is a war crime. Our corrupt government hung Germans and Japanese for this. Truman should have been hung too.

There were zero civilians in Japan. Every adult and child was trained to defend the homeland to the death.

Allied military planners faced a bitter truth as they planned for a possible invasion of Japan: there were no distinctions between soldiers and civilians.

The bloodthirsty fdr rejected the notion out of hand, thus strengthening the position of the hardliners in the Japanese government and undermining those who were considering offering the same terms of surrender that we eventually accepted anyway AFTER incinerating hundreds of thousands of civilians, and AFTER the terrible loss of US servicemen at Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other battles that might need not ever happened.

The Japanese government had been informed of the Yalta Decree that only unconditional surrender was acceptable to the Allies. Unconditional surrender was unacceptable to the Japanese government.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Gen. MacArthur disagrees with you. The terms that he informed fdr about turned out to be the very same as the ones we eventually accepted anyway.

No they weren't. We occupied Japan, we tried some of their leaders for war crimes, and we disarmed their military; none of which were in the UNOFFICIAL Japanese offer. The only thing that was in their proposal that we granted was leaving the Emperor on the throne and not charging him with war crimes. But we emasculated the Emperor and made him as powerless as the Prince of Monaco. We only did that as a convenience since as a figure head he made MacArthur's job easier. Mac became the new Japanese emperor in all but name.
