  • Nothing says post nuclear trauma like upbeat big band music:)

  • @ShortandScottish Ah man, you're full of shit. That's a sorry excuse they teach you in your schools. America is always right, and if it involves killing hundreds of thousands of CIVILIANS for self defense, then so be it. I dont remember the japs attacking civilian zones, do you?

  • @srdjankovic just as long as you KNOW America is always right. i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all those deaths...thank god!

  • @kingsatan u should really read it again. I doubt that any Americans were killed in The Rape of Nanking. In fact, im sure it didnt happen. Its obvious that you're trying to defend your country, hell, i''d do the same thing, but there's no way that you can actually justify this. Just like you cant justify 1.3 million dead Iraqis and 7 million refugees in the US invasion of the East.

    ". I dont remember the japs attacking civilian zones, do you? "

    I don't remember it because I was - 20 at the time, but I did read about it in the Rape of Nanking. Civilians in all areas the Jap's took over were abuses, I would assume that would include civilians that were American. Also Japans balloons killed a few people in the USA.

  • @kingsatan I'm sorry, what did America have to do with that? Just another example of Americans butting in other countries business.

  • @srdjankovic

    Heh, other than Nanking, no of course not.

  • @yoyoboy70 no, not at all

  • @srdjankovic satire?

  • @tazmaniansonz. Yes. America spent billions of dollars and hours developing a brand new high tech untested atomic weapon. Bombing on real targets Hiroshima & Nagasaki was the perfect chance to test it. Not just desert test in Arizona. Real atomic attack legitimized billions of dollars and hours spent. It did not matter if japan was already interested in surrender, did not matter if Japan could not continue the war. It was great scientific testing opportunity, rather than military necessity.
