All nukes should be abolished. The fact that people have the technology to build things which simply cause such brutal destruction is discusting. I dont care which nation it is, no one has the right to destroy so many lives with these weapons no matter what they do to you, also thumps up if u think no1 should have nuclear weapons.
YOU CANT COMPARE ANYTHING TO THIS. THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC WAY OF EXTERMINATION. the fact that these weapons were developed and USED gave the possibility FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,THAT EVERY LIVING ON THIS PLANET COULD BE DESTROYED WITH A PUSH OF A BUTTON!!!!!!. America not only mass murdered thousands of people but planted the seed for any other country to use nuclear weapons for their OWN just cause. HARRY TRUMAN IS THE GREATEST WAR CRIMINAL!!! AMERICA SHOULDN'T PLAY god.
i hope that we never drop another nuclear bomb/missile one anyone ever again, but i do see the reasoning behind the ones in hiroshima and nagasaki. we did warn them to surreder and they didnt. and it was war, so either they died, or soldiers on both sides would die. either way, war sucks and this should not happen again.
Probably the reason why this is so memorable, is not because of how many it killed, but how it did so. Hearing about a military battle and people being boiled from the inside out by a bomb they had no time to prepare for is just disturbing to anyone.
Im from Guam and around that time. Japanese overtook US here and killed many people. Throwing them into caves and grenade (ing) them. digging out holes and burning them. its all terrible even what we did to japan but Japan started all kinds of mess. At this point there is no need for finger pointing!! Peace
Only country in the history of mankind to use an atomic bomb....what a fucking shame.Who are we to regulate other countries from developing this shit when we are the ONLY ones that have used it. Saving lifes my ass.
Why do people go on and on about the horrors of war and that war must never ever happen again (yeah, right), but you NEVER ever hear them go on about the horrors of prisons and concentration camps and proclaim with great self-righteousness that prisons must never ever happen again?
Is war, any war, wrong by most human value systems? Unquestionably wrong. How is a city destroyed more wrong because it was done with a single bomb? Ask the people of London, Hamburg, Dresden, Warsaw, or Tokyo if their pain was any less horrific because their cities were destroy by fleets of bombers or massed artillery. These bombs ended WWII decisively.The lesson to the world is if you don't want this to be repeated, learn to live together in peace. Unfortunately, this has not been learned.
all i say is that this was a lesson to all countries that we dont need this stuff look what it did.......its sad but then again why is us in the wrong? what if Germany built the bomb and attacked the allies? this was a strong lesson learned and this is why we dont need these weapons of mass destruction no more
funny how the US is playing world police, trying to restrict nuclear development in other countries, not even intended to be used as weapons. ironically, the US has countless nukes and is the only country to date to have used it on someone else.
The idea that atomic bomb saved both American and Japanese people's life is an empty hindsight justification which ignores the problem of its apocalyptic power to create "Tragedy."
Atomic bomb's true evilness is it's cruel way of killing. If you read Japanese classic manga "Barefoot Gen," you can easily understand what I'm talking about. This manga tells the true "tragic nature" of this event far more better than typical education (especially American one) about Hiroshima (and Nagasaki).
This is a terrible, terrible thing that we did. It's all Truman's fault, he was a fucking idiot, his probably ordered this out of stupidity....or frustation, because he was incapable of reaching a goddamn agreement with the japanese that would've pleased both sides. The fact that his approval rating today is over 50% makes me puke, the baby boomers are so stupid the believe everything their parents told them.
I'm torn on my opinions here. Yes, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, and yes things like Manking (unsure on the spelling) happened, and yes a full scale invasion of Japan would have killed a lot more people in the end. But I read about what happened... And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Not skin melting and peeling off, not the radation killing thousands... Not children dieing over a war that wasn't theres. Yes, the atomic bombing was nessisary in my opinion, but not on cities. Not like this.
I feel ashamed when i watch this, America was wrong. We were weak warriors, and needed a quick victory so we attack mothers & children in Japan. In Germany we lyed about jews being burnt (look up Dvid Cole Jewish Historian on youtube), and then we murdered 100's of thousands of German soldiers after the war was over, a true holocaust. I am sorry for the weakness of our leaders and all those who suffered on all sides during this time.
