Hiroshima Remembered (70th Anniv)

Just the icing on the cake of 4 years of the US fire bombing old people, women and children.
It was a solemn day here. I want to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki but don't know if I could handle it.

Thats crazy

Absolutely horrible. It is amazing that they lived to be 80 years old and didn't die of something in their 40s.

From the above:

"HIROSHIMA, Japan — The crowd sat entranced as 78-year-old Emiko Okada recalled the horrifying events of Aug. 6, 1945, a day that started hot and cloudless. There was the buzz of the plane, the huge flash, the cries for water, the kids like ghosts with skin dangling off them, the people with their guts hanging out."

aggressive bitches get bitchslapped. they'll think 2x before they try to take over the Pacific again.

and don't ever make it out like we just out of the blue flew 10,000 fucking miles to bomb japan for shits and giggles.

70 years ago today America halted an aggressive country from their attempt to violently take over the entire Pacific.

congrats USA

This is remarkable... Tiny lady survives most horrifying thing ever happen for a so long... Her story mustn't be forgotten...

I went to Hiroshima earlier this year. It's not something I'll soon forget.

Back when USA didn't take shit from anyone. Piss us off and we leave your country in a crater. We need to get back to being the alpha male instead of the bitch getting pushed around from shithole third world countries like China

Just one political miscalculation and that's all of us fried...

Maybe the next assault will be your city and they'll say:

"they'll think 2x before they try to take over a muslim country again."

(same shit, different time)

The question is...... will you still feel that it was the right decision to drop the bomb on innocent civilians when a million of your own country people are evaporated? Maybe you're right to say "aggressive bitches get bitch slapped...."

How, when everyone raises there kids to be bitch sheep.

Or, like in alot of ghettos, not enough.

you're making a huge fallacy, you are looking back on history from the view of now, not then.

you do realize there was no such thing as precision bombs in 1941 right? you do realize warfare was carried out on cities across every single battle zone across the entire world in ww2 right?

and most certainly you realize the Japs were the aggressor nation and the atrocities they committed across the Pacific are almost unspeakable right?

and finally, since you celebrate Hiroshima, you must also celebrate Berlin right? 100,000 + civilian Nazis killed in Battle of Berlin. what day was that?

Battle of Okinawa (the last stepping stone to the US invasion of mainland Japan)

"
During the 1945 battle, the Japanese Army showed indifference to Okinawans' safety, and its soldiers even used civilians as human shields against the Americans, or just outright murdered them. Japanese military confiscated food from the Okinawans and executed those who hid it, leading to a mass starvation among the population, and forced civilians out of their shelters.

Japanese soldiers also killed about 1,000 people who spoke in the Okinawan language in order to suppress spying. The museum writes that "some were blown apart by [artillery] shells, some finding themselves in a hopeless situation were driven to suicide, some died of starvation, some succumbed to malaria, while others fell victim to the retreating Japanese troops."


and as for all those poor civilians we nuked? heads-up, the jap emperor conscripted a shit ton of them and armed them and instructed them to fight to the death when the horrible Americans get there. 28 million civilians, in fact

"
In April 1945, the Japanese cabinet resolved on reforming Kokumin Giyūtai into civilian militia. In June, the cabinet passed a special conscription law, and named the militia units Volunteer Fighting Corps (国民義勇戦闘隊 Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai?).

The Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai would be organized, if the Allied landing unit close to the Japanese homeland. Governors of Prefectures could conscript all male civilians between the ages of 15 to 60 years, and unmarried females of 17 to 40 years. Commanders were appointed from retired military personnel and civilians with weapons experience.

Combat training sessions were held. But, the Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai was primarily assigned to support tasks such as construction, transportation and rationing.

The Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai was intended as main reserve along with a "second defense line" for Japanese forces to sustain a war of attrition against invading forces. After the Allied invasion, these forces were intended to form resistance or guerilla warfare cells in cities, towns, or mountains.

Strength
Some 28,000,000 men and women were considered "combat capable" by the end of June 1945, yet only about 2,000,000 of them were recruited when the war ended, and most of them did not experience combat due to Japan's surrender before the Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands. The Battle of Okinawa took place before the formation of Volunteer Fighting Corps. At this stage of the war, the lack of modern weaponry and ammunition meant that most were armed with swords or even bamboo spears.
