This week marks the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima. I think it was 10 or so years ago when John Stewart famously said Harry Truman was a war criminal as a result. If I recall correctly, he walked it back a day or two later. What say you?
Nuking them wasn't the worst thing we did to Japan. We firebombed their cities with the express intent of killing as many civilians as possible. Curtis LeMay should have been tried as a war criminal by any standard.This week marks the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima.

At that point, we were far from desperate, we could have overrun Japan and yes a lot of Americans would have died but Japan didn't stand a chance in a longer war. They weren't at our doorstep, we were at theirs.The Japanese were going to fight to the death. We were desperate, they were desperate.
Was Sherman anti war criminal?This week marks the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima. I think it was 10 or so years ago when John Stewart famously said Harry Truman was a war criminal as a result. If I recall correctly, he backed off that assessment day or two later. What say you?
Most of Japanese and German Nazi war criminals were executed. The Japanese executed a whole Chinese cities population and German fire bombed London. Those war criminal got what they deserved.Nuking them wasn't the worst thing we did to Japan. We firebombed their cities with the express intent of killing as many civilians as possible.

Highlighted above^^ All major wars in the 20th century a democrat was president resulting in over 630K US combat death and a couple million on the other side during those wars. Do you consider any of them as war criminals or a piece of shit?I think certain presidents can be considered war criminals. We just tend to excuse them because they are our presidents. I think Andrew Jackson was among many criminal presidents. I dont think a lot of people have any ability to discern what is necessary which leads to the kind of shit we have now.
We tend to excuse everything under “the president did it, its war, its justified”
Good thing GOPs Eisenhower and Nixon BEGAN the nuclearizarion of NATO in 1953, along with installing Jupiter’s FIRST in 1957 dangerous Turkey, precipitating the Cuban missile crisis.This week marks the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima.

America's not good at fighting a long-drawn war on attrition trying to stamp out the last 10-15% who's willing to die for the cause. Best to just end this with a grand finale where everyone know who won and who lost.At that point, we were far from desperate, we could have overrun Japan and yes a lot of Americans would have died but Japan didn't stand a chance in a longer war. They weren't at our doorstep, we were at theirs.
Absolutely NOT a war criminal.This week marks the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima. I think it was 10 or so years ago when John Stewart famously said Harry Truman was a war criminal as a result. If I recall correctly, he backed off that assessment day or two later. What say you?
How about this: would it have been better for several hundred thousand Americans KIA and untold millions of Japanese killed defending their homeland in an invasion than dropping the bombs which in the long run saved livesAt that point, we were far from desperate, we could have overrun Japan and yes a lot of Americans would have died but Japan didn't stand a chance in a longer war. They weren't at our doorstep, we were at theirs.
Stick with the subject please. Or is it beyond your ability?Good thing IKE, Nixon, the 1920’s GOP, and the McKinley pirates screwed up the western hemisphere.
Banana Republicans installed reich-wing dictators who sold drugs to the
The GOP’s dictators stole the land from the peasants and murdered them.
The GOP created the northern migration to work thefields for their GOP farmers, ranchers, and donors.
It’s the radical republicans and United Fruit Company back to 1871.
Your "good things" are sarcastic and not very helpful in understanding post-WW IIGood thing GOPs Eisenhower and Nixon BEGAN the nuclearizarion of NATO in 1953, along with installing Jupiter’s FIRST in 1957 dangerous Turkey, precipitating the Cuban missile crisis.
Republicans, and reciprocal responses from China, Russia, etc, have wasted hundreds of trillions since these IKE/Nixon death machine’s decision 72 years ago.
Good thing IKE and especially Nixon ****ed up Iran both in the ‘50’s and early ‘70’s.
Good thing IKE/Nixon took over the Southeast Asian wars from the French.
Good thing Republicowards sat out WWII, siding with Hitler, whose Mussolini fascism came to power during the GOP’s disastrous, corrupt, and depression-causing 1920’s.
Maybe a little Eisenhower on top, razing German cities being a bit too much for freedom’s stomach.Absolutely NOT a war criminal.
Two A-bombs were dropped and the Japanese capitulated without further conflict.
It was a means to an end.
And let's not have meaningless bullshit discussions where those against the bomb argue, year after year, the Japanese were going to give up anyway.
Let's all be thankful the Japanese Emperor was not found in the palace by the war-hungry military leaders and killed before he could create his announcement to surrender and have it broadcast throughout Japan.

Everyone knows what radical republicans have done to the world since allowing the assassination of Lincoln.Your "good things" are sarcastic and not very helpful in understanding post-WW II
history.
My response is that Truman was not a war criminal. How does that make me “radical republican ilk”? Your political diatribes don’t answer anything other than assuage your own biased political hatred.Hit the contact button since you're not a moderator, @gman
Blaming Truman as a Dem, and splitting D’s, is to be expected from a reich-wing OP.
Look at the sordid history of your radical republican ilk since they helped assassinate Lincoln.
Picky, picky, pickyA bomb, not THE bomb.
THE bomb is thermonuclear and leaves a big mushroom cloud.