We may or may not have lied i dont know but we werent wrong about the german camps where U.S. soldiers and civilian mothers,fathers,even children that were jewish or just fighting for their rights put in gas chambers and tortoured to death. So we were probably wrong for the bombs on japan but I dare you to look up Nazi camps and gas chambers and I bet you'll think what we did was better. The Nazis murderd THOUSANDS of civillians for nothing.
atomic bomb..should not have existed ...i could care less whether Japan deserved it or not or if any other region deserves to be disintegrated in high temperatures...it should not have existed
What do all weapons do? Sorry if you don't agree, but in a historical standpoint everyone is to blame. Every country that has ever been to war is to blame. Ever since the development of gun powder by the Chinese which created a new age of terrible weapons. The atomic weapons where just the evolution of technology that has slowly been developed solely for the purpose of destroying ourselves. If there has ever been a more self destructive species in the cosmos, its humanity.
Yes, Japan was a threat to the U.S, a major threat, but what Harry Truman ordered that does, is an unforgivable atrocity to humankind. People say what a monster Adolf Hitler was, but the mass murder ordered by Truman that day is just as evil as anything Hitler did.
I can truly understand why the United States droped the Atomic Bombs. The United States was not gonna ignore the attacks made on Pearl Harbor. However, I 100% agree with the woman in this video. Peace is very valuable and should be treasured. Our children are the ones that suffer the most from war.
If those of you spewing your hate filled comments actually listened to what the woman was saying, maybe you could have a chance to be enlightened. The citizens of a nation are always punished for the actions of its leaders. You cannot separate pain and agony from war anymore than you can keep the sun from setting.
What the US did here was disgusting yes very but what the Japs did was a total dog act to begin with, but at least they hit military targets, i don't feel for the Japs sorry but the US had no involvement in the war you did it to yourselves karma, why did you guys attack Australia? resources the reason the Brits stayed and killed my fellow Natives, don't forget what you guys have done to the Chinese for the past how ever many years, now there a world power you might get your own back one day.
These are the reasons Americans should not be allowed to exist....how crazy can a population be....they are the 21st century bully of planet earth...I hope they pay...they have to pay...any more of your non sense will only destroy you more quickly...
Yes,war is brutal and hurts the innocent.Check out how the japanese treated the chinese,using their children for bayonet practice and raping the women to death. And then the chinese and Mao were medieval themselves...conclusion: nationalism of any kind breeds stupidity and violence! A soldier's job is to kill and not ask who or why. Which is called glory and honor or love for one's country. Basically, a respected and glorified form of tribalism.
. . .and here's the really brutal truth: By the third or fourth year of the war the majority of people on both sides thought the other less than human and really didn't give a darn how many of them they killed. Looking at it from the year 2010 it may be hard to understand, but that was just the harsh truth. Anything we could do the hasten the end of the war and minimize Allied casualties was welcomed almost universally.
Here's the truth: WWII was total war. The aerial barbarity was started by the Germans and Japanese, with their indiscriminate area bombings of Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, London, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Canton, to name a few.
It was returned on a much greater scale by the allies over cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka: In fact, virtually every German and Japanese city of any significance was bombed, often repeatedly, during the war.
Until now.... The Japanese still do not know they had doing the wrong things in starting te WW2, that means the lessons of two atomic bomb still do not teach them anything. They still think that they are correct and stand in the right side of the war.... if they still not learn the lesson, they will sure have more atomics in the future.
In the other hand, Germany had learn the WW2 lesson and every citizen know what thy had done in WW2.
I truly don't understand why everyone is hung up solely on the Atomic bombings. The United States had implemented a policy of total war long before August 1945, firebombing Dresden and Tokyo which amounted to many more deaths than the atomic bombs (including residual effects). Both the firebombing and atomic bombing were terroristic at heart, a sacrifice of morals in exchange for ease of success in my opinion.
Japanese military murdered from nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most likely 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. And in my homeland Singapore the japanese have massacred 90,000 civilians and this amount is most likely underestimated. So how can 2 atomic bombs compensate the lives lost in the saying of "an eye or an eye" So it has been very fair to the japs already.
