Lantern Lighting at Green Lake in Seattle To Commemorate The U.S. Bombing of Hiroshima

You offer nothing. Why bother?
And yet, still do laps around you. You suck on multiple levels and inter-dimensionally.

So, maybe follow your own advice. Just stick to coloring books and maybe Facebook. 👍
 
Not unconditionally. That was the only acceptable form of surrender.
And it was wrong.

You do know Truman agreed to keep the emperor, which was the only thing Japan asked for, but after he murdered all those defenseless women and children with the two bombs. If you don’t, you’re uninformed.
 
And it was wrong
No it wasn’t. Allowing the Emperor to stay in place was the wrong thing to do. It was time for the Japanese leadership to fall on its sword and for the Japanese territories to become Truly Westernized.

Yet Truman did so. It was the only thing the Japanese asked for. Dirty Harry mass murdered them, then said okay keep your emperor. Nice guy.

It was one thing too many. On August 6th we should have also firebombed every city and village with more that a thousand inhabitants across the entire island.
 
Yeah America is so great when it massacres defenseless women and children of a nation trying to surrender. We are so proud!
You should read up on Operation Downfall. The proposed invasion of the Japanese mainland. Conservative estimates had 200,000 US casualties and 5 million Japanese dead.

Propaganda designed to cover up Truman’s war crime.

Did you ever ask yourself, why do we need to invade?

You do know that the Japanese attacked the US first ? The things they did to China, the Philiphines and Korea where horrifying.

So our government is justified in doing horrific things to them? What are you 12 years old?

I thought the US was better than that.

Stopping horrifying things. You've obviously never been anywhere in the far East. What the Japanese did there will never be forgotten.
 
Japan was defeated. It had no defense from air attacks that occurred in daylight every day and it's navy no longer existed as a viable force. The Bushido holdouts were desperately trying to negotiate reasonable surrender terms that included not executing the Emperor but the only president not to have graduated from college and president for about four months didn't have a freaking clue. The eggheads were dying to use their device and Truman gave the O.K.
