Best Posts in Thread: Hiroshima A-Bomb 70 Yrs. Ago

The Japanese solders were nasty pieces of sh*t, they tortured their captives. wish USA had dropped the bombs sooner.

 

We did not begin the war with a sneak attack the destroyed much of America's naval forces---THEY DID! From that point forward, EVERYTHING in Japan was fair game. Personally, I am sorry that we only had two atomic bombs to drop. Both were dropped on military targets and the result was the unconditional surrender of a nation that had committed unspeakable atrocities in every country they occupied. The emperor's telegram was NOT an unconditional surrender offer, so Truman did the right thing, although several more Tokyo style fire bomb raids could have been laid on prior to Enola Gay's bomb run. Japan brought the destruction upon themselves, both with Pearl harbor and with their determination to fight kamakazi style during the invasion of Japan. Most estimates for US casualties are in excess of 500,000 killed and wounded. Screw 'em, drop the bomb and end what they started!