so what was the war about . it was the americans who came to japan to get there country westernised . the american wiped out all of the samuari with there guns . these people were at pece for hundreds of years . and that is way at pearl harbour the japanese went in there plans to die with there swords as the samurai done for hundreds of years . i blame the americans for most of the wars they also wiped out the indians with there guns . so who are the bad guys in the world today
the way the japan army treated our people during the war was disgusting.my great uncle was in a prisoner of war camp and was a lucky one who got out just.he was a bag of bones.they killed woman and children by brutally abusing them feeding them rice,no medical treatments.they were barbaric towards our people.japan got what it deserved!
I wonder if the radiation level is close to normal in Hiroshima? The city looks so beautiful. And I wonder if that woman has children and if they are healthy?
@kesrawr i concur with most of your statement but it was this or invade japan and loose 100's of thousands of allied troops. We waited three days for Japan to surrender before we dropped another one on Nagasaki. Maybe they should have thought about this before pearl harbor and if you think they wouldn't have done this to us then your sadly mistaken. they just didn't know how.
@BeforeIforgot We all were. The Japs were attempting to make the same bomb. So were the Nazis. Bringing ww2 to an end fast was total priority and if it had been a week later who knows? It may have been the other way around.
I think that this attack on other country's is just one big vicious circle, first pearl harbor, well not just pearl harbor the japanese also bombed many other countries, but then the numerous bombings of the us on japan, and then the terrorist attack of 9/11 unfortunatley this world just seems to be one big vicious cycle.
i don't believe in killing,but we would have never dropped the a-bomb on them if they hadn't came to pearl harbor,and killed our soldiers,and innocent women,and some children who were visiting the base were killed as well.just because we cut off thier oil supply.
@winchell2 They killed about 2500 people, mostly soldiers, and then we wipe over 130,000 people in two days, disease thousands more, and the effects of the radiation still kill people today. I know that pearl harbor was a horrible thing, but I can't stand people talking about how hiroshima and nagasaki are some kind of redemption for pearl harbor, not that you said that, but some of our leaders at the time did think of it that way.
@winchell2 Did they use an atomic bomb in Pearl Harbor? Does anyone in Pearl Harbor die or suffer TODAY from horrible deases after that bombing? Are american children born with mutations because of Pearl Harbor? I know it's hard to admit that your country is devolish but it's the truth!
@winchell2 They would have never come to Pearl Harbor if the United States had left them alone to live their lives as they wished. We tried to run Japan since the 1800s when Adm Perry sailed into the harbour and said that they were going to blow them away if they didnt trade with the U.S. He just will NOT leave other countries alone. We have tried to run the world. Thats why the world hates us so bad. It brought on 911. When will we ever learn?
Hey are you an American?! Think of that when you read about what Americans did to Europe in the WW II! Bombed the cities whith incendiary bombs and used strategic bombings on cities! @winchell2
@STOPTHEEU I think the word "impress," with a highly positive connotation, is nearly the opposite of what the Allies wished to achieve in relation to the Russians. Perhaps "intimidate" or "warn" would be better, as even before the war was over there were obvious tensions present, especially between the U.S. and Russia, most notably the use of the atomic bomb to prevent Russian involvement in the Pacific front.
@winchell2 You are, of course, entirely dismissing the fact that plans to enter the war were already in place. Though primarily focused against Germany, there was a reason the United States had the greatest Navy in the world and it wasn't for sight-seeing. Also, the embargo upon oil was not the primary cause for attack, as stated by Japanese leaders and accepted by U.S. leaders today. Japan attacked to preemptively reduce the potential of U.S. opposition, as the U.S. does in the Middleeast today
Did you know that the air raid sirens did NOT go off while those planes were spotted above Hiroshima? I watched an animated film, written by a survivor of the bombing, entitled "Barefoot Gen" that gives a pretty accurate depiction of what happened from the perspective of a civilian child.
Most human beings are repelled by war, especially those in the military all the way up the chain of command. Eisenhower (a Republican) questioned the need for the Bombs and warned of the dangerous US military-industrial complex.
Many in the military regretted the Bombs. The decision to use one on Japan had been made in 1944 by our POLITICAL leaders, New Deal Democrats who got us into WWII in the first place. These same people are celebrated by Progressives today. Vote Republican in November!
I'm a university student in japan. i dont want US government to apologize to japanese one. i hope united states people like you will not forget this tragedy and tell your friends. i hope you respond to us when japanese feel sad. if there is a duty to US people, i think that is a responsibility to tell your children not to fade the fear of A-bomb.
