    Apparently you're not much into studying history in its entirety & have refused to read the article I cited.
    Please name those
    that were left to Japan

    Then, go back to watching your simple-minded TV War movies.

    Yes, because of the A bomb

    Everyone would surrender after an atomic bomb. By that definition we should use them in every conflict

    The most obvious:
    They could have withdrawn from mainland Asia, specifically China
    Do that and the economic sanctions end; Japan suddenly has all the resources it needs.
    Instead, they -chose- to attack the US and gobble up as much of SE Asia as they could.

    The proposition that the US somehow forced Japan into going to war is, on every level, unsupportable revisionist nonsense.

    Two of them, with the assumption more were on the way.

    For a people that is supposedly so rabid, I believe they're one of the tamest occupied country that ever existed. I don't know how they do - must be shintoism or such spirituality. If I were them, I'd try and petard your arse any way I could. I would have gone all jewish on you, dude.

    Mass carpet bombing are exactly the same crime. As for the invasion one is a totally bogus claim. As I posted, Japan was already crumbling - a few more days sitting on it would have wielded the very same results. The real nation you wanted to submit at the end of it all were the Reds.

    They also said that about nazi medical experiments.

    Depends which gods you praise to, IMO.

    There is no PROBABLY about it. It saved millions of civilian and military lives. Far more civilians were killed in the carpet bombing of Tokyo than were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    But it was unecessary. Japan was finished. We committed a genocide to make a point.....to the Russians

    I would have poured a tall glass of whiskey, lit a cigar, and smiled, before ordering to drop the A bombs on the Japanese back then. Would have been a proud moment.

    I'd kick my feet up, find some chick to make out with, and celebrate ending the war. Would be a crowning achievement.

    Well sir, the very nature of wars of this magnitude can never be very nice.

    We fought ww2 to win it, for the alternative would have been the end of the USA.

    War will always be hell and the most humane thing is to get it over with asap. The A bomb thankfully helped this to happen.

    Be thankful we got it first.

    Japan may be getting some unintentional revenge given Fukishima since the radioactive waters are still flowing into the pacific.

    Business was great. Won us a war. Which is why most of us would do it all over again.

    So I'm supposed to put my profession above the safety of our country? No way. Let's nuke our enemies and I'll go back to living at home. That's a fair trade for safety.

    I am curious. If we had the nuclear weapons we have now....wea pons that could kill every single Japanese. ...should we have used them? The war is guaranteed to be over....right?

    that is misleading to justify its use, the rich in japan were heartbroken when they saw their poor civilians die by the nuclear bomb.

    they trained their people to die honorable deaths for the rich in battle, such as kamikaze missions.

    Americans brainwashed by winston churchill of england dishonorably nuclear bombed both the rich gods of japan, along with their poor slaves, without prejudice.

    Free room and board? Free sandwiches? Free alcohol? AND we'd get to nuke China? Point out anything negative in this scenario. It all sounds awesome!
