Poll: Most Americans Support Dropping WWII Atom Bombs

[a_joker10]

Amazing how the fire bombing of Tokyo is forgotten.

The Little boy and Fat Man bombs were buy far, less inhumane then the fire bombing.

The notion of Japan unconditionally surrendering before this happened is a joke.
They tried that in WW1 and all it caused was WW2.

Jag you should read some Canadian history. Sir Aurthur Currie wanted to roll into Berlin.
But the rest of the alliance pussied out. Even though Canada was spear heading the greatest 100 days.

As for the bombs you can look to Canadian technology, Heavy Water  and Uranium in making it happen.
It was our greatest nuclear achievement. Yet you don't hear much about it.

I think it was the idea that all those people died from 2 bombs.  Yet even after the fire bombings and the first nuke they didn't surrender.  Those Canadian divisions which i think were all volunteer were hard core.  If Monty doesn't screw up on Market Garden, maybe history is different.

Try, 1,000,000+ dead.  

I was going to use a higher number, but I figured the "all-knowing seller of gas caps" would probably refute that with some estimate she made based off her own research. Either way, 100k or 1 million+, still too many American lives to not drop the bomb.

thats right and is all that needs to be said to "a surrender is a surrender"  very amusing some of the idiocy from 240, parker and jag in this thread is.

[240 is Back]

I'm okay with nuking them.  Our president had far more info than we did.  Did what we had to do.

My own preference is that he would have gone on tv in early 1941 and just straight up told Americans to man the fck up, we're going to help Europe because ger will be at our doorstep next.  Or, at worst, made up some BS explosion that kills nobody, and blame german U-boats.  

Dropping the ball on intel so that 3000 soldiers die, to rally americans, is lame.

Once a CT'er always a CT'er   ;D

Oh yeah, and nice sarcasm in the beginning.

[headhuntersix]

Or attacking Russia opening a 2 front war, letting the English escape at Dunkirk, insisting the Me-262 become a bomber, building expensive tanks and rushing them into service, Kursk, Stalingrad, Panzer divisions outside of Caen, and the list goes on and on.  

Or Japan repressing and oppressing the Filipinos when there was already anit-american sentiment, starting a war with the hopes of suing for peace.  

Absolutely....but don't post too much TA will feel left out and quickly post some drivel to show us how smart he is.

Monty got alot of Paratroopers killed. Dismounts against SS Panzer's doesn't work.

youre a fuking idiot you know that?

[headhuntersix]

240 do u have any idea how intel worked back then. They lost an entire fleet, radar was rudimentary, and couldn't detect Carrier launched aircraft let alone several carrier battlegroups. Bud u need to disconnect the net and spend a month reading ur history, military as well as political...and get back to us.

[grab an umbrella]

Do you think the war would have been different had hitler chosen not to invade Russia(obviously, but in what regards)?

[headhuntersix]

Without going into detail...look at the Order of Battle (stuff) that went against Russia. Now picture that hitting England. Or how about a 2 year delay..one year even. Now u might have King tigers, rockets and Jets. U might have every German Grunt armed with an StG 44 (forrunner of the AK-47). U might have a German controled N. Africa. Germany needed oil and Russia had it, so its more of a question of delay rather then never invading.

The irony about Caen is that it was viewed as an almost complete failure by Canada because the Rest of the Allies moved so quickly past it.
Only later did the Allies realize how they benefited, Hitler hated Canadians.

My Great Uncle died there in Falaise Gap. Went there 2 years ago. Beautiful Country.

Whats left of the old timers there still really appreciate  America and the Allies.

The end for Germany was about November 1941.
They had no more money, very little oil, there equipment was getting obsolete and the U-Boats didn't win the war of the Atlantic and the US was about to enter the War.
1940 was terrible for the allies.

Even the young families.
Almost all of the War Graves are taken care of buy school age children for part of the year.
Met some of the nicest people there.
Once they hear a North American accent they know why you are there and appreciative of why you came.

[Dos Equis]

In the bottom right area of a page of a thread on a board you mod, there should be an "add poll" button.

Just press the one in this thread and make your poll.  I'm pretty sure it will show up at the top of the first page of this thread. 

Thanks Stella.  Done!    

You can all cast your votes.

Yup...its nice. See Jag, people actually appreciate us.

[Kazan]

No I mean simpletons like you who prefer their ignorance to the truth.

Greater minds than you or I have thoroughly researched this product and the technology.
If scientist's saw fit to award it a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, who are you to question it?

Really I can't find a fucking thing about these MPGcaps that gives more than a hard sell. I bet you don't even know what the "pills" are made of. They were designed for/by NASA? Really I wasn't aware rockets or the space shuttle used gasoline or diesel engines. Oh and then there are the complaints about fuel systems damage.

[OzmO]

9 to 1?

Wow!


Who wants to guess who the one was?

Liberal mindset? So Patton & McCarthur were liberals? ok. And no, US soldiers wouldn't have gotten slaughtered. the Russians would have gotten there first. in any event, the war was ending. Those were needless massacres.

Which chemist won the Nobel Prize for designing gas caps? I'd love to read about them. 

[headhuntersix]

This guy..he lives with jag in her make-believe world.

[OzmO]

So far we have 2 people who have voted either to keep Japans war mongering government in power that brutally invaded nearly every Island in the south pacific and the far east or send 1,000,000 soldiers to their death while we keep fire bombing Japanese killing more then the nukes did.

Bravo!

It must feel so surreal to live in LA LA land where the fuzzy bunnies rule.

[headhuntersix]

Yup......there are several members who live there,

Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.


Thats were Jag lives.

Did you see any giggle drops lying around?