Not to mention nearly all of those who died at 9/11, were killed instantly. These people, children and babies suffered unimaginable horror and pain... humanity ftw
Here we make such a big stink over 9/11... fingering the attackers and it's organization as being the axis of evil for the 3000ish civilians "and only a couple children" killed at 9/11, of course both were criminal and disgustingly horrible acts but since our government dropped these bombs on civilian cities, they lost all right to go around finger pointing others for crimes only 1 / 1,000,000th as terrible in comparison.
An act of inhumanity by USA....did george washington could ever imagined when he fought for american independence that his country would do such cruelty....america have spoiled their image
Gosh, I pray that we never have to use the atomic bombs again...no matter what there are innocent people who have no part in what their leaders do yet pay the price for their actions...my heart goes out to each and every American that perished at Pearl Harbor but my heart also go out to these innocent children , man, and woman who had died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
And I quote Marlon Brando: "The horror. The horror."
It is the fate of the world in the hands of a few who dictate the way in which God seems nonexistant.
All of this and the rest of WW2 happened right after thousands had prayed and endlessly repeated the words "never again", right at the end of the slaughter of WW1. Who's to say it will never happen again?
The first atomic bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy", was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945...Although Einstein did not invent the bomb and did not participate in the Manhattan Project, his theories laid the foundation for it...The Relativity Theory showed that mass could be converted directly into energy (E=mc²), and that a minute piece of mass could release a vast amount of energy...
Most america does NOT know the the facts on Pearl Harbor -We had "Four" radar positions on the islands ..They reported seeing a huge inexplainable cloud or blip coming to them ..It, was called in and they were told to ignore it , it may be a disfunction etc.. Until they seen the the planes and it was way too late,, Documented as Truth; so then we bombed Japan , we messed up ..
US basic tactics in WW2 was to attack cities and civils with indiscriminate bombings and naval gun shootings. ex. Manila, Dresden, Okinawa, etc.
Of Japan's 66 biggest cities, 59 had been mostly destroyed. 178 square miles had been burned, 500,000 died in the fires, and 20million Japanese were homeless.
Only four cities had not been destroyed; Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. Their inhabitants had no inkling that they had been saved as target cities for the experimental A-bomb.
thare was a lot of planing into these bombing's Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 2 city's on a list of mager city's in Japan and before this thare was a plan were we wold send bat's with bomb's straped to them send them into people's house's and blow them up but when we develeped the Atomic Bomb it was like "screw the first plan this one's more powerfull!," and we gave the emperer a warning "suurender or fase total destrutson!," thay igorned it and 3...2...1... BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Atomic weapons are horrible thing, but the Japanese should realize that America was going to do whatever was necessary to win the war. If the Japanese didn't want to suffer under American military, then they shouldn't have started the war. Yes America did cut off supply routes to Japan before Pearl harbor happened effectively cutting off their empire, but the key word there is "empire". All America did was try to stop Japanese oppression and agression. The moral of the story? Don't start wars.
Americans..got to be the most disgusting people around the globe.they took land that was not eaven theirs and killd most of the natives.The are the onley ones that dared to use an atomic bomb...and they did it twice.And theire is way more to blame them.and look how damn proud the are...........................
dam you see how human are ..thats what people do to each other ..this is some sad stuff ..and can you believe that american people are proud of this ishhh...sad
i agree that atomic bomb was wrong. i also say japan pearl harbol attack is wrong. they did a SNEEK attack. that means NO ONE was at war. everybody was innocence. both moves by usa and japan is wrong
The Satanic Japanese army killed at least 100x more people in WWII, at least 100 more nukes needed to be dropped on this shit island to make it look remotely even.
They don't deserve our sympathy, quite the opposite actually
@SolidRex, So innocent men women and children who were just as much victims to communist Japan don't derserve sympathy for a Atomic bomb being dropped on them?
that bom should of being dropped on president trumans home land (Israel) ! ! whether americans like it or not, pearl harbour was staged just like 911 was to see and to justify dropping such a powerful new weapon (nuclear bom) and the real affects of the nuclear bom would be in a real city, japans aggresion gave truman the green light, but hey history repeats its self in the good old USA! just a perthetic country with 60% of americans being stupid and fools

