The truth about Truman’s bombing Japan

[pismoe]

the only acceptable way to fight a War is TOTAL War , --- just a comment .

------------------------------------------------ you sound like 'islamic state' or 'isis' as they at times look for Truces and the end of War and hostility when they are losing . Best thing to do when the enemy is losing is to Crush the enemy totally Gipper , [no quarter for the enemy Gipper]

Okinawa

One of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War was fought from April 1 to June 22, 1945, for the island of Okinawa. The Americans wanted the island at the southern tip of Japan to create a base for air raids on Japan as well as to “rehearse” for the planned invasion of Japan’s main islands. However, they met a fierce resistance. By June 22, the U.S. troops suffered nearly 50,000 casualties of which approximately one quarter were deaths. The Japanese, on the other hand, lost about 100,000 of 110,000 men. The largest amphibious campaign of the Pacific War also claimed heavy civilian casualties as an estimated 100,000 civilians were killed by the end of the campaign. According to many historians, the Battle of Okinawa had a major influence on the US decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as it clearly revealed that the invasion of Japan would claim huge casualties on both sides.

Right. The Japanese were all but helpless, only being able to inflict 50,000 American casualties in the last battle that they fought against us. I am sure that Gipper would have preferred to have had a go at them himself.

What a terrible waste, when the Japanese government sought surrender terms well before Okinawa. They only asked for guarantees that the Emperor wouldn’t be hung.

Funny thing...after Truman incinerated thousands of defenseless women and children in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, he granted the Japanese their one and only demand. Sick ****!

Thirdly, Okinawa was entirely unnecessary. The US air forces had been mass murdering Japanese civilians from the air for months beforehand, and could have easily continued the slaughter without Okinawa. Just another lie by the mass murdering statists.

Question for statists...was Okinawa used to launch the abombs?

Uncomfortable truths for silly murderous statists.

It's well documented that the military held out with those demands until the Emperor overrode them AFTER the Nagasaki bomb.

That you choose to ignore this, and proceed with a version of history that suits your axe to grind shows you are just as dishonest as the lefties on this board.

Japan knew of & expected serious retaliation for Pearl Harbor and I surely wouldn't call them defenseless.



I just don't think anyone expected such destruction

By 1945, they were a defenseless nation. Please keep up.

The battles on Iwo Jima and Okinawa were fought in 1945. The Japanese were not defenseless, but you are an idiot.

Both battles were entirely unnecessary. Japan asked for surrender terms when Stalin’s Stooge was still living. He said, “unconditional surrender you slanty eyed fuckers.” This resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths on both sides.

Amazing many Americans think this acceptable.

It just breaks my heart that we defeated Japan in WW2 at least 1 year sooner than an invasion would have ended the war, with casualties in the millions, counting both sides. I feel very guilty that we forced them to keep fighting even after warning them that to do so would bring about their total destruction. We should have asked them so surrender, using the word, "please".

Why do some Americans think total war is acceptable?

What are the options? Another war in 20-25 years or less. See WW-I.

Yeah... the only option is total war. LMFAO.

Well done! Dodging the issue!

Come on, step up!

Didn’t need to invade, unless you know that our corrupt leaders turned our nation into an imperialist nation.

Americans think this great too. Oh the power of a statist education (aka indoctrination) should not be overlooked.
