    The city of Hiroshima, Japan, marks the 73rd anniversary of the atomic bombing by the United States during World War II on August 6, 1945. An estimated 140,000 people were killed by the attack. https://cbsn.ws/2MouR6s pic.twitter.com/ifBA9jOzkH

        I would imagine the Japanese people here are just remembering family members lost in the bombing. That's all they are doing. They are not responsible for what happened 77 years ago. They are much like anyone, anywhere, who remember their ancestors. Let them be.

        Millions were saved by not having an invasion of Japan. No good choices. ☹️

        Let us not forget the countless humans slaughtered by the Japanese army before America stopped it.

        Not even that we gave them all kinds of chances to surrender and they were too stubborn and prideful. Sorry not sorry.

        I know many more American & Japanese lives were ultimately saved but this still so very sad to watch.

        In the spring of 1945, before the atomic bombs were available, the US military command did a projection on the conventional bombing campaign against Japan (had to draw up a materials budget). The projection was that by spring 1946, there would be NO targets left to bomb.

        Funny how liberals always forget: Casualties were estimated to be up to 500,000 US soldiers & potentially several million Japanese during another year of war had the bomb not ended the conflict!

        Liberals also fail to mention it was a Democrat President (Truman) that ordered the bombs be dropped.

        Yes but I honestly don't believe it was a left or right decision. It was a President responsible for millions of young Americans and trying to minimize the casualties. And by doing so, he inadvertently probably saved millions of Japanese lives in the process.
