I get it. The defense for using the most horrific weapon in history is that we were fighting the Japanese race.In your opinion. Sadly, when fighting war, you fight a country not a person. It is a bit different today, we do have precision weapons. Back then we did not and back then we were in a fight to the death. I suppose American lives do matter. The thousands that would did in prison camps. I guess it does not matter to you that any other scenario would be not to attack and leave the japanese armies intact. To leave the Japanese ruling Manchuria in China. You would of left the Japanese ruling Korea. You would of left the Japanese in the Philippines and Indochina?The United States of America's "great proud and just history" doesn't excuse the decision to use nuclear weapons on civilians. FDR democrats most likely foresaw the problem they might have with an independent V.P. that might be aware of the insanity of nuclear weapons and decide not go along with the eggheads and the crazies in the military so they fired the sitting Vice President while he was on vacation and picked a freaking high school educated haberdasher from Missouri to be president when they knew FDR wouldn't live out his 3rd term. Though the years he media tried to prop up Harry Truman's legacy but Korea showed that he was in fact a dumb assed timid bureaucrat who was afraid to confront his own General until it was too late.
Sad is war, we do not need to excuse ourselves, nor our decisions that ended World War II. Surrender was up to the Japanese and they refused. It was not up to us to throw in the towel for them.
You think Japan would of fared better had they been wiped out with conventional bombs and a full invasion over the course of 12 months? ...If you had even a tenuous grasp on history you would not make that statement.
No, you dont get it, and I understand you dont give a shit about our country nor our people. I am not here to change your mind. I am simply here to show the others here that you can not construct any sort of rational argument. All weapons are horrific. It is especially horrific to be tortured and starved to death. It is horrific to have to fight a land was against fanatics fighting to the death. Of course you know nothing about any of this for you have not educated yourself on this topic. Somebody planted a little idea in your head and you think you are clever repeating itI get it.

No, the defense for using the most powerful weapon in history, was that the Japanese perpetrated an act of war upon us and we had to defend ourselves.I get it. The defense for using the most horrific weapon in history is that we were fighting the Japanese race.

We fight to win, to win as quickly as possible, with the least amount of damage and death to our own citizens.
Unless they are wiped off the face of the earth, no enemy is ever defeated. In august alone, we lost ships, subs, planes, and over a 1000 men.That is a completely specious argument given that the enemy was defeated, and we targeted and slaughtered unarmed civilians.

...Got that, nobody in history has proved the Japanese were beat and unable to fight. ...
Eisenhower is about the only person anybody can quote. Only problem with Eisenhower is he gave many different versions of the story over the years. Each time, embellished a bit more. Until, the story was completely false and proven as such.Statements to that effect by military leaders of the time have been posted dozens, if not hundreds of times.
For some, it never ended,...Then the war never ended?
Really? I stated it never ended for anyone and you agree? Or are you just trolling adding nothing at all to my OP? Gee, it is so hard to figure you out. I most certainly search google for an answer to your serious observations and questions.What do you mean "some"? According to your measure, it never ended for everyone.

Another google search? Well, it is the first offered by you. I can rip it apart. Of course Eisenhower has already been shown to be a liar but I will repost once again to show you and address this article.Hiroshima: Military Voices of Dissent | Origins