We need to learn and let our leaders know that a nations government and it's people are mutually exclusive from one another. I am an american and wish to know if this truly ended the war or was it revenge for Pearl?
@barristerwolf we never really will know the exact reason. i personally believe it was for revenge and pure racism against the japanese. basically i think we just wanted them dead! plus to show russia we did have a big bomb because we knew it would be us and them as the two leading world powers
Hundreds of nukes tested in our atmosphere. No wonder the cancer wards are so busy these days. Another wonderful invention science. Keep up the good work. Are we positive we have the brightest minds on the planet working in this field?

they dropped the atomic bomb in 1945 or something and that was so powerful that the temperatures exceeded a million degrees . what scares me is the kind of bombs that they could be making right now.
Yes, The Japanese Atrocity Is equally to the Nazi. The Japanese so soon forget the crime they were involved in... just to say the least... no one can commend Japan!
do people forget about the inhuman evil crimes the japs committed in ww2 the atrocities they done where truly on par with the nazi and even today they still do not recognise,admitted or even said sorry for what the jap army did.now i know the sins of the farther does not carry on to the child but just to say sorry to help the process move forward would be a start.lets just hope there will never be a ww3 as for know we have the power to wipe all human kind out this cannot happen!
in that era japan was going through japanese militarism, were they thought that military should dominate political and social life.(military not civilians)
i really think they know that they did wrong, but probably too ashamed to apologize.
if you look at the after math germany and japan
are 2 very important countries now. and with not many social problems as others. perhaps this wars somehow affected in this. to now that bad things happen when you do bad, might help in becoming more human.
@smigbabb Yea, i hope too that ww3 never will rise. as Mr. Einstein said:"i dont know which weapon we will use in WW3, but in WW4, we will use sticks and rocks"
just thinking of that, it scares the hell out of me
blizt so thats terrorism. Well i guess im a terrorist cuz thta was what was needed the casualties were bad and it is sad but Total victory was needed to win not to mention pay back for pearl harbor
@AjDeal555666 The following are the countries that the United States has bombed since the end of WW2: China, Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada, Libya, El Salvador, Iran, Nicaragua, Germany, Panama, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia
wow...i never realized what an impact this bomb had. innocent men, women ,children, all vaporized or killed by radiation. man.....i hope we never have to come to this conclusion again
like a heated discussion between two different parties, who each think they're right, but the american are the ones who are cocky enough to 'end' it that way... it's easy not having to listen to the other person's opinion and just killing them..that way you're always right...america seriously has to stop acting like a worldy patriot, playing god over the whole world, who da fuck do they think they are
America doesnt play god, we made a HUGE mistake dropping that bomb...we try to keep people safe now, we made a huge mistake...and we cant change that, that doesnt stop some of us from praying at night to the ones who died, you dont know Americans, we go around the world trying to bring peace to people who spit on us, we're good people, we made a horrible mistake, regardless, never forget the people whos lives were taken...God rest the Atomic Bomb victims...
we did it for a reason, but even i, an american citizen, am sorry that it came to this and am horrified at what happened to these people. i have predicted nuclear bombs will end the world, but i sincerely hope it NEVER comes to that.
Man this is so awful and I am in tears...but why did they have to attack us? This was just terrible man....OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!! American Citizen...OH Lord!
In my opinion USA is the biggest terrorist country in the planet. They are still trying hard killing thousand of civilians in other countries. They are really good at that, that is for sure.
All nukes should be abolished. The fact that people have the technology to build things which simply cause such brutal destruction is discusting. I dont care which nation it is, no one has the right to destroy so many lives with these weapons no matter what they do to you, also thumps up if u think no1 should have nuclear weapons.

