Your childishness sure is a poor substitute for an informed argument.Did you say something?
I know. But I corrected your falsehood anyway.I dont care
More likely he was just babbling ignorantly.You think nimitz was lying?
Hmmmm. You can prove they did not have such meetings and intentionally did not keep notes?He was wrong as evidenced by the fact there is NO record in Japan or the US Soviet Union or anywhere else that Japan offered to surrender BEFORE August 10.

It is YOUR responsibility to prove a meeting happened not mine to prove something did not happen.Hmmmm. You can prove they did not have such meetings and intentionally did not keep notes?
If you ever decide to learn about the subject, you will find that Japan did not make any surrender offers until August 10.Hmmmm. You can prove they did not have such meetings and intentionally did not keep notes?
More pathetic whining from Leahy.The use of [the atomic bombs] at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons ... The lethal possibilities of atomic warfare in the future are frightening. My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.
— Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to President Truman, 1950, [101]
What do you think about what Leahy said.It is YOUR responsibility to prove a meeting happened not mine to prove something did not happen.
He is wrong. Pretty damn simply if an offer was made then it would have appeared in the Japanese Government files and the US Government files. Again making a claim with no evidence is stupid.What do you think about what Leahy said.
I posted his quote

They are wrong the fact is that even after 2 bombs and an invasion by the Soviets the Government of Japan voted to continue the war and after the Emperor overruled them the Army members staged a Coup to stop the Emperor from surrendering. So much for your claim Japan was trying to surrender.Hmmm
How about Bombs Away Lemay
The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all.

Yet they did surrender. So surrender was definitely an option.They are wrong the fact is that even after 2 bombs and an invasion by the Soviets the Government of Japan voted to continue the war and after the Emperor overruled them the Army members staged a Coup to stop the Emperor from surrendering. So much for your claim Japan was trying to surrender.
The laws of war make it right. We had every right to keep attacking Japan until they surrendered.
Japan had almost no ability to do anything. We could have sat on our ships in the sea of japan and waited. It would have been over in a few weeksWe had control of the seas and the airspace around Japan
We had all the time in the world
We were the only nation on earth who had THE BOMB
We could end it in two days or two months, it didn’t matter
It was OVER
Killing hundreds of thousands of civilians wasn’t necessary

I see the name Alperovitz in that cite note, so there is no reason to think that Halsey actually said that.How about Halsey?
The first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment ... It was a mistake to ever drop it ... [the scientists] had this toy and they wanted to try it out, so they dropped it.
— Fleet Admiral William Halsey Jr., 1946, [103]

We had a bomb
Nobody on earth had any
Time was on our side
No need to slaughter additional civilians
No, it wasn’tWhy not?
It was Japanese civilians that started the war with the U.S.
No, it wasn’t
It was the Japanese militarists
The leaders were the Emperor and the military complexAnd who were the leaders of Japan? Who built the weapons? Who grew the food that fed the military?
Civilians
It was the citizens that built the weapons and grew the food was it not?The leaders were the Emperor and the military complex
The citizens had no input
