And if Japan had not ATTACKED AMERICA, guess what.....they wouldn't have had to go through it at all.
Pearl Harbor, After Japan attacks America. Thousands of Americans perish
We CAN talk about it SINCE the lack of reaction of the American military authorities to the numerous warnings about the forthcoming Japanese attack at that time is COMPLETELY SIMILAR to THE LACK OF RESPONSE of the administration of the reincarnated alcoholic Bush Jr. to warnings by CIA and Mossad field officers about the presence in the country of a group of young Arabs who were trained to drive wide-body Boeing, but who systematically missed landing classes.
And what were ordinary Japanese people to blame for - men, women, old people ... children??? You SO love to talk about them!
I am READY for THIS discussion.
Are you under the delusion they would have been spared given the conventional bombing technology of the time. You only need look at the carpet bombing that took place in Europe to find the answer, it would be a resounding NO.
