@Chrisbdg34Smith no Q in my mind we were defending ourselves + Axis wdve hit us if they'd had first

@Chrisbdg34Smith exactly General. Remember they didn't surrender after the first bomb was dropped

people don't realize it was either a lengthy, bloody island hopping campaign or nukes? That's disappointing

@Chrisbdg34Smith plus Japanese did not surrender even after Hiroshima.

listen to the general. it was used to SAVE lives, astonishingly. read about truman. not a warrior president, really.

@Chrisbdg34Smith. There is nothing more 21st century than some petulant hipster trying to shame war hero who fought nazis

@Chrisbdg34Smith don't argue with people that are smarter than u bc u will lose esp if they have General as their first name

Always amazing to me that some wish we could go back and do an invasion of Japan instead. My family likely wouldn't exist.

@Chrisbdg34Smith So easy to second guess excruciating decisions from the comfort of your basement.

@Chrisbdg34Smith visit Bataan Philippines and see what the Japanese were capable of, different fighting force.
