Thank you for your scholarship on the subject. I wonder why that PhD candidate from George Washington Univ, who was the presentor at the Enola Gaye exhibit at the Smithsonian, was not aware of the knowledge you and I have on the subject. Almost seems like a pre-determined agenda.

Anyway, my questions embarrassed her in front of a very largw crowd. What haunts me is that our tax dollars were paying for her to keep spewing her distortions. That was one showing of several that day, everyday.

Thank you for answering a question I’ve had for a while. If you remember, when the Smithsonian was setting up the Enola Gay exhibit they wanted to display it in the most politically correct way possible but lost that battle last I heard. I was wondering what the left was going to do as they're not good losers and it seems in this case they made sure the guide spouts the “America bad” liberal line.

I read an article on the exhibit controversy several years ago. The head of the project was trying to defend the politically correct display of the Enola Gay the left was trying to get. His biggest argument was that it's not the job of the Smithsonian to showcase America in the best light possible. Turns out he was 100% wrong. It's in the Smithsonian's charter that they are supposed to show America at it's best.

These moonbats are racists pure and simple.

They have no regard for all of the people dying in slave labor camps in all of the areas conquered by the Japanese.
Chinese, Koreans, and others dying by the hundreds if not thousands every few days.

[Chgogal]

“I have no patience with people who whine about Hiroshima. There would have been hundreds of thousands more people killed without the bomb. “

Ditto that. Please let you uncle know how much his service and his buddies’ services are appreciated.

My great-uncle (Dutch) and a family friend (Dutch) survived the Japanese POW camps, by some miracle.

Thank you for your reply. You mentioned the “talks.” Well, Hitler used it to his advantage to take over most of Europe... nobody wanted to draw a line and everybody thought... if we “talk” it out... Hitler will see reason... and over 100 million people died...

[John123]

It also saved the lives of Japanese civilians elsewhere in the country.

excellent point!

[John123]

I wish I’d asked my dad about it. I had to learn all of this at the reunion, and dad had passed away five years earlier, in 2000.

You may have not gotten an answer... many guys don't like to talk about it... my dad was in the Korean conflict and won't say anything about it.

We are working to exhaustion to finance our own destruction.

Good book, a bit academic.

[purpleraine]

That’s why we need a real Hiroshima Day to remember the lives saved by dropping the bombs.

100,000 a mounth according to the Book "Downfall" By Richard B Frank,There was also a order by the Japanese high command in the pipeline to kill all allied POW's and internees

Unforntely their is no Simon Wiesenthal for the pacific.If there was these idiots would have shouted down a long time ago

[Mr Inviso]

“Obviously, these morons had never heard of Operation DOWNFALL, in which the U.S. government secretly predicted hundreds of thousands of Allied casualties, and over a million Japanese. Many of us would not be here today if the atomic bombs had not been dropped since our grandfathers would have been killed taking the home islands.”

Grandfather, heck. My dad would probably have been there. He returned to the US in April of ‘45 having escaped a German POW camp in Jan ‘45 and evading to the Russian side. Took a while for them to ut him loose and return him here stateside, but as he was pretty much back in fighting condition by the time Coronet was slated to go, he’d probably have been there.

I’ve also seen the terrible toll of what the Japanese did to US POWs they held. Dad belonged to the Ex-POW organization, and several of his fellow chapter members were PTO vets. They still bear the mental and physical scars of what was done to them.

The exhibit guide/presentor definitely had an ax to grind, but was shocked by my questions. Her inability to answer them, I think, was embarrassing. Those present saw the agenda blatantly for what it was, but there were several more tours that day and many, many other days no one questioned her expertise.

What other country not only allows such dissension, but pays for it as well. Sometimes I wonder about how such freedom can survive.

[Alia]

True.
