Only sick people are happy and celebrate something like this.Truman did what needed to be done but there is no reason to rejoice unless you are just another chickenhawk psychopath. You think Truman who saw immense destruction during WW1 got giddy about it? |

People lost their lives, and those who survived the bombs, lived in excruciating pain for the rest of their lives. Do you really want to make light of this unfortunate event? Next time, THINK before you ever post something like this. It's downright offensive.Seriously. |

Posted by Avid Reader on Mon Aug 6 11:32:00 2012, in response to Happy Hiroshima Day, posted by Avid Reader on Mon Aug 6 10:09:42 2012. I REPEAT, HAPPY HIROSHIMA DAY.I had uncles that survived WW II , because the war was forced to a close. Those uncles went on to bring into this world a total of nine children. Those children in turn brought about more children. Untold millions of Japanese, on the plains of Tokyo, were able to do the same. Plainly put, the tools of war we had, out did their tools of war. It is not as if the Japanese weren't warned. They believed they could drag out the war, inflict horrible loses on the US Military , and get favorable terms. They were prepared to throw away civilian lives, and for what? HAPPY HIROSHIMA DAY!!! |

Invade Japan in the fall of 1945 (4 MILLION DEAD) 3. blockade Japan for several years before occupying it leading to millions of Japanese deaths. Truman actually took the least bloody alternative. |

Posted by Avid Reader on Mon Aug 6 19:29:50 2012, in response to Re: Happy Hiroshima Day, posted by tunnelrat on Mon Aug 6 19:14:06 2012. Very true.One of my uncles had enlisted with the US Army, for one year, in the early part of 1941. He was due to get out, but Dec.7th, extended his enlistment for the duration. He survived North Africa, and Normandy's Omaha beach, France, and Holland, then into Germany. Some, in his unit, were told they would be going to the Pacific. The US Army had some kind of Point system to get out. I Don't know where he stood. But Happy Hiroshima Day, took care of that. |

But he didn't get all happy about.He has said himself how gut-wrenching the decision was. He probably threw up right after the order. I would have. Truman was actually a great human being. Avid Reader is obviously not. |

Nobody was dancing after their dropping. You Liberals are in some kind of PC Denial. Harry Truman was the greatest of Liberals. Liberal Democrats won that war. The GOP sided with the Nazis until 1941. Wake up and kiss your lucky ass hello. I already said it was the right decision but I don't pop champagne on its anniversary. What next? A celebration on the anniversary of the Highway of Death? |

Truman made the right call and it did end the war. However, it's not something to be giddy about, but rather something to keep in mind about what war is all about. Soldiers don't celebrate the casualties they inflicted but celebrate that the war is over.Next time think before you post. your pal, Fred |

I was speaking in a greater generality than this though. There's nothing happy about it even though at the time the Japanese were not going to give it up. I agree that it was probably the one thing that stopped the war, but there's no joy to be had in mass killing of civilians. |

That, and their organic veggies come from a yuppie farm stand with air conditioning. They don't even know plants come from the earth, and meats must be slaughtered and cleaned. They are rear echelon scavengers, after the providers do the work. Just as they are rear echelon decision makers, while the combat arms do the fighting. |
