"We don't know, even today, what would have happened if we hadn't dropped the bombs."
We know that the Japanese would have surrendered regardless of the bombs....and regardless of ANYTHING else.
"Truman made a very hard call in a very difficult situation, where he did not have any of the benefit of hindsight"
What does that have to do with discussing the motives and the morals of his call??
"I think he made the right call But even if he had made the wrong call, there is no basis for impugning his integrity or attacking his character"
You are judging him. Have you heard of the first amendment, Dummy?? Do you believe that only you have the right to think, to speak, and to judge???
"there is no basis for impugning his integrity or attacking his character. That's cowardly behavior"
That is absolute ignorant...nose full of poo poo! The freedom to think gives people the right to judge as you are doing. You know nothing about America you little Hitler fella.
"That's cowardly behavior, generally only engaged in by people who have never had to, and expect never to have to, face enemy fire, but can sit on their comfortable chairs in their warm houses in front of their glowing computer screens"
Why is the first amendment cowardly?? You sit in front of your computer screen judging; but everyone else is to be dictated to by whatever fascist idiot can get away with shooting off his authoritarian mouth??
"throwing out brickbats at people whose courageous responses to some of the greatest horrors the world have ever seen are what enable them to be around today living in free countries with the opportunity to thrown those brickbats."
You don't seem to appreciate what they fought for: the right to throw out brickbats...as you are always doing.
You have every right to think and to judge: that is the first amendment. You also have every right to be an idiot: that is nature and nurture...
Nothing of the pablum language you were spitting had anything to do with our discussion of how the events closing the Pacific war ought best to be evaluated...by INTELLIGENT people.
I am pleased that you are so judgmental. But I am disappointed that you do not believe that others have the right to think; and I am disappointed that your thought is so unsubstantiated and unsupported by the facts.
In the next ten years many facts will come out, Dummy. Perhaps you will want to spout your racist garbage then... |
