Just when you think he can’t get any more idiotic:

Hey Jon

Go take a memory walk thru Bataan or Dachau and get back with us.

Does Stewart, in his limitless wisdom, know what Japan’s Unit 731 did during the war?

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt

It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
Theodore Roosevelt

Sadly the current Socialist in office would agree.

Even one of my presumably liberal professors said Turman made the right decision. The Japanese were prepared to fight to the last man. An invasion would have cost millions of lives on both sides.

The only crime Truman committed was relieving MacArthur.

I wonder if Stewart thinks FDR is war criminal material as well for OKing the firebombing of German cities? He’d squirm a bit on that one, I suspect.

I’ve been hearing this same Lefty Lamentation about Truman since I entered College in 1967.

I don’t have the stomach to watch. I suppose his audience cheered?

Other than an end to slavery, nazism, fascism and communism and the preservation of our liberty, war has never produced anything of value.

More proof that the effete fools on the left value their moral purity more than the lives of million of their countrymen. What a staggering level of conceit.

Well this is a complicated topic as Japan had surrendered before the bombs were dropped.

Did Jon say that “we can hold our heads high” in regards to taking a so-called moral ground? Considering what Islamic extremists do to Christian and Jewish captors perhaps that was a poor choice of words. Besides, what nation has ever won a war by taking the high moral ground and not by killing as many of the enemy as possible. The insane stupidity of liberals is mind boggling.

They did? I thought they refused to surrender even after the first bomb.

They offered a conditional surrender and were refused. They didn't accept unconditional surrender until after the bomb on Nagasaki. They may have or may not have been prepared to accept a conditional surrender or, just as likely, wanted to fish for additional concessions.
