What a pile of tripe.

There were also Germans that wanted to sue for peace, but they were not in command.

Remember studying how the Island hopping Marines found the Japanese defenders would fight to the last man? They were not defending their homeland. Invading the Japanese Islands would have been a bloodbath of US Military. And it took a second bomb to convince them to surrender.

We did not attack Japan first, we should have reduced Japan to a smoldering cinder in the Pacific.

Pacifists re-writing history, as usual.
