I see we have that old problem again about if "it" should have been used or
not.. Well I did some research. I checked over the wanted adds in papers from Ca to Wa for Oct and Nov 1941. I did not see any adds from America asking another country to attack us. Ok we got that out of the way, We did not ask to be attacked or dragged into a war. We all agree on that???? The Japs did not honor the Geneva Convention, they did honor the rules of war. The Geneva Convention says treat the prisoners good, rules of war say kill all of the enemy. The japs thought it was a dishonor to surrender, that is why our men who did surrender were treated as badly as they were. (are we listening out there?) Tojo was a God to them and they gave it all for him and would have fought to the last man. I seem to remember many jumped off cliffs rather than surrender. As we did not start the war or want it, why should we have anymore Americans killed than was necessary?? Did we forget what the japs did in China? or in any other country they occupied.. And yes you can say this or that about the Jap civilians, but let me ask you a question, If we were invaded, as a civilian would you fight?? So do not say the Jap Civilians would not have fought. Remember Tojo was a God to them. {Think back to the concessions we made for him at the surrender} Yes they would have fought with sticks, pitch forks and any else they could have gotten their hands on, just as I would if this country was invaded. Would we have lost up to 1,000,000 men? Maybe less, maybe more. Patton was right, you win wars by making the enemy die for his country.. Remember Korea? Remember Nam? we lost our ass's there. A lot of good men died there because we were not ready, we did not think, we did not do that etc etc. When the 2nd bomb dropped all the fight was gone. We had Japan under control. Granted the A bomb is a nasty piece of work, but if the Japs had it they would have used it and more than 2 times. No I hope the bomb is never used again, or any thing like it, but it doesn't matter much as most countries have stuff worse than the A bomb, and they are not afraid to use it if givin the chance.. Oh by the way this was told to me by another person doing research on the last days of the war. I have not had a chance to check it out, so this is hear say. If we would have gone with the invasion of Japan, we would have set up on some of the closer islands near the base of Japan. Appox 1 to 1 and 1/2 months after we would have been getting set up a massive typhoon came through those islands. It wiped out everything and anything that would have been on the island.. If we would have been there this would have been a sign for the Japs to fight harder. Remember the Divine Wind, Kamikaze? This would have been taken as a sign from the Gods.. Nope I know it was justified.. Frank |
