In every army, in every moment of history, there were heroes and thee were pieces of shit. Even in the Japanese Army in WW2: i spit to the sadic Japanese soldiers who killed and tortured civilians and prisoners, but I pay my respects to the heroic kamikazes. My western culture doesn't allow me to understand them, but i'm very proud for their courage, sense of duty and honor.
@14610966 mmm si tienes razon en honrar y valorar lo q hicieron estos valientes japoneses pero recuerda q ellos fueron los primeros en meterse en territorio ajeno y bombardear una base militar.lo q halla hecho luego eeuu no viene al caso en lo q paso en esta guerra. eeuu no hubiera intervenido si es q los japoneses no bombardeaban y mataban gente en pearl harbor.
@martiferreccio Los EEUU hubiesen acabado entrando en la guerra por las presiones de Gran Bretaña y sus aliados. Además, el hecho de entrar en la guerra supuso para los EEUU salir de la crisi económica del '29.
@peterthomas69 They are... Within there beliefs, religions and view on things. Dont be so close minded not everyone in the world is fixed on believing what Americans believe. If you are American, but it is a safe bet considering how you responded to him. I'm American just sayin.
looking at the top comment and thinking why would we want to remember a word that is synonomous with the murder of innocent Allied forces the Japenese at the time were hell bent on world domination - a policy that cost them dearly and tipped America's Hand to do a most awfull thing (drop atomic bombs) let them all rest in peace and lets move forward to a more peacefull world.
@davidanthonymitchell Are you sure you even went to school,Germany was by far the greater threat and that is why the U.S, committed 2/3's of its military to fighting there.When you get older or educated you will understand son.
Of course there is no difference in targeting a 100% military target in a "pre-emptive strike"(hehheh) and bombing civilian targets with no military value? :) Nagasaki and Hiroshima saw a lot of victims but many times more were killed by conventional fire bombing of Japan during LeMay's bomber offensive, when the outcome of the war had already been known for long. Situation was no different in Europe although there the main bad guys to blame were not USAAF 8th and 9th AF
@ekuthenewbie Either the Japanese did not know that loss was inevitable or they knew but would fight to the end. They still had big reserves of aircraft reserved for Kamikaze use and they were starting to mobolize the general popluation for a US invasion. Even though many would only be using swards and bamboo spears, throwing enough people at the enemy would inflict terrible losses. Infact that is one of the reasons the Soviets defeated the Nazies at Stalingrad.
Would it have been better to invade mainland japan and have 7 million casulties and guerilla holdouts and 2 more years of war.,or end the war in 1 week at the cost of 300,000 U.S. enemies
@dchoran1 7 million is a completely unmotivated extimation. Japan was already minimized in its offensive capacity and there were diplomatic pressures to re-open dialogues to sign a first-step armistice. The life-cost of the two bombs by far overcome the initial deaths count. Moreover, the argument that the bombs shortened the war may be true in itself but cannot justify its use. Had japanese citizens died fighting guerrilla it would have been no crime against humanity to respond to them.
But I see that you seem to be unable to differentiate between civilians, soldiers and pows, as you group them all under the "U.S. enemies" banner. This is horrible: civilians are not targets, wathever their nationality is. Truman's idea that without the bombs an invasion would have been not only necessary, but bound to result in millions of deaths is a pretext to erase the possibility of alternative outcomes including that of the free choice of the japanese state to ask for a peace.
japanese military and goverment at the time of world war2 were no more "honorable than Hitler.Starving,bayoneting and torturing civilians andPOWs in the worst ways.Lets get that straight.Hell bent on tyranny and world domination.The facts speak for themselves
@dchoran1 A crucial distinction has to be made in this and many other respects between the japanese army and the japanese navy. The latter has never been for the war against the US, didn't see the nazis friendly and negotiated till the last minute against the military élite in Tokyo to prevent the war. They have been commanded to fight and displayed an astonishing strategic and tactic capacity with somewhat limited resources. I'm a pacifist and cosmopolitan, but war history is there to be read.
all head to head,"fair"fights the japs got SPANKED.Mariannas:US shoots down 373 Japanese planes,Japanese shoot down 30 US.I guess they had no choice but to slam their planes into the US military.
@dchoran1 Also, it would be very easy to list some very unfair practices undertaken by the allied part too. In relation to Japan, of course, the one of shamelessly bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the war bound to end in a couple of months. I'm not saying that no distinction is possible. Of course the axis cause was pure folly and I'm glad the allied won (allied is not just atlantic powers btw, civilian resistance and USSR were indispensable) but i disagree in equiparate japan and germany.
He was talking about how ineffective and short-sighted a society can be when militarism and the military play a bigger part in a society's development than other aspects like education and knowledge .
@scottweise18 Actually, the Japanese invested heavily in education and at least the technological and martial portions of knowledge. That is why they were able to create a military fighting force in a short period of time more powerful than any in Asia that could go toe to toe with the west such as in the Russo-Japanese War and of course, WWII
@saylrp Yes but the Japan of the early 1900s was alot different than the one of the 1930s and 40s . For the most part the Japanese education system was becoming more centralized around the ideas of emperor worship and militarism, with more and more of the curriculum devoted to spiritual values and military drills . I didnt say that Japan never aquired valuable knowledge from the west and yes they did develop their own like the torpedo bomber that was used against the British near Singapore .
