Two thousand, three hundred, eighty-eight people were killed in Hawaii today
.... on Dec 7th 1941.
Which makes me feel sort of dumb being that I could'nt figure out why I saw so many Ford trucks driving around today with flags.
I have heard many people mention that one of the main reasons we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was in retaliation to the Japanese surprise attack of Pearl Harbor.
If the goal of using a nuclear weapon was to end WWII, why was it not dropped on Germany instead?
I know a lot of old timers and veterans who have ill feelings toward the Japanese for their attack on Pearl Harbor. Yes it was horible that they attacked us... but it "was" war, and a "was" a military base.
So what's the deal with dropping nuclear weapons on two large civilian cities? An estimated 250,000 Japanese were killed.
Could this be why the Japanese enjoy bukakkee so much?
