I know a couple of these have been posted, but I'm so incredulous and angry about these revisionist, self-righteous Japanese who think the President should be there apologizing to them...it's beyond all belief.

Apology???

How about this:
I'm sorry we had to sell our souls to a WMD and communism, sacrifice many thousands of young American lives, spend billions of dollars, and spark three more American wars to stop your tyrannical emperor from murdering/raping/torturing every human being on the planet that got in his way of his goal to conquer and share the world with Nazi Germany.

IF it were up to me, I’d say we will never apologize for that. Never. So that we could finally stop seeing these dumb stories every years saying ‘we didn’t apologize yet’.

We’re not going to apologize. It saved more Japanes lives ending the war this way than a full scale invasion would have. Besides victors do not apologize to the defeated INSTIGATORS who attacked us first.

US POWs were killed by the Hiroshima A-bomb.

The US should have sent survivors of the Bataan Death March as their representatives.

“Some Japanese still want an apology for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki”.....

Keep waiting....Not one U.S. soldier was worth losing invading Japan! They handed crap to us at Pearl Harbor and we handed it back in spades.....

There is an easy way to win any argument about the use of the A-bomb. Ask the person how many Japanese would have had to die if the US went ahead with it’s plans to launch TWO D-Day type landings on the Islands? Knowing that one of those landings was scheduled to be 6x the size of D-Day.

The bombing made the Imperial Army realize that I could no longer win in the war as it’s opponent could destroy entire cities at will.

Anyone know the time conversion (including Intl Dateline adjustment) between US Central and Japan for 9am CT on Aug 5th?

Because THAT was the time that the only flyable B-29 in the world, the CAF's FIFI, took to the air for the first time since 2004.
