@Namelessjack14 If USA did not bomb the war will not end in 1945 in Asia and Millions of millions will die in both part is that what you like mr. ignorant, the 2 bomb did not kill 200,000 and the war ended hey read more the authenticated facts Why USA have to nuke Japan i am asian
@TheSancretor Or even, drop it on the see near coast line and than send a message "next one will drop on a city". And that would do the trick as well.
Even if this is ment as a tribute for the japanese soldiers....I honestly believe that it is a great song to show the true essance of any soldier during those years....It is truely Beautiful and it tells a story with no words... Just amazing.
Who cares how many americans died over there? The americans freaking killed over 500 000 civilians in a nuclear blast! And they think, ''Well we had to do it''. They didnt! If the terrorist used a nuclear bomb on the US then it would be such a big deal, well here's my thought about that. I would laugh! I hate americans, coz they think they are better then they really are, if they would be as good as they say they are, then wth arent the war afghan war over yet!?
@AWSwedish we are better an i can say tht proudly as an american citizen and soldier an we did have to do it they wudent give up an if we invaded japan more american lives wud have been lost so to avoid tht we had to break there will to fight an thts wat we did.
@AWSwedish Yah know, I am an american. And I understand we are supposed to have pride. But yah I don't like it here. I agree with you 100% :) I was actully thinking on moveing to your country, one of my friends lives there. And I agree with you we do think we are better then we are. THis isn't a free country anymore we may have more rights but the government dosen't give 2 shits about us :( And it's the cold hard truth.
look, i dont wanna be the typical johnny american cowboy, but we had to drop those bombs, otherwise an invasion on the mainland wuld kill alot more, besides that, this movie makes you think about how bad war is, i actually felt like i was pro japan wen i watched this, its about your brothers in arms, and this made me think more of war and the enemy
putos yankis, vuestra nacion se ha forjado en guerras, no teneis historia, ni pasado, ni nada de que enorgulleceros, son como quien dice, una desonra para el mundo. Matasteis a millones de gente solo por vuestro interes, no teneis honor, ni en la bomba atómica. By Spain
106,000 American deaths to 1.7 million japanese deaths? Dont mean to be disrespectful but how can shocking odds like that happen? Poor leadership? Maybe. But to have 2 atomic bombs dropped killing another 500,000 civilians, is just incomprehensable
Because the japanese war line of thought is "die for my country" and the american line of thought is "fight for my country". Americans didn't think it was dishonerable to back up and live to fight more, and so they died a lot less then the japanese.
@TalonMercenary. japanese had lame ass guns... like the arisaka and they had a gay submachine gun. americans on the other hand had m1 garand and tommy gun. americans were more tactical and stealthier too. same with all other wars they had. in vietnam only 50,000 americans died but millions of viet cong died. less then 5000 americans have died in afghan and iraq. and hundreds of thousands of terrorist has been killed.
@lifes40123 ya exactly thats what they dont tell us. Sure around 500 or so brit soldiers have been killed (RIP) but in the news they never tell us that the americans killed over 4000 taliban in 1 operation, im sure that would bring hopes up
this song inspired me to remember the people who died in the pacific war. also iwo jima the ameericans called it the land of the rising sun because it was one of the strongest islands.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shut the fuck up, enough with the petty bullshit, if there were any canadiens or british or aussies on iwo they would have been mentioned, but no it was only the americans and japanese, and it would take away from the movie if all of the sudden a notice was taken for the brits, aussies, and canucks fighting in other battles. it would just plain be retarded.
Indeed they did. An example would be in the Battle of Hong Kong my fellow Canadians the Winnipeg Grenadiers, Royal Winnipeg Rifles alongside British, Hong Kong Defense Corp, Hong Kong Chinese Regiment etc. I know it's stupid that most movies always almost protray the Americans as the Lone Wolf when it comes to the Pacific Theatre. It's sickening. XP
i think you need to calm down american gets them selves into every war thats why they are talked about so much , they do what is right for it is right just like every soldier in the battlefield you have to realise its not jus american fighting
Its not like the Commonwealth forces didn't fight in the Pacific Theatre or anything. They just needed the Americans to save their asses from an almost invincible Japanese Army (I can say this because I'm a Canadian and I love the Queen. If not for the Americans in the Pacific, Asia woulda been completley conquered by the Japanese.).
It was the Canadians that held the honor of defending the inevitable struggle against the Japanese Imperial Army in Hong Kong. And Asia would've been conquered. Everything except Australia. The Japanese understood that the sizable needed to mount an invasion on Australia was unrealistic to them at rhe time. By the time they extended their empire their forces were already stertched to the breaking point. Too little men defending such a large stretch.
In the End I would bet you Smedley Butler was sorry, very sorry he did not help arrest FDR in 1933, as he should have. FDR Recognized the USSR, first Nation to do so was US. Then bumping off Huey P. Long, and then Dec. 7, 1941.
it makes me realise there is no point in fighting we should protect eachother and ourselves, not one of the sides are going to win, each side has a significant amount of deaths
