Truman Warns Japs To Give Up 1945/06/07

"In a speech to Congress, President states that Japan faces the same complete destruction that was visited upon Germany. To that end, millions of troops, and their implements of war, are being transferred more than half way around the earth. The President adds that though many key industries have already been leveled by U.S. air attack, all of Japan's industries will be completely destroyed unless Japan surrenders." (partial newsreel)

why does everyone hate America we stormed the beaches of Normandy saved countless jewish lives saved Europe from economic ruin we warned japan to lay down their arms or we would drop a bomb and they said no. i think everyone hates us because we win at everything. or maybe its because we have shaun white and he does work on everyone in the Olympics ;)

@kraken138 I know you`re going to disagree with me, and I`m not trying to cause a shit-fight where we mindlessly call each-other retarded faggots repeatedly.

...But `disengaging` in a war is basically giving up, therefore, it`s a defeat.

I'm glad Hitler didn't get hold of the bombs first, it would of been game over for us British. I couldn't think about the destruction of our cities, it would be. There is no answer of what was right. It is history we cannot change but only learn to live in peace and respect for a hopeful future.

@Mattheweueu We don't hate the America that did all that (But by the way you sure took your time and your political policy of isolation was retarded) but what America has become. I mean for gods sake 40% of Americans believe evolution is false and as many as 50% of you think the earth is thousands of years old instead of 4.6 billion.

If that isn't stupidity I don't know what is.

Truman - probably the most evil President in US history. directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of so many.

- Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic bombs - mass murderer of women, children and old civilians

- recognition of Israel

- interfering in Vietnam (leading to vietnam war)

- interfering in Korea (See Korea war)

- medical experiments on blacks in Tuskegee and Guatemalans

And this is not even a complete list of his crimes.

You should not be honoring or defending this man America ...

@Mattheweueu I must say this. The US army is always the one on the scene first. well most of the time anyways. However the US should be more concerned of whats going on in its own country and be more concerned about its citizens first.

You know about occupy thats going on at the moment ? Not only that, the health care system and also there is hardly any jobs. Sure you guys may have a great military and are known for helping others but its about time to help your own. every country has a flaw

@Mattheweueu America, Britain and Canada ALL stormed the beaches of Normandy, not just America. All the allies fought together in Europe, one country alone can't take credit.

As for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that's just unjustifiable.
