Little Boy - Atom Bomb - Hiroshima

Little Boy was the codename of the atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945 by the 12-man crew of the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets of the United States Army Air Forces. It was the first atomic bomb ever used as a weapon and was dropped three days before the "Fat Man" bomb was used against Nagasaki.

You want barbaric? Take the Rape of Nanking, or the occupation of the Philippines by the Japanese, or the slaughter of Chinese civilians. Again, Japan REFUSED to surrender. The only two options besides Little Boy and Fat Man were to either invade Japan itself (which would have resulted in hundreds of thousands more casualties), or allow Japan to continue its reign of terror in the Pacific (which would have resulted in hundreds of thousands more casualties).

Type uranium atomic bomb has not been developed even now. This means that the atomic bomb not made in USA was dropped on Hiroshima. As the experiment of atomic bomb, It was the first and the lasｔ uranium type bomb.

This was all made in a movie studio.

At the beginning, when the men wheel a cart out of the building: There was no such building at Tinian. The buildings at Tinian were Quonset huts. No square buildings.

There was no atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Both cites were bombed with incendiary bombs, just like Tokyo and many other Japanese cities were. Then you were told it was an atomic bomb. There is no such thing as an atomic bomb. They don't exist.

That's what u get Japanese

[revolutionforjapan]

the United States, you did the worst thing that you should be shamed. You killed unarmed people, civilians...

[TheWildScarletRose]

And the worst thing is that innocent people seem to pay for things planned for subserving the interests of political leaders...:(

[TheWildScarletRose]

Seeing comments like the two top ones just disgusts me...People getting people smashed like worms, like they are nothing.Nothing can justify such a barbarity.Human beings turn into beasts from hell when at war.

And this is why we should keep remembering all these, to prevent such crimes, and war in general, from destroying more human lives...

[MrCoolByte]

So in order to save human lives, we just need to sacrifice our humanity?

I would not kill 1 innocent life even if that would save our universe, because then there's no point in existence.
