And that was done - but during WW2 the only way to get the Japanese to cease was to direct the war against the civilian population and although they did suffer greatly (and there were many that could be consider innocents) there was poetic justice served for the earlier atrocities their fellow countrymen committed through out the Pacific, that's the point here....The families of murdered POW's should direct their anger at the individuals that committed the crimes.
Amen brother!Speaking of Atomic Bombs, on August 9th Nagasaki comes to mind. And with a completely clear conscience
Yes yes i seem to agree with mostly everything here !!!
Ignorence is bliss !!!!!!
" To those of us who had been fighting the war for years the prospect of being ordered to invade Japan, and knowing the thousands and thousands of soldiers who would die carrying out those orders, was it little wonder that we all cheered at the news of the Atomic bombs being dropped and the chance of going home in one piece. It's easy to critisis 60 years later from an arm chair "

My opinion:
It was OK to throw the first one to finish the war.
I'm not sure, that it was OK to throw the second one.
Some says, they throw them only to proof, that a Plutonium bomb works as good as a Uranium bomb.
Perhaps this is true. Perhaps not.
Perhaps they needed only to wait for few days.
Perhaps they could do the same if they would throw out several thousands of flyer with a picture of the second one over Tokyo.
I think, it would be worth to discuss about.

Perhaps they should throw some flyers with the picture of the first, the second bomb and with the atomic cloud over Hiroshima.
Like I said in another thread, I've got a 100% clear conscience about the atomic raids. I don't care what the Japanese knew or thought about the attacks. American lives saved, enough said!
Agreed 100%. It is real easy for people from another nation (that were not in a war with Japan at the time) to reflect back and comdemn the US for it. Frankly I dont give a **** what they think.