Yes, the atomic bombing was nessisary in my opinion, but not on cities. Not like this.

I feel ashamed when i watch this, America was wrong. We were weak warriors, and needed a quick victory so we attack mothers & children in Japan. In Germany we lyed about jews being burnt (look up Dvid Cole Jewish Historian on youtube), and then we murdered 100's of thousands of German soldiers after the war was over, a true holocaust. I am sorry for the weakness of our leaders and all those who suffered on all sides during this time.

We may or may not have lied i dont know but we werent wrong about the german camps where U.S. soldiers and civilian mothers,fathers,even children that were jewish or just fighting for their rights put in gas chambers and tortoured to death. So we were probably wrong for the bombs on japan but I dare you to look up Nazi camps and gas chambers and I bet you'll think what we did was better. The Nazis murderd THOUSANDS of civillians for nothing.

What do all weapons do? Sorry if you don't agree, but in a historical standpoint everyone is to blame. Every country that has ever been to war is to blame. Ever since the development of gun powder by the Chinese which created a new age of terrible weapons. The atomic weapons where just the evolution of technology that has slowly been developed solely for the purpose of destroying ourselves. If there has ever been a more self destructive species in the cosmos, its humanity.

Yes,war is brutal and hurts the innocent.Check out how the japanese treated the chinese,using their children for bayonet practice and raping the women to death.

Which is called glory and honor or love for one's country. Basically, a respected and glorified form of tribalism.
kzam717 1 year ago
. . .and here's the really brutal truth: By the third or fourth year of the war the majority of people on both sides thought the other less than human and really didn't give a darn how many of them they killed. Looking at it from the year 2010 it may be hard to understand, but that was just the harsh truth. Anything we could do the hasten the end of the war and minimize Allied casualties was welcomed almost universally.

Here's the truth: WWII was total war. The aerial barbarity was started by the Germans and Japanese, with their indiscriminate area bombings of Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, London, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Canton, to name a few.
It was returned on a much greater scale by the allies over cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka: In fact, virtually every German and Japanese city of any significance was bombed, often repeatedly, during the war.

In the other hand, Germany had learn the WW2 lesson and every citizen know what thy had done in WW2.

I truly don't understand why everyone is hung up solely on the Atomic bombings. The United States had implemented a policy of total war long before August 1945, firebombing Dresden and Tokyo which amounted to many more deaths than the atomic bombs (including residual effects). Both the firebombing and atomic bombing were terroristic at heart, a sacrifice of morals in exchange for ease of success in my opinion.

