You have no idea because you don't really understand the culture, then or now. You are obviously stuck in manga-boy level of simple-minded generalisms. You are also obviously ignorant of the history of the period....So why people refuse to accept that most of the nation would have died fighting against hopeless odds rather than surrender, I have no idea.

Yes, that's right. The only term insisted upon as a deal-breaker was the retention of the emperor. Guess what Truman agreed to after incinerating hundreds of thousands of civilians anyway?...Yea, what Japan wanted was the same as what it accepted. .....
Read the whole thread, lazy dog....give us the exact text and reference to such a statement by anybody of importance in the Japanese Government where they made it known to others they were willing to give up.
He most certainly did. Have some self-respect and drop the fucking hero-worship. That blood-thirsty, racist, arrogant son of a bitch is not worth it....And no, FDR did not "reject"...
You have NEVER linked to any actual text of any of these supposed peace offers EVER.Read the whole thread, lazy dog....give us the exact text and reference to such a statement by anybody of importance in the Japanese Government where they made it known to others they were willing to give up.

The problem with your comment is that you fail to realize that Joe doesn't give a shit about actual history. All he cares about is trying to rewrite and then convincing people to believe is insane bullshit.The only problem with that often repeated quote is that the Japanese did not surrender."The Soviet attack changed all that," Charman said. "The leadership in Tokyo realized they had no hope now, and in that sense August Storm did have a greater effect on the Japanese decision to surrender than the dropping of the A-bombs."
Bwahahahahaha! "Ready". They didn't surrender, you limp-wristed beta male. You just can't comprehend that all males aren't submissive pussies like you. Japan didn't surrender. And they weren't going to. Until we dropped the bomb on their ass."William Leahy, President Truman’s Chief of Staff, wrote in his 1950 memoir I Was There that “the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan.

They were bad. But to drop a bomb on women and children and the elderly, I draw a line there, and I still hold it." "
... they weren't going to. Until we dropped the bomb ....
How about Dwight D Eisenhower? How about Admiral William Leahy?"Responding to a journalist's question in 1995 about what he would have done had he been in Truman's shoes, Joseph O'Donnell, a retired marine corps sergeant who served in the Pacific, answered that "we should have went after the military in Japan.
