If every Jap on Earth had been stood up against a wall and shot, it would have OK with most Americans at the time.
It would have been OK with me and my family I assure you. My Uncle is still on the USS Arizona.

You mess with the bull .. you'll often get the horn.

After you sneek into someones home and murder their children don't expect mercy.

60 yrs later you'll have the no1moron types to whine and attempt to rewrite history for you .. it's what lawyers do .. show up after the fact and look for a way to make some money from others misery.
Take it for what it is .. a lawyer running his mouth .. and you should know by now that is a sure sign .. he's lying.

You're an ignorant loudmouth. Deal with the fact that Eisenhower and most of the military leaders AT THE TIME thought the dropping of the A-bomb was unnecessary or shut your pretty mouth.

EDIT: You worry more about my job than anybody on Earth. Maybe you should find one that satisfies you (or any job at all) and then you'd stop being the pathetic troll that you are.

Right now i'm busy dealing with you .. a self proclaimed internet lawyer who's more full of crap than a Christmas turkey.
You lack credibilty .. even "lawyer" credibilty, which has a much lower standard.

Truman did the right thing .. for America and the free world.
How many Japs got fried is meaningless if it saved ONE American life.

Necessary? .. smesessary! It's fish or cut bait, and the devil take the hindmost.

I visited Hiroshima in 60' while in the Navy. The locals were very respectfull of my uniform, they'd all bow down when they saw me .. which is what you should be doing every time you see the red white and blue.
Ingrate.

Revise history all you like, as I say, that's what lawyers do. Next post I expect you to ask for 40 acres and a mule for every surviving Jap.
Go chase an ambulance puto.

That's 82 9-11's.

Just in case you are interested.
How many 9-11's was Pearl Harbor?

I feel a profound vomit (I'm not intending to be offensive) revolving my stomach.
My "science gods ...[text shortened]... enty of bucks and their somachs plenty of food.

I sincerely hope for a world where one man's decision can't cause the deaths of some many. I also hope that if they do make such a decision, they be truthful and not claim that causing this mass amount of death and destruction was a "military necessity" and that the targets were "military" ones. Let the truth come out; 60 years is long enough for lies.
I repeat: Your revisonism makes me feel a profound vomit (I'm not intending to be offensive) revolving my stomach.

You consider Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur and Admirals Leahy and King who expressed their opposition at the time as "revisionists"? Interesting. And BS.
Sounds like they needed their wetnurses, much like the Democrats today do.

Got to hand it to you jammer. An argument that you should win hands down; you lose due to statements like that.

Less than one. "There were a total of 2403 American casualties, including 68 civilians, most of them killed by improperly fused anti-aircraft shells landing in Honolulu. There were 1,178 military and civilian wounded." http://www.military.com/Resources/HistorySubmittedFileView?file=history_pearlharbor.htm

Is it? You need to review how desperately and to the man the Japanese fought on Okinawa and Iwo Jima. You're a punk and have no honor, nor do you understand strength, courage, sacrifice, etc.

You might find this article on Okinawa interesting...from a Japanese perspective... http://www.jpri.org/publications/workingpapers/wp48.html

One million dead U.S. service men and Japanese aggression/militarism would remain unchecked.

Nobody "wins an argument" here, but when I find myself lined up against the no1moron and petrosianspuke, I feel i'm on the right track.

You won't find a lot of compassion for the 1940's version of Japan here in the USA .. too many dead relatives at their hands.

Same with the 2000's version of Islam, Unlike most of W, Europe, we won't roll over and spread 'em in the face of a challenge.

If they need to be nuked .. we'll do it, and 60 yrs on your no1moron children can say (once again) how evil we are while they munch on BigMacs washed down with Coke .. diet, of course.

There is no rational justification for the slaughtering of so many civilians.
It was genocide, it was attrocious and anybody who thinks otherwise needs a shrink.
In the context of the war, there is no question that decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was necessary and correct. It spared many more lives than it took. Perhaps if the U.S. had the bomb earlier, it could have even been used to end the war in Europe.