Japanese military murdered from nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most likely 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. And in my homeland Singapore the japanese have massacred 90,000 civilians and this amount is most likely underestimated. So how can 2 atomic bombs compensate the lives lost in the saying of "an eye or an eye" So it has been very fair to the japs already.

Yastamba 1 year ago
@winchell2 It wasn't because of pearl harbour.
The bombs were originally being made for Nazi Germany.
They were used on Japan because....
1. The death toll of an invasion of troops was too high
2. The Japanese were working on the same bomb
and 3. The Allies wanted to impress the Russians.
STOPTHEEU 1 year ago
@STOPTHEEU I think the word "impress," with a highly positive connotation, is nearly the opposite of what the Allies wished to achieve in relation to the Russians. Perhaps "intimidate" or "warn" would be better, as even before the war was over there were obvious tensions present, especially between the U.S. and Russia, most notably the use of the atomic bomb to prevent Russian involvement in the Pacific front.
michahsimmons 1 year ago
@winchell2 You are, of course, entirely dismissing the fact that plans to enter the war were already in place. Though primarily focused against Germany, there was a reason the United States had the greatest Navy in the world and it wasn't for sight-seeing. Also, the embargo upon oil was not the primary cause for attack, as stated by Japanese leaders and accepted by U.S. leaders today. Japan attacked to preemptively reduce the potential of U.S. opposition, as the U.S. does in the Middleeast today
michahsimmons 1 year ago
Did you know that the air raid sirens did NOT go off while those planes were spotted above Hiroshima? I watched an animated film, written by a survivor of the bombing, entitled "Barefoot Gen" that gives a pretty accurate depiction of what happened from the perspective of a civilian child.
misscuddlypoops 1 year ago
Most human beings are repelled by war, especially those in the military all the way up the chain of command. Eisenhower (a Republican) questioned the need for the Bombs and warned of the dangerous US military-industrial complex.
Many in the military regretted the Bombs. The decision to use one on Japan had been made in 1944 by our POLITICAL leaders, New Deal Democrats who got us into WWII in the first place. These same people are celebrated by Progressives today. Vote Republican in November!

US basic tactics in WW2 was to attack cities and civils with indiscriminate bombings and naval gun shootings. ex. Manila, Dresden, Okinawa, etc.
Of Japan's 66 biggest cities, 59 had been mostly destroyed. 178 square miles had been burned, 500,000 died in the fires, and 20million Japanese were homeless.
Only four cities had not been destroyed; Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. Their inhabitants had no inkling that they had been saved as target cities for the experimental A-bomb.

Atomic weapons are horrible thing, but the Japanese should realize that America was going to do whatever was necessary to win the war. If the Japanese didn't want to suffer under American military, then they shouldn't have started the war. Yes America did cut off supply routes to Japan before Pearl harbor happened effectively cutting off their empire, but the key word there is "empire". All America did was try to stop Japanese oppression and agression. The moral of the story? Don't start wars.

America doesnt play god, we made a HUGE mistake dropping that bomb...we try to keep people safe now, we made a huge mistake...and we cant change that, that doesnt stop some of us from praying at night to the ones who died, you dont know Americans, we go around the world trying to bring peace to people who spit on us, we're good people, we made a horrible mistake, regardless, never forget the people whos lives were taken...God rest the Atomic Bomb victims...

the Japanese are now more Americans than Americans....
Japan has lost its spirit ... became a big McDonald's-like country...
And they are crying foul for being nuked by America, which the Japs so deeply love...

we did it for a reason, but even i, an american citizen, am sorry that it came to this and am horrified at what happened to these people. i have predicted nuclear bombs will end the world, but i sincerely hope it NEVER comes to that.

there is no valid reason to drop such a weapon on innocent people.

Completely agree. People trying to excuse this act are as guilty as terrorists.

In my opinion USA is the biggest terrorist country in the planet. They are still trying hard killing thousand of civilians in other countries. They are really good at that, that is for sure.
