@majorgeeek
It wasn't terror. It ended a war that Japan refused to give up. And in fact, if you knew your history, it SAVED lives.

@sNiP3R0pTiX Hiroshima is the 1st modern instance of terrorist bombings of civilian populations using nuclear weapons - which the US have difficulty officially defining as both justified and a reason for Japan's surrender - means the USA has adopted the culture of terror and mass destruction ie ground zero delivering a level of shock and awe on the enemy by deliberate targeting civilians & obliterating cities has become standard operating procedure as also adopted by bin Laden

@majorgeeek People died. Get over it. It was inevitable that nuclear warheads were going to be used on civilian targets because the world had never encountered that kind of devastation before. now that the world has seen over 100 nuclear detonations, the likelihood of another being detonated by a government of a developed country is nil to naught. that's war for you. even if you don't think you're involved, you still are.

@majorgeeek Sometimes it's just better to ignore things. The Press Secretary's job's to decide what's worth fighting for and what's not. By making a press statement, a local story gets national coverage (Remember, back in 45 a story that hits page 1 above the fold in Chicago could easily have no "legs" in New York or LA).
Even today... there's a rumor Obama's mother-in-law practices voodoo in the White House. Should the PotUS say something? Or is this just another LBJ-style pig-lover rumor?

@majorgeeek "Why didn't Truman deny the article?
Why didn't the WH release a press statement?" Generally speaking, the White House does not issue denials or press releases on every accusation. There's an apocryphal story going around that once LBJ was running for office and wanted to accuse his opponent of ... ah ... being romantically attached to pigs. "Now Lyndon," his campaign manager said, "you know that ain't true."
"I know that," LBJ said, "I just want to hear him deny it.

@Jefgg I believe the Jap air balloons killed 2 people in the US which added to the 62 US civilians killed at Pearl Harbor totals 64 plus or minus a few hundred - compared to killing over 600,000 Jap civilians in nuclear and fire bombings attacks of Japanese cities - are you using a exponential or logarithmic equation?

@kentamitchell the archivists should search the CIA
Trohan's front page story reveals more damning negligence of FDR and Truman stalling the surrender process and refusing to negotiate surrender with Japs
Why didn't Truman deny the article?
Why didn't the WH release a press statement?
Why didn't the newspapers retract the story?
How did Trohan acquire accurate and ultra top secret intel about Japan's surrender not privy to the public?
Why do you defend terrorism eg Hiroshima?

@majorgeeek Uh-huh. The archivists at the MacArthur museum have been waiting for almost FIFTY YEARS for that memo to turn up.
Why didn't any Japanese war crimes defendant mention it? Hirohito lived til 1989- why didn't he mention it?
Why no British official mention?
Why no mention in MacArthur's memoirs- published in 1964? No mention in any of MacArthur's staff's memoirs? No mention in any MacArthur biography?
Got any explanations, geekboy?

The Japanese sent air balloons with bombs to the United States. Fortunately most of them landed in rural areas. The slanty eyed geniuses underestimated the size of the United States. The U.S. shouldn't have dropped one atomic bomb on Hirshima and one on Nagasaki. They should have dropped hundreds of atomic bombs on Tokyo. The Japanese deserve descendants mutated by atomic radiation. They never should have messed with Mother Green & Her Killing Machine.
