re: The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Animated

Don’t start none there won’t be none

It’s crazy that you post such stupidity with such an air of certainty. We DID NOT target civilians. We targeted the home base of the Japanese 2nd army and 2 major hubs of manufacturing(textile and steel). We were handicapping their war effort while also showing that we had weapons that were undreamt of at that time. The US literally dropped leaflets in the weeks leading up to the bombing, warning citizens to evacuate the area.
I get that some professor told you that we were war criminals that targeted civilians in order to do the most evil possible….but he was wrong and so are you.

P.S. the US made great efforts to stay out of the war all together. Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor before any declarations of war. That was a war crime

Watch the anime movie ‘Grave of the Fireflies’.

It’s a masterpiece about the bombings and the aftermath.

My question was rhetorical.

I’ll throw this in here as a diversion, my uncle was a radar observer on the B-29 “Dangerous Lady” stationed on Tinian at the time of the 2 atomic bomb missions.

He was an amateur photographer and he took these photos, after the 2 atomic bomb missions, of the Enola Gay and Great Artiste, as prior to the missions it was all top secret. (I took photos of these from his photo album, and those are his written notations). He obviously wasn’t aware at the time that the Great Artiste flew both atomic bomb missions. He didn’t have a photo in his album of “BoxCar” that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki.

He did tell my father, who was in the Navy at that time and stationed at Subic Bay, Philippines, that his B-29 Dangerous Lady flew a mission to Japan and they passed over Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped and he described the city as being a “burning cinder”. He also told my father that the part of the airfield where the atomic bomb planes were located, prior to the two missions, was cordoned off and secure and highly guarded, and there were rumors that something “big” was going to be happening but they didn’t know what.



Uncle on left, Dad on right, Subic Bay, Philippines, late 1945 after Japan surrendered and my uncle was transferred from Tinian to Clark airfield prior to being shipped home, and the two brothers were able to hook up.

It's amazing you have gotten dumber with each post in this thread. I think you've hit bottom with the post I've quoted.

Holy frick...

It’s hardly novel information that the FDR administration was looking for an excuse to enter the war. Some of you are so pissy that you’re thinking I’m saying stuff that I haven’t.
