Bomber
Motörhead

Ain't a hope in Hell
Nothing's gonna bring us down
The way we fly
Five miles off the ground

Because
We shoot to kill
And you know we always will
It's a bomber, it's a bomber

Scream a thousand miles
Hear the black death rising moan
Firestorm coming closer
Napalm to the bone

Because
You know we do it right
A mission every night
It's a bomber, it's a bomber, it's a bomber

No night fighter
Gonna stop us getting through
The sirens make you shiver
You bet my aim is true

Because
You know we aim to please
Bring you to your knees
It's a bomber, it's a bomber, it's a bomber

Hell yeah they had to show Russia they had one.Then they had to show them they could make another one

Absolutely true trivia facts :

Japan claims that The ER-4, introduced by Toshiba on December 10, 1955 (or 1956), was the world's first automatic rice cooker.

This is a bit inaccurate because on August 6th and 9th 1945, the US exported the worlds largest automatic rice cooker to two of Japan's cities.

It needed to be done to end Japan as an enemy.  Trying to take the Islands with manpower would not have gone well.  Why waste even one of our own and flat out declare the war over with two displays of unrivaled power?

And the world was watching.  The Japanese have become an ally because we tend to help rebuild those we take down.

[IroNat]

Japs were sadistic bastards.

Fuck 'em.

Same reason the US took Iraq's name out of a hat and decided to invade it with made up claims of terrorist activities.

To someone without morals fear is all they know.

It's absolutely a case of breaking the rules, to prove you are the rules.

America couldn't allow Russia to think there was any forgiveness in the American heart. Just the same the USA couldn't allow countries like Russia to think they could use Islamic Terrorist as proxies. With terrorism it's incredibly hard to prove who is actually initialized the act. America said fuck it, we don't need proof you did it, it happening is enough proof.

Yep, the saying used to be "to the victor the spoils" now its "to the victor a fucking big rebuild bill"

Germany was made to pay us all back after WWI in addition to sanctions which sent the country broke and gave rise to Hitler who triggered WWII.

I dare say that might have influenced why the rebuild tactic after WWII was done.

Japs were sadistic bastards.

Fuck 'em.

They learned well from the British and Germans 

I wish Germans would have won the war
