Difference between WW2 era U.S. command vs. today.

[daddy8ball]

Just got done reading a book on the Manhattan project and I thought I'd share these little known facts with Getbiggers.

As the U.S. command was debating the best method of showcasing the bomb, a debate actually took place on whether or not to FIREBOMB Hiroshima immediately after the nuclear strike. They wanted to send the message home.

Firebombing Hiroshima after the attack was ultimately nixed because we wanted the bombs destructive power to stand on its own.

We had only two bombs at the time we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki but we had more in the pipeline. The plan was to drop 6 BOMBS A MONTH on Japan until they surrendered.

The favored target after Nagasaki was Tokyo.

Contrast that today with the fact we can't fire on Taliban once they throw down their weapons.

From a play I did....

First we got the bomb, and that was good,
'Cause we love peace and motherhood.
Then Russia got the bomb, but that's okay,
'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way.
Who's next?

France got the bomb, but don't you grieve,
'Cause they're on our side (I believe).
China got the bomb, but have no fears,
They can't wipe us out for at least five years.
Who's next?

Then Indonesia claimed that they
Were gonna get one any day.
South Africa wants two, that's right:
One for the black and one for the white.
Who's next?

Egypt's gonna get one too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel's getting tense.
Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case, we better get a bomb.
Who's next?

Luxembourg is next to go,
And (who knows?) maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb.
Who's next?
Who's next?
Who's next?
Who's next?

I gotta say if there's one unhealthy obsession I have is how beautifully destructive an A-bomb is....it's just so fucking awesome watching the potential destruction...

You are really fucking stipid.  The entire meaning of Tom Lehrer song, "Who`s Next", was dark and blatantly ANTI NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION.  He also wrote many songs that pointed out the devastating effects of militarism and especially American militarism.
All this was lost on you.
You really are a dumbfuck.

Actually Adam, it is you that have for the upteenth time insert foot in mouth...All I said was this song was from a play I did....I saw the original post and it reminded me of the song...You being the pathetic imbecile you are made an ASSUMPTION that I was tying the original posters thread and the song together and I didn't...the post just reminded me of a play I did nothing more....I know what the song and ALL the songs from Tom Foolery are about....it's a comedy...you fucking idiot...a comedy for people with a little intellect...Kind of like "So long Mom"

So with that said....STFU go back to cooking and pretending and don't make assumptions because you made an ass out of yourself...once again...Continue to underestimate my intellect and I'll continue to reveal how idiotic you are.

You think he'll read that. He'll just ignore anything that don't expand is superior Jew ego.

Every time I own him which I do pretty much any time he opens his mouth and I respond...he'll leave...I think he truly believes I'm as simple as goodrum...
There is nothing he can really say because I hit the nail on the head...He'll tuck his tail between his legs and lick himself like an embarrassed feline and have a huckleberry pie with a sprig of mint

Lol I don't know why anyone even wastes time on that guy. I mean he's half way smart but is in lala land. I'd trust fatpanda before him. I'm probaly one of the few that reads every post in a thread before posting.

Oh, and when the Trinity test went off...

There was this student being taken to music lessons early in the morning, 30 miles away.

Flash!

"What was that she said"?

The driver looked at her in disbelief..because she was blind.

He's not dumb he just doesn't now how to use the info he has AND he repeats what he hears vs. drawing his own conclusions...kind of like Coach in politics... ...Sorry Coach...I had to get one in there.

Do you see what you wrote there?  And then you post Tom Lehrer.   It doesn`t make any sense whatsoever to use Lehrer`s song to illustrate a point that you do not understand or that was lost upon you.  You wouldn`t have quoted the song in this context for this thread to address your point if you knew the intention and the meaning of "Who`s Next".

Two separate thoughts Adam...Simple as that...Perhaps I'll spell it out for you next time....try and stay with me next time...Don't try and figure people out...You don't have the training and you don't know me well enough to try.

The reason I posted the song was because I think it's a brilliantly humorous song...Next thought was I like the way A-bombs look and sound when they go off...that's it...Quit over thinking things

Far as I'm concerned I've said my peace...You made a mistake, I called you out. You got owned....done. I won't even bring it up again but you're digging and sinking deeper into the swamp of dumb....again.

[daddy8ball]

I think proliferation was inevitable. When one reads the papers on the subject EVEN BEFORE the bomb ever came into existence, just as the theory became sound, the one constant message is this:

"We need one. Because if we don't, we have no effective deterrent for attack."

Time, and time again.

Why would you post two diametrically opposed thoughts and ideas and try to merge them into one coherent point which only makes sense if you are a five year old and like fireworks.


Tom Lehrer is not for someone who states: "I gotta say if there's one unhealthy obsession I have is how beautifully destructive an A-bomb is....it's just so fucking awesome watching the potential destruction...", which is precisely what you wrote.


I can only deduce that you don`t get it and the concept of irony is invisible to you.

I get it perfectly...I didn't post all my thoughts in separate posts like many...You're reading it as if it should be a thesis...It's not. It's an internet message forum...

You merged them into one thought. I kept them separate....You are angry you ended up looking like an asshole and moron...You are forgiven.

I understand you'll obsess over this and try to come at me from all angles to justify your point but it won't work..Just accept what I said and move on...it's no big deal..quit melting down...You do understand that I'm formally educated, well traveled and cultured?...Don't make the mistake of grouping me in with the "Jibba-Jabbas" or whatever the hell you say.

Wiggs, if I thought you weren't my friend... I just don't think I could bear it!

Adonis we all get what he meant, it's a pretty common sentiment, bombs are cool but they are also bad. Some might same the same about war. Actually. Most due. But keep believing your limited narrow minded liberal jew view of the world.
