I have to agree with those who say the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved more lives than they killed. The firebombing of Tokyo killed more than the bombings of hamburg and Dresden together. Many more than the atomic bomb. If the atom bomb had not been used what was the alternative? More fire bombings? Starve Japan with the navy blockade. Invasion of Japan would have been much more bloody than invasion of Germany was.
Also American soldiers and Navy were still fighting the Japanese in Philipines and other battles as well as fighting kamikazes. American lives were being lost and more would be lost if not for the atom bomb. If the bomb had not been used and later the people discovered the war could have been ended fast with it and it was not used would political careers not be ruined?
You just admitted being uninformed. The bombs were unnecessary and a war crime. Japan was done. They were staving and incapable of any offensive action. They were also totally defenseless to aerial bombing.
Dirty Harry Truman should have been executed for this terrible war crime.
The American people deserve better leaders.
Explain the kamikazes. If you were informed you would know that after the war it was learned Japanese defenses were even stronger than America knew of. They were prepared for American invasion.
Lol. Kamikazes were minor. They were also a sign of desperation. You don’t know shit other than what the government has told you. Japan was starving and defenseless.
Truman made up the invasion 500,000 bs to cover his war crime. He did this AFTER he was getting criticism in the press for mass murdering defenseless starving women and children, with the bombs.
Why did we need to occupy Japan? Did that question ever occur to you. Don’t buy the propaganda.
