Japan marks 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings

Don't start none, won't be none.

Capice?

Turn the other cheek - Jesus.

When the U.S. forces invaded Okinawa, which is the smallest and least populated of the 5 islands that make up the country of Japan, we had 49,000 casualties of which 12,000 were killed.
Japanese soldier's rarely surrendered and fought to death. Plus the entire Japanese civilian population, every man, woman, and child, was being trained on the main islands to attack and kill American soldiers using sharpened sticks, kitchen knives, and metal garden tools.
The U.S. military commanders estimated we would have between a million to two million American soldier casualties, and many more millions of Japanese citizens killed when we invaded Japan.
So yes, the dropping of the two atomic bombs saved millions of lives. ...

You are a great American

I'm not a friend of nukes. I'm also not a friend of viruses sent into populations. Or, torturing P.O.Ws, killing men who are surrendering or using citizens as concubines.

Japanese soldiers of the Second World War were the most vicious and unforgiving. The Chinese still hate them to this day with good reason. Not only for what they did to their citizens and women, but also the brutality of what the Japanese did to their soldiers.

I saw a U.S vet doing an interview and he had kept a photo stolen from a dead Japanese soldier. It was in pristine condition. It was a photo of Japanese soldiers who had tied up many Chinese soldiers each to their own pole. On the ground were a number of heads from some of the now headless bodies hanging.

They used these poor Chinese P.O.Ws as a testing ground for their swords to make sure they were sharp enough before they went out to battle. Some were still alive in the photo, waiting for their soon-to-be-realized fate. These were the more merciless method of killings, it was less torturous death than some Canadians experienced for sure.

I've seen videos of American and Canadian vets who refused to meet with their Japanese rivals when WWII soldiers came together so many decades later in a peacetime gesture. They'd meet the Germans or Italians, few of them were interested in meeting the Japanese. Staunchly against it in many circumstances.

I recommend you watch some of the vets who are still around who tell their stories. To a man, they killed the Japanese soldiers without a seconds notice as they feared being taken captive by them more than death. Truly.

I've heard many of these brave men speak of pride in killing the Japanese, none of them regretting doing what they had to do. They knew it was kill, die, or be tortured.

Jesus was super-clear.

As was Ike, and Einstein.

Japan marks 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings​

Glad we could oblige.

Our regards to the Emperor.

Is that what He did when He took whips to the moneychangers in the temple?

Eisenhower was in europe not the far east

The US military training for the invasion loved the bombs that dropped on japan

As I said, some people are all for mass murder & war crimes, and some aren't.

Tomato, tomato.

STFU about Jesus. You have no idea what you're talking about.

So you support bin Laden taking down the Twin Towers on 9/11?

If he had gone after the Empire State & Chrysler Building, many thousands more would have died.

That's your logic, right?

LeMay’s incendiary bombing raids incinerated way more than the 2 nukes did. Many Japanese buildings were made of wood which exacerbated the impact of those raids.
2 nuke bombings were more humane than more fire bombings and the inevitable invasion of Japan.
Interesting that CCP must have followed LeMay’s Cuban missile crisis philosophy when China unleashed their bio weapon. LeMay was convinced the soviets would do nothing if we bombed the Cuban nuke sites. We’ve done nothing in response to china’s bio attack.

See comment above re: bin Laden.

You're saying that the atomic terror attacks were humane & necessary to prevent other terror attacks we would have committed.

By your logic, bin Laden was a hero for not going after more civilian-heavy areas.

Who knew we had so many bin Laden fans here?

Was it?

The pro-terror logic I'm seeing here is pretty twisted, so you tell me.

The atomic bombs probably saved lives, including japanese

One of us is all twisted up in knots to be sure...

So you're saying you think bin Laden's a hero because he could have killed way more people on 9/11, but didn't?

His people could have gone after a packed arena & killed 60 thousand or so, but settled for the much lower body count they did.

The pro-terror stance here is quite incredible, I must say.

You’re babbling nonsense

the topic is japan

if you cant discuss that stop wasting my time

 

[blackhawk]

Here is a little known fact after the second atomic bomb was dropped and Emperor Hirohito finally agreed to surrender some in Japans military launched a coup attempt and tried to overthrow him and destroy the recording he made announcing Japans surrender. If some would try that even after the use of two atomic bombs the odds of them surrending to avoid an invasion of Japan it's self which would have happened without the use of the atomic bombs were slim and none.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

After both bombs were dropped, Japan surrendered unconditionally just a few days later.
Two bombs, and the war was over.

Are you Chinese?
