Global Voices "A Brave And Startling Truth" Video Project

*May Contain Mature Content*
An English project reciting a poem by Maya Angelo. The first thing this made me think of was Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus I focussed my main theme on that. It contains edited bits of an old Japanese cartoon/anime depicting that day from there perspective. _Credits_ Japeenese Animation : Unknown Various Pictures : Google Search Drawing : Graham Churchill Voice Over Alyssa Ferrari Music : Gary Jules ; Mad World More Music : Easy Karaoke Players; Mad World (instrumental Version) Editing/Compilation : Dylan Jones

This wasn't a debate over whether or not we should have done it. It was a memorial to those who lost their lives, and to spread awareness lest we never have to use it again.

"When we come to it."

Had Japan been "spared" the use of atomic bombs to end their war of aggression against civilization, what would have been the result of that war's end? Estimates say that millions of allied soldiers and tens of millions of Japanese would have been killed. They actually got off rather easy, after THEIR murder of roughly 30 million people between 1932 and 1945.

@LiveLaughLex

and you actually let them.

[LiveLaughLex]

Well, it's all a vision for the government to show us what THEY want us to see. It's the same with many things not just WW2, its with small things aswell that we do not even realize or come to actually notice.

[johnzkeePW]

Schools teach you what they want you to see. If you want the truth, do the research yourself. Or go to college. Did you know that, some Atrocities during WW2 are not taught in schools in Japan? I asked one of them if they know anything about Bataan Death March. I was shocked to hear him say, "What Death March?" wow, that's what you call a brave and startling truth.

P.S. I was just going on what I learned Last Marking period in School :D

1st bomb was already dropped on Hiroshima Aug6th. So hiroshima was already destroyed. Even so, that was not the original point. The point is no matter what country no one deserves to get hit with something such as an atomic bomb. No matter what they did. Melting eyes and skin and the killing of innocent civilians is not justifable on anyones part. I dont care who you are, if you allow such horror to happen, you are liable as a killer in my eyes. Its depressing is all, no disrespect.

At two minutes past midnight on August 9, Tokyo time, Soviet infantry, armor, and air forces had launched the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation. Four hours later, word reached Tokyo that the Soviet Union had declared war on Japan. The senior leadership of the Japanese Army began preparations to impose martial law on the nation, with the support of Minister of War Korechika Anami, in order to stop anyone attempting to make peace.

They only fought for the safety of their emperor. AND the Russians were not attack Japan at the time, the Russians said they would help us exactly three months after Germany Surrendered, the Russians never actually declared war. Before we bombed Hiroshima, the Japanese wanted to surrender IF the Americans did not take the emperor, but America was stubborn and wanted an unconditional surrender. AFTER we bombed Hiroshima we didn't take their emperor just as they asked America not to.
