Hiroshima, 67 Years Ago Today...

I reckon making a mushroom cloud out of one of their military bases would have made just as firm a point as making a mushroom cloud out of the women and children of the civilian cities. We also could have gotten away with only one bomb had he firmly told them what we now had and used it once to prove it, instead we used vague terms of "surrender or face utter destruction", bombing one city then before they realized what had happened (at the time the government thought they had only lost communication lines with the city) we dropped another bomb before they had time to survey the destruction from the first. But hey a Jap is a Jap.

Yeah, same Jap that bombed Pearl Harbor and started the war with America, same Jap that murdered, raped civilian through out China, Southeast Asia, same Jap that consistently fight to the last man when resisting American advance towards mainland Japan, and same Jap that refused to surrender when given a chance.

Sorry, but you won't find much sympathy from me when the criminal don't get all the careful consideration, term and wording of surrender. If they didn't started the war that caused 50+ million people to die, maybe their few hundreds of thousand civilian would have been alive today.

I mean that Nagasaki gets so much less recognition.

If you'll make a thread for Nagasaki on Thursday, it'd make me feel a lot better.

I'm making one now due to the time zone difference, but Rumpltzer is correct:

“There are no ceremonies planned,” said local historian Don Farrell.

The atomic bomb that hastened the end of WWII was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan exactly 67 years ago today.
