You should read up on Operation Downfall. The proposed invasion of the Japanese mainland. Conservative estimates had 200,000 US casualties and 5 million Japanese dead.

The Greatest Hoax In American History: Japan’s Alleged Willingness to Surrender During the Final Months of World War II | History News Network

If anything, that was conservative...and didn't account for the certain mass famine that winter. Just the Army was expecting more than 1000 casualties per day. It also didn't account for the fact that all Allied POWs were to be killed in the event of an invasion.

Propaganda designed to cover up Truman’s war crime.

Did you ever ask yourself, why do we need to invade?

Because they would not fucking surrender.

Japan was defeated. It had no defense from air attacks that occurred in daylight every day and it's navy no longer existed as a viable force. The Bushido holdouts were desperately trying to negotiate reasonable surrender terms that included not executing the Emperor but the only president not to have graduated from college and president for about four months didn't have a freaking clue. The eggheads were dying to use their device and Truman gave the O.K.

The only terms they deserved were, "If you ask really nicely, we will not wipe you out to the last man, woman, and child." Note that even AFTER the two atomic bombs, surrendering damn near got Hirohito assassinated!

They tried to surrender numerous times, but unconditional surrender allows blood thirsty Americans like you to think mass murdering defenseless women and children is admirable.

And yet somehow we think we have the god given right to tell other nations they are not allowed to have such weapons when we are the only nation to ever use one.

Yeah, we have them, but don't use them. But when Iran gets one they WILL use it.

A moron can see the difference.

So why can't you?

Had Japan's warlords "effectively ended" their efforts, the Fat Man would not have been used. Even after Nagasaki was destroyed, they still refused to surrender and their excuse was they wanted to protect the Mikado. Then HE delivered a speech surrendering and they had no way to deny the act.

Admirals Nimitz and Leahy, along with General Eisenhower were in agreement that Japan would surrender before November and there was no reason to drop a nuke. Invasion for what? They no longer had a military that was a threat to anybody. We`ve all seen the news clip of Japanese committing suicide rather than surrender but that was years before we began bombing the hell out of Japan.

 

[Godboy]

Yeah America is so great when it massacres defenseless women and children of a nation trying to surrender. We are so proud!

They were great the day that they dropped the bomb on Japan, thats for fuck sure. Get your weak ass "innocent women and children" argument out of my face. If your idiot ass had been in charge at the time, we would all be wearing swastikas today. Just shut up, retard. Go away and take your child like thoughts with you.

Your post is dumb and untrue. Just cuz 3 dudes had an opinion about something, doesnt mean its true. Most people in Washington thought the bomb was absolutely necessary, and historians agree with them.

Yeah, we have them, but don't use them. But when Iran gets one they WILL use it.

Uhhh....clearly we do use them or there would not be this thread.

Also, we were told the exact same thing about NK, that they would use them or sell them to terrorist once they had them. Here we are almost 2 decades later and that prediction of doom has failed.

You aren’t thinking. Japan was trying to surrender and was essentially defenseless. Why drop those two bombs, unless you’re a racist fool trying to impress the Soviets?

He never learns. Whatever the neocons and war profiteers tell him he believes. Sadly there are many Americans just as duped as he is.

Stop posting. You know nothing. You’ve failed to educate yourself on this topic, other than what you were told by the government approved textbook in third grade.

You aren’t even smarter than a third grader.

They werent surrenduring! Thats the whole reason why we dropped the nukes. After dropping one nuke, we contacted Japan and they still refused to surrender. Do you know why? Because Japan didnt think we had 2. After we dropped the second one we bluffed them and told them to expect a third nuke. Thats when they finally surrendured.

Its amazing to me that anyone wouldnt already know these basic facts about WW2.

We used them to stop a war. And they worked.

Why you are denying basic history, i will never understand.

Yes it did stop a war that was essentially over, this much is true.

Yet we to this day remain the only nation to ever use them and we think we have the moral authority to tell other countries they cannot have them.
