MILLIONS OF JAPANESE WOULD LIVE BECAUSE NEARLY 200,000 DIED

65 years ago on August 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, the U.S. dropped a second nuclear bomb on the city of Nagasaki. The final death toll for Hiroshima was calculated at 135,000 and 50,000 for Nagasaki. Thousands more were seriously wounded, with many dying years later from radiation sickness.
 
The do-gooders and peaceniks of the world continue to condemn the U.S. for dropping those atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Fuck those idiots! Had we not resorted to the use of those atomic bombs, millions of Japanese would have died in the invasion of their homeland by U.S. military forces. Many thousands of Americans would have died as well. There was a good chance that I would have been one of those killed. That’s why I say, fuck all those people who condemn us for resorting to the use of nuclear weapons.
 
We do not owe the Japanese any apologies. They brought the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki upon themselves. They set out to conquer the Asian world. Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor. We fought back and they paid a heavy price for their misadventures. The atomic bombings resulted in the surrender of Japan and the end of WWII.
 
I, for one, am very grateful to President Harry Truman for the courage he found to give the go-ahead for the use of these awesome weapons. By doing so, Truman probably saved my life and millions of other lives as well..
