Saw a fascinating show re: after the A-bombs how the military had different factions like in Germany. The realists knew it was all over, the fanatics wanted to drown Japan in blood, they even had pitched battles before the sane ones prevailed.

I think Japanese soldiers had started to surrender during the loss of Okinawa but I think it is totally reasonable to say invading the mainland would have been a suicidal bloodbath. I don't think we really understand the religious fundamentalism of the time and it's power. Hirohito was no Hitler, his power was not born of his Trumpian con job abilities, his power was born of religion, he could have been a animated lasagne and people would have followed. I think the fact that civilians had never heard his voice till his surrender radio announcement perfectly illustrates his mythical power. People died for him not ever hearing a word from his mouth.
I wonder how many people have been killed by Russian bombs in Syria, they have turned cities to rubble thus the toll is huge. I find it disturbing the general silence about the Russian bombing. I guess people think the victims are all Isis so it doesn't matter.
Ahahahah "Timber-nigger" (is it it "nigga")?? Thanks for teaching me a new way to dehuminize American Indians when they irritate me (which isn't very often compared to other races, lets face it)
A lot of them are just as racist. White Christian Nationalists. From what I've read, that's why they like Russia so much, too. Wish they'd all just Fuck Off over there already, and leave the rest of us alone!
I'm not a Native American, so Timber N- is a new variation for me. However, I did hear Prairie N- used in a movie once (ThunderHeart maybe?). It was understood that the character using the term was a racist douche. I really hate this shit.
Operation Certain Coronet the invasion of Kyushu and and Honshu, was projected to cost 1 miilion US casualties and 10 Million Japanese
They would have had entire fleets of ships carrying cold plasma offshore out of Kamikaze range. My Dad survived Okinawa barely he probably wouldn’t have survived Japan. It was a necessary evil to save more lives in the long run by ending the war

Call it "Orange is the New Black".

Or the Yezhovshchina. Yeah, Russians have a long list of reasons as to why they should STFU about anybody else's crimes.

"Necessary Evil" was the name of one of the planes that accompanied the Enola Gay. The irony is huge.
Yep. We almost killed our own soldiers, too, Kurt Vonnegut being one of them.
That ship has sailed
Hitler was a brave soldier and knew his history
Like Trump, he liked the young stuff
Dresden was absolutely unnecessary, revenge killing of civilians
Beg to differ

“And the Cousin y’all ride in on”
Maybe they hired some foreign workers to lift them over those ones.
