You aren’t informed. The Japanese people had no input in their government’s actions. It was a tyrannical government. So murdering them, was clearly a war crime. Secondly, murdering defenseless civilians can’t ever be considered proper. America should be better than this, but it isn’t.
So it was the responsibility of America, not the emperor or his group to decide the war was not going well for the Japanese and Japan should surrender before any civilians are hurt. That's bunk. If they are capable of the deeds they did, they are capable of surrendering--as they did.
You are terribly slow or stupidily disingenuous. The American government committed an appalling war crime in it’s prosecution of the war against Japan. There is no excuse you can come up with, that changes this fact.
Yes, the Japanese were ruthless in their aactions, during the war. America should be better.
The Japanese were willing to surrender well before August 1945. Had we had honest leaders, thousands of lives would have been saved.
Link to a single surrender offer by the Japanese or admit you made it up.
Your repeated requests merely expose you as being uninformed. Now, will you be man enough to admit you are uninformed and apologize for your many insults? Admit that I am much smarter than you. I own you.
Read this...and keep in mind that the Japanese government made several other peace overtures through third parties. FDR and Truman clung to their idiotic “unconditional surrender “ terms, resulting in hundreds of thousands dying unnecessarily.
The Folly of War
In the event you aren’t man enough to admit your ignorance. Try this.
ATOMIC BOMBS: RACE HATRED AND MASS MURDER
On July 18, 1945, exactly 19 days before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, in his own handwritten diary, Harry S. Truman
wrote:
"Discussed
Manhattan (it is a success). Decided to
tell Stalin about it.
Stalin had told P.M. (Churchill) of telegram from Jap emperor asking for peace…"
This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Truman knew the Japanese emperor had accepted the terms for unconditional surrender three weeks before the atomic bomb was dropped. The term "Japs" was, of course, a racial slur against the Japanese in the 1940’s as much as it is today.