@saylrp And for reasons leading up to WW2, the corrupt military leaders that had taken hold of Japan since the later days of the Taisho Democracy were more hubris about the ideas of Empire and were willing to risk war with even the United States . And also the curriculum of the Japanese education created a mindset for soldiers,sometimes with force in the name of the emperor, to forcefully go against the government who they saw as corrupt like the ideas of the Showa Restoration which failed .
@saylrp The Japanese military was ruled with disrespect from younger officers who were both ambitious and would often have no hesitation for killing their superiors or even disobeying their orders. This one a normal thing. The education system and the militarist ideals created many fanatical junior officers, its why during the entirety of its existence the Japanese relied on say the Japanese-Anglo Alliance because they believed the British would help keep them in control of their military .
@saylrp Also the Japanese Government made the failed mistake of allowing the military more autonomy than in most Western nations where the armed forces, unlike the West, was not controlled by the civilian leaders . In fact most civilian leaders depended on the military itself to survive . The imperial armed forces answered to the Emperor alone, but he would often be kept in the dark like with the Mukden Incident that provided and invasion of Manchuria against his wishes .
@saylrp So of course the Japanese military was plagued with fanatics . The Japanese army for the most part was ineffective and short sighted, but I never said it was always like that . But it did start to go down that path with the military taking a more active role in Japanese politics in the 1920s to the end of WW2 . And like Aristotle said: Those who focus on one part of their education which was the ideas of the military instead of other means of education more are inferior .
@saylrp The Japanese research area was incredibely lacking at that time, not that they couldnt if they wanted to, but the military bgean focusing more on spiritual values and blind determination . Its why u dont see much of a change in weapons use by the Japanese unlike the Americans who greatly developed in the early stages of WW2 such as with the use of the M1 Garand semi-automatic where as the Japanese were using the Arisaka that came into effect in 1905 .
@scottweise18 America is a weak army if it was as small as japan, uk or germany. The only reason they won ww2 was because they were pussys and had to drop 2 nukes which took out thousands of people who had nothing to do with the war. And because you guys have a HUGE army not a strong army a huge one.
@R3v3ng3R3c0rdZ You know, i was going to respond with a well worded comment detailing why you are wrong. Simplified it is "defenders have the advantage". Numbers only help so much. But you will probably disregard it anyway, so i opted for the simple version. Also, if you would like to point fingers towards cowardly, dishonorable acts, i suggest you look into a place called "Nanking".
@R3v3ng3R3c0rdZ No it was coward japs who murdered 250.000 chinese civilians in Nanking, 100.000 civilians in Manila the filthy Pearl Harbo sneak attack, hell hole ships, and using civilians and POW,s in chemical and biological tests who were cowards, God Bless paul Tibbets
@R3v3ng3R3c0rdZ The fact you seem toavoid is 2/3s of the U.S. army was fighting in europe against the superior force.Also the thousands of "innocent" people were arming themselves for our invasion and were down for jap tyranny.The slopes had to slam their planes into us cause their skills sucked.Dropping the nukes saved lives and at least another year of war.1/3 of the U.S. military kicked japans ass,that is a fact.
You know there's a quote that Aristotle gave to the city-state of Sparta that I think best fits the Japanese at this time . It says: " It is the standards of civilized men not of beasts that must be kept in mind, for it is good men not beasts who are capable of real courage. Those like the Spartans who concentrate on the one and ignore the other in their education turn men into machines and in devoting themselves to one single aspect of city's life, end up making them inferior even in that. "
@bestwarriorbg If someone was air raiding our shores with bombs killing thousands and you and me got picked i'd have to beat your ass so you'd go. I'm sure after the ass kicking you still wouldn't go though.
@Kevoko Fact;The United States kicked japans ass with 1/3 of their military.65% of theU.S. military was fighting the superior enemy in Europe.The japs were the aggressors and paid for it.The japs attempt at world domination ,torture,slavery and tyranny is something that every jap should be ashamed of.These poor choices by the japs is why the U.S. doesnt allow them to arm themselves,be agood dog now.
How can you call them dumbasses? Most were barley 20 years old and i'm only 22 it's shocking. I'm starting out in IJA reenacting but before used to 'pose' as a kamikaze pilot for photo's at an airshow. the thought of flying those amazing machines to certain death and destruction doesnt seem real it's like this were a dream. If there is a heaven these pilots and the American, British casualties will be there as they are all good men and all heroes as far as i'm concerned. The spirit of Yamato.
these young japanese pilots with very little training had to fly through intercept patrols and massive barrages of flak and AA fire into fully armed battleships and ultimately sacrifice themselves in a desperate bid to save their honour, nation and emperor.
unlike today, where nutcases fly fully laden jets into defenceless buildings with the sole purpose of killing thousands of completely innocent civilians.
One battleship actually sunk due to one jet hit. That's why USA couldnot affort to lose one battleship just for one Japanese jet. So they dropped nukes and killed countless "innocent citizens" instead to make Japanese soldiers surrender :)
@SinclairCeltics1990 , no. Japanese govt was about to surrender. Knowing this move, the US govt dropped the nukes while even trying to make Japanese postpone the decision of surrender. Why? The US wanted to test the bombs with real human beings. Even Chief Commander Curtis LeMay later said "The nuke attacks were not necessary. Japan was about to surrender. Just conventional weapons worked enough well."
@Giggicodino the U.S. kicked japans ass with 1/3 of its military.Honor these tyrants bent on world conquest,slavery and murder?I dont think so slope!!!!!
One cheap plane with one amateur pilot, exchanged for a ship! Great deal! '
Minus all the ones who were shot down and crashed in the sea.
And also, using up the last of your fuel and aircraft on one-way suicide missions because your navy is mostly at the bottom of the ocean means you're screwed already.

