We should attack Japan. Then they would know what it's like to be attacked out of nowhere.

Anyone ever been the the Pearl Harbor memorial? It's strangely eerie how the wreck of the Arizona still leaks oil.

I have. I heard that the ship will continue to leak oil for many more years.

I'd be interested to go back to see the USS Missouri which has been turned into a museum like the USS Intrepid in NYC.

my grampa joined the army after that happened when he was only 17 years old and went thru hell in the pacific(the artillery cost him his hearing)

people still wanna get angry at us for dropping the bomb, but i think we should have. With the japanese and their damn bushido codes and culture, we would have had to go in there and basically kill every single japanese person..the war couldve gone on till the 60's

The people that threw themseleves(and were thrown off) the cliffs in Saipan and the fact we lost almost 50,000 people on Okinawa pretty much said we had to use it.

God rest their souls. God bless America.

Hear, hear! We owe them all a great debt...

I can't think of a better way to spend my 100th post than to dedicate it to all of our servicemen/women, past, present and future.

here's a song by Utopia...
I have no ill will against the Japanese, it's just an excellent song done by excellent musicians...

off the RA album:

Hiroshima


Under the rising sun dirty yellow children play
And in the red pagoda mamasan is praying
Blood wasted saving face, ancestors are looking on
As they wave their silver samurai underneath the big gun
Hiroshima, no one could imagine
Not the victors nor the victims
Pitiful survivors nor the pawn of a man
who had the button under his hand
No one would believe it
God, God is on our side, he placed the power in our hands
To teach the yellow peril, this is Christian mercy
Harry, Harry give 'em hell, give 'em hell one more time again
We'll show those axis powers how to make an oven [fry them]
Hiroshima, Nagasaki
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever fuckin' forget

This is the official voice of the United States of America addressing the
peoples of the islands of Japan. Tomorrow morning, on August 15th, 1945 at
exactly 8:15 am, we will bomb your cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with a
blast that will level these cities. This is the only alert you will receive.

it was right to drop the bomb on them. even more so the 2nd time. what really irks me is that we wouldnt be able to do the same thing today, because we'd have to take in the consideration of OTHERS.

God bless the Greatest Generation.

if you read most of the accounts of guys who were over there, most of them thanked God they never had to go fight in that place..their descriptions of the defenses are unbelieveable..

bottom line: more japs wouldve died if we hadnt dropped the bomb, more would have suffered, and more poor american boys would have died
