[keiweak]

this is why am glad the nuclear bomb was created..it serves as a detterent to those who wish to rule the world and commit genocide on massive scale(although the nuke do the same atleast its fast your dead in less than .0001 sec unlike being stab to the chest which is agonizing..

[centurion180ad]

Is there some question about Right of Reprisal after hearing these eye witness accounts, and the subsequent accounts of Imperial wounded throwing grenades or booby trapping themselves?

[moonrider67]

@wichrau it's the US, who gives them full Amnesty, and not a single Jap where charged,remember? why should they apology???

[Lachausis]

@moonrider67 Of course Japs were charged and many were executed. The Tiger of Malaya was found guilty and executed. No need to lie here.

[moonrider67]

@Lachausis if i'm wrong i take it back... i watched a documentary about unit 731 , maybe they said only about unit 731, that th US officials wanted desperate the results of the experiments on the Chinese, and they gave the Japs there full amnesty .

[Lachausis]

@moonrider67 The same thing happened to all German scientists. Although you can't really blame engineer who constructed Tiger tank or V-2 for war crimes. The things Japs experimented on live humans would never have been done in USA, so they needed those results desperately. Typical military, I dare to say.

As I posted earlier...The Japs got what they deserved....The A Bomb. 

[alexamada]

I wonder why the Europeans didn't come help us Americans finish off the Japanese after we help them finish off the Nazis. Thanks guys >.>

[keiweak]

@alexamada they dont need any help.especially the navy. hell they even refuse the help of the army and when the brits decide to send there navy the US doesnt want to support it and said they need to supply themselve if they want to join.

[elvee88]

@alexamada Maybe because europe was in ruins? The only war ready ally in europe was The Great British Empire, who did offer help....

[alexamada]

@elvee88 yeah, that makes sense, i'll go with it. and as long as help was at least offered, its fine.

[1942ann]

How strange it is that Japan was not wiped from the face of the earth as was deserved.

[alexamada]

@1942ann its ok, we all know deep down you don't really mean that.

[Stranskii]

"England today is a superpower first class" Only France is stronger.

[alexamada]

@Stranskii hahahahahahaha...... hahahaha.... hahaha..... ha... ha... ha..... eh >.>

if you say so.... just for the record, you're french, right?

[NSResponder]

That savagery described at the end of this segment is why Harry Truman chose to end the war with the atomic bomb. He had no reason to believe that the Japanese would ever surrender, and he had a duty to save as many allied lives as he could.

The Scots and the Americans; two great peoples separated by a common language but joined again with a common drink!
