rrman,

Were I Truman, I would have "nuked" Hiroshima and Nagasaki too.
And I'm not embarrassed to say that. After all, more Japanese were killed in the firebombing raids over Tokyo than died in both nuclear blasts.

And it was far better than taking a million casualties trying invading the Japanese home islands. (Operation: Olympic)

Btw, have you ever taken the time to research Unit 731??

It's something the Japanese are too proud about (and neither should the US be since we let the scientists who were part of that unit off scot-free with no prosecution for war crimes.)

We derived a huge amount of biological warfare info from the Japanese who ran Unit 731. Had we not obtained that ill-gotten data it could have left us far behind the Soviets who had captured Nazi scientists. It was a deal with the devil.

Personally, I would have pardoned them from war crimes, grabbed the bio-war data we needed, and then later had each and everyone of the bastards meet an untimely accident.

Survival of the race has no time for conscience. At the end of the final knock-down drapout war, only the strong or smart will survive.

Regards,

Ron