@R3v3ng3R3c0rdZ The fact you seem toavoid is 2/3s of the U.S. army was fighting in europe against the superior force.Also the thousands of "innocent" people were arming themselves for our invasion and were down for jap tyranny.The slopes had to slam their planes into us cause their skills sucked.Dropping the nukes saved lives and at least another year of war.1/3 of the U.S. military kicked japans ass,that is a fact.

You know there's a quote that Aristotle gave to the city-state of Sparta that I think best fits the Japanese at this time . It says: " It is the standards of civilized men not of beasts that must be kept in mind, for it is good men not beasts who are capable of real courage. Those like the Spartans who concentrate on the one and ignore the other in their education turn men into machines and in devoting themselves to one single aspect of city's life, end up making them inferior even in that.

米艦隊の様子からすると、一度に多数の艦に特攻がかけられ命中してるようだ。
沖縄では、このように大戦果があったのを聞いたことがない。
おそらくベテラン搭乗員で構成された第二御盾隊の硫黄島特攻攻撃ではないだろうか?

@Kevoko Fact;The United States kicked japans ass with 1/3 of their military.65% of theU.S. military was fighting the superior enemy in Europe.The japs were the aggressors and paid for it.The japs attempt at world domination ,torture,slavery and tyranny is something that every jap should be ashamed of.These poor choices by the japs is why the U.S. doesnt allow them to arm themselves,be agood dog now.

How can you call them dumbasses? Most were barley 20 years old and i'm only 22 it's shocking. I'm starting out in IJA reenacting but before used to 'pose' as a kamikaze pilot for photo's at an airshow. the thought of flying those amazing machines to certain death and destruction doesnt seem real it's like this were a dream. If there is a heaven these pilots and the American, British casualties will be there as they are all good men and all heroes as far as i'm concerned. The spirit of Yamato.

these young japanese pilots with very little training had to fly through intercept patrols and massive barrages of flak and AA fire into fully armed battleships and ultimately sacrifice themselves in a desperate bid to save their honour, nation and emperor.
unlike today, where nutcases fly fully laden jets into defenceless buildings with the sole purpose of killing thousands of completely innocent civilians.

the japanese fighters were told that succeeding in their mission would bring them to their god in the afterlife.
plus, regardless, it didn't matter what the fighters believed, the airforce only gave the kamikazes enough fuel to reach the ships.

One battleship actually sunk due to one jet hit. That's why USA couldnot affort to lose one battleship just for one Japanese jet. So they dropped nukes and killed countless "innocent citizens" instead to make Japanese soldiers surrender :)
SinclairCeltics1990 2 years ago 3
@SinclairCeltics1990 , no. Japanese govt was about to surrender. Knowing this move, the US govt dropped the nukes while even trying to make Japanese postpone the decision of surrender. Why? The US wanted to test the bombs with real human beings. Even Chief Commander Curtis LeMay later said "The nuke attacks were not necessary. Japan was about to surrender. Just conventional weapons worked enough well."

Minus all the ones who were shot down and crashed in the sea.
And also, using up the last of your fuel and aircraft on one-way suicide missions because your navy is mostly at the bottom of the ocean means you're screwed already.
