You might want to get a refund on whatever history books you've been reading in reference to WWII!!

England and Britain are very different things if you want to talk about history. don't include the Scots, Welsh or Irish if you want to use that arguement because the Celts had nothing to do with it with the 'British' empire.

ever heard of a little place called dunkirk?? yeah, right. now the russians, they held off the germans more than you F**king brits did. all you guys did was F**k up at market garden, and go hide in your bombies while the rockets fell on jolly ole london. right.

?

the R**e of nanking, the bataan death march, the awful treatment of allied p.o.w., execution of australian nurses, jap sub sinking hospital ship off brisbane, using babys for bayonet practice in the phillipines ....... the list is HUGE !! if the p.o.w. i spoke too had their way, japan would of been carpet bombed with nukes until it was glow in the dark bare rock .
to see my opinion about the nukes, go to kamikaze attacks at okinawa and read my comments

I must admit I found interesting your theory about US military show off towards Stalin to prevent the invasion of Western Europe, I didn’t know there was so high tension between those two superpower so early. I will definitely look more into it.
I don’t dispute the atrocities committed by the Japanese under the WW2, specially the murdering of pregnant females in northern China jumps into my mind as one of the worst. But in my opinion the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima is biggest atrocity committed against humankind, pretty close followed by the bombing (incendiary bombs) of Dresden. The common denominator for these events is the mass murdering of civilians. I don’t mean either that is all bad, of course something good came out of it (the surrender of the Japanese and German troops, and the discouragement of Stalin to invade WE.) but the price, ah the price, was too high.
What saddens me is the glorification by certain individuals of those events, justifying the actions committed by referring to a simplistic analogy written in the Bible “An eye for eye”. To be able to commit such atrocities one has to demonise the enemy, thus forgetting they are humans and eventually legitimating the use of WMD against civilians. These are worrisome symptoms I see today on the net, especially among US citizens (of course not all of them) when referring to Muslims and the war in Iraq.
Another factor is that history is usually written by the victorious part, thus very seldom they would criticise their own actions, even the atrocities, and again you can only do that is you still demonise those who lost the war so the shame of that atrocity wouldn’t overwhelm their spirits.
But I do see the potential in the western world to come to terms, admitting there were atrocities committed in both sides, and learning from it so it never happens again.

How many lives would have been lost, on both sides, in an invasion of Japan. Rethink your position, those atomic bombs probably saved more lives than they took.

LOA KULU MASSACRE (July 30, 1945)

After surrendering to overwhelming numbers of Japanese troops, around one hundred members of the Netherlands East Indies Army were disarmed and for a while permitted restricted freedom in the town of Samarinda, in Borneo, where most of the soldiers lived with their families. Early on the morning of July 30, all prisoners, including their families, were rounded up and taken before a Japanese officer who summarily sentenced them all to death. No reason was given as they were bundled into lorries and taken to Loa Kulu just outside the town. There they had their hands tied behind their backs and as the men and children watched, the women were systematically cut to pieces with swords and bayonets until they all died. The screaming children were then seized and hurled alive down a 600 foot deep mine shaft. The men captives, forced to kneel and witness the butchery of their wives and children, and suffering the most indescribable mental torture, were then lined up for execution by beheading. When the grisly ritual was over, the bloodied corpses and severed heads of the 144 men were then thrown down the mine shaft on top of their murdered wives and children. The horror of Loa Kulu was discovered by Australian troops who had earlier started a search for the missing Dutch soldiers.

go and look how big the pacific list is

PHILIPPINES MASSACRE

A full account of all massacres of Filipinos by Japanese troops would fill several books. At the War Crimes Trial in Tokyo, document No 2726 consisted of 14,618 pages of sworn affidavits, each describing separate atrocities committed by the invading Japanese troops. The Tribunal listed 72 large scale massacres and 131,028 murders as a bare minimum

japan should be gratefull that it exists now, what if china had nukes in 1945 ?
The Chinese Department of Defense claims that 1,319,659 Chinese soldiers were killed between 1937 and 1945. It estimates the number of Chinese civilians killed during this period at over 30,000,000

Are you serious? The nuking of Japan saved millions of Japan's citzens and 700,000-1,000,000 Americian service men,including my dad.Get real Magua.

we only used those weapons because the japs werent going to sign the peace treaty. so we signed it for them. haha damn japs

Dead civilians=dead enemies. The bomb made the bullshit quit really quick. Too bad we fight with gloves on now. War S**ks but if you're forced into it you have you shouldn't be politcally correct about it.
