  • The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki shouldn't even be debated. It saved millions of lives and brought a swift end to history's most brutal conflict. 

  • We needed to, had and were forced to drop those bombs.

    Not only to end the war in the Pacific, but to scare the hell out of the goddamn Soviets, let them know we're packing.

    Truman probably lost hours and hours of sleep contemplating the dropping of the A-Bombs,

    and if you don't think for one second if Germany or Japan had one of those bombs they would have dropped them square on New York or Chicago.

    Get REAL

  • @edwardd6681 When you come up with a better way to win a world war, let me hear it.

  • fuck truman rest in piss faggot

  • @elsocio231 Emperor Hirohito didnt commit suicide, he didnt even think about committing suicide. He believed he saved his country, which he did by accepting full surrender. Hirohito lived and continued to be emperor until 1989, when he died at the age of 87. Quite spreading lies.

  • we should have dropped them on Dec. 7th!

  • @TheDarkKnight990 I def agree with you. However, I think that we should also agree that any use of the atom bomb today would end the world.

  • @dfc99nyc Not to mention that, by winning the war with no real Soviet help, it allowed the country to be rebuilt as one, under one direction, laying the groundwork for the peaceful, prosperous Japan of today - I'm half convinced that saved more Japanese lives than preempting invasion, since a Soviet North Japan and a pro-US South Japan would've made East and West Germany look like BFFs.

    @elsocio231 he was allowed to remain, lived until 1989, and was buried with a MM watch he got at Disneyland.

  • Dropping the A-bombs spared the Allies an invasion of Japan in which millions of American, British, French and other allied troops would have been killed. Truman's first responsibility was to end the war and save American lives. Japanese lives were saved too. We have been at peace with Japan for 66 years. They are now a valued friend and ally.

  • Or what? because he is a criminal!

  • After japon surrender what happen with the emperor? He committed suicide

  • The bombings saved TENS of MILLIONS of lives, a small number of whom were American.
