Happy Hiroshima Day!

[harmonica]

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

bullshit .....even after both bombs, the vote to surrender was tied ......

 

[Unkotare]

gipper wrong..it SAVED more lives than if we had to invade

Speculation.

 

[harmonica]

gipper we are not an imperialistic country

 

[harmonica]

LOL. Why did we need to invade, conquer,and occupy? No need at all, unless you are an imperialist. Iwo was a total waste. Entirely unnecessary, but it’s no use.

why>?????? gee--there was something going on called ---------------------------WW2!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH

Some times extreme measures are necessary to get the Japanese to build a better car than General Motors.

...they were contributing to the war effort--just like Dresden was in Germany

Weatherman2020 even AFTER the bombs, the vote to surrender was tied--then after the Emperor broke the tie, they tried to stop the surrender

 

[Unkotare]

bullshit ..... ......

Tell that to MacArthur. He wrote fdr a 47 page letter about it. fdr threw the letter in the garbage (much the same way he considered the Constitution and the lives of US servicemen).

ok, let's just quit after Okinawa, and let the Japanese not even have a cease fire--so SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...and then it's like 1939 all over----Germans never gave unconditional surrender after WW1, and you get WW2

 

[Unkotare]

I wonder if those posting here who are just thrilled about atomic bombings ever gave one thought to the American POWs killed when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

 

[Unkotare]

ok, let's just quit after Okinawa, .....

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

You are the one who doesn't seem to understand what I have posted. You claim to have been "reading and researching," but it sure doesn't seem that way.

But they didn't do it, did they?

They didn't do what they had to do to keep from being nuked, did they?

When the sonofabitches fought almost to the last man at Okinawa then they pretty well sent the message they weren't going to accept unconditional surrender, didn't they?

All they had to do was surrender and they didn't do it. They knew they were going to lose but they fiddle farted around. They waited too long, didn't they? They got their asses nuked.

Flash thank you==plain and simple--common sense
