I would research that, they surrendered and he was still declared emperor , Truman used the bomb to save lives, and i wasn't ever a fan of Truman.

Japan was already defeated and was actively engaged in the terms of surrender, WHETHER a surrender was going to happen was no longer an issue. As far as the emperor remaining, that simply proves my point....the real issue prior to using the bombs was politically the USA wanted an unconditional surrender. AFTER using the bombs, they didn't seem to give a shit if the Emperor remained as a figurehead.

Truman used the bomb to show the Russians his big muscles You may be right that the bombs may have saved SOME lives (USA troops) if a land war had been pursued in Japan, but that doesn't seem likely to have been the military course of action that would have happened anyhow atomic bomb or no atomic bomb. Do the lives of the innocent people in Japan count when you tally how many lives were lost or "saved" ?

If that is not the truth of it NOTHING is.

We must read our history. Alexander faced the same problem in the -stan. The guys you need to help you in the winter, and you pay them, are the same ones you will fight in the spring.

He almost never made it into India because of that.

In Viet Nam it was hearts and minds, but iron bombs, no aim.

So, bad for civilians? The Cong were brutal. Saddam was brutal. Arafat was a brutal thug.
Only in self rule do we even care beyond the military needs.

How stupid to think the art of war is not minimizing the deaths of the worker bee civilians.

I'm watching a show right now about it. Embedded, with a Marine Company with a hell fire, pencil pushing combat Capt on search and destroy mission are going to fantastic risks to even be on the ground when the could carpet bomb the entire valley.

They have to push and survive and re-supply and push and look and sneak and mine sweep and have a pair of tanks on the flanks. They go thru the walls like in WW2, everything is booby trapped.

And they finally triangulate on the command post by Observation of all these Tangos and their movements. They have Apaches at long distance and low hover observing through high power, under the tree lines.

Finally the are assured there are fighters and only fighters in the C&C but the still cannot attack.
They push by and ignore it for more chatter intel on the tango radios and get more triangualtion of the dirt bike movement take more rounds, find more IEDs.

Then when they have pushed past maybe 10K meters, the Taliban get a GPS battle rocket from mile away while they watch. Hard on Marines to just watch. But it is a Profession.

I'm glad you understand hearts and minds, it's a shame mcchrystal couldn't see his strategy through... Is that the National geo. show about 2/5 marines? I'm quite sure I was watching the same one where they were smashing down the walls of the compounds...

I'll see your Colonel Klink and raise you a General Goering

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Yes, sir. 2nd of the 5th. Quite something the lengths and the treasure gone through, to kill only the bad guys.

That Capt is something. We have a guy at work just like him, from the Gulf Wars.

I was born in the South Pacific in the years following the war....somewhere I have original newspaper clippings detailing how the Japanese soldiers hid out on islands for years because they were told if they surrendered they would be eaten...so there's always a war somewhere depending on who you ask. I just don't support them.

I appreciate your civility in our discussion...gotta go. PEACE.

Oh no im for sure an American , but im pretty sure in know who you are , retired?

Look , your generation never had to face what some others have, how much was the dollar worth when you where 16?

Your one hostile dude, you kinda remind me of the old union dudes who always voted democrat and never knew why but would despise you if you ever questioned anything, why? Because they never really understood it themselves.

The only hostility you see is in your mind. Try reading it in a soft gentle voice....see?

Why take this personal? I don't. I speak plainly and some don't hear hostility in it. You continue to sewer it into personal.

Maybe it is you, who are hostile, by accounts?

Hey, want was your draft number? How much gas line standing did you do? No students being massacred with battle rifles, now.

The dollar was down and so was pay. You make a $1000 stretch out forever, we did that same thing with $100.

I pick up and moved to CA with only $300 and my thumb. There are a million more financial opportunities now and free info on the Web how to do it.

We build the world for the childern to disrespect and cry about how much better it was before, as we used to do. As my dad did.

Japan chose to attack the USA in an unprovoked way and wage a campaign of conquest across the pacific ocean. Why dont you look into the warcrimes the Japanese army committed. Things like Japanese getting drunk and going down to the local hospital and slaughtering patients in their beds with machetes, the institutionalized rape of women, etc...

American lives were saved. If it was more than 1,000 it was good enough.

We continue to save them from the payback for Nanking. Everyone like omelets but want no eggs broken.

MacAurther hanged a bunch of them, and he hunted down the Bushido elements just as we continue against the Nazi in the Levant.

Japan prospers and the Gaza was to. Smarter enemies.

Coincidentally I just watched a movie about that on the military channel. they had taken Nanking and the city was offering no resistance when the Japanese suddenly decided to gun down 200,000 people in the streets. Classy move!!! How many people did the 2 nuclear bombs kill?
