By the way, my Father was IN Pearl Harbor simply trying to have breakfast at Schofield Barracks when your countrymen bombed the sh** out of it!!

He had nightmares the rest of his life because of PH, the Korean War and 2 tours in Vietnam. And the only reason I know about those nightmares is because my Mom told me. He never said a word about any of it.

He would never share such horror with his children! That’s because he was a man who felt fortunate just to be a Father and a husband and live to tell about it you d-bag dipsh**!!

Three major conflicts in 3 decades without one complaint! He went back to Vietnam a 2nd time because of the guilt he felt having to leave after the 1st tour!

May God finally give him peace as he lies in Arlington Nat’l! He got a decent military funeral. 21 guns and taps, all while dead. And all while some no talent nobody flaps his yapper with his opinion that my Father helped give him the right to do and about something he apparently knows nothing about.

That’s OK George, I lost several straight friend to AIDS because homosexuals having sex with straight members of the other sex ain’t no laughing matter either. AIDS has killed more folks than our nukes....between Nagasaki and Hiroshima, between 50,000 and 100,000 casualties. For AIDS, it has averaged 1.5 million or so per year for a number of years. Which is more toxic, George?

Takei-san, if you family had lived in Tokyo, they could well have died in the convention-weapon fire-bombings of March 1945, when more people died in one night than died from the Hiroshima bomb over years. If your family had lived in Hitachi, they could well have died in the naval bombardments that were occurring three weeks before the Hiroshima bombing. If you family had lived in Okinawa, they could well have died in the land invasion beginning in April 1945, and it could have been by useless suicide, jumping off cliffs to avoid what they had been told were American forces who would rape, kill, and eat them—something you knew better, even in the detention camp you were forced to live in by a Democrat administration.

Takei-san, I think I love Japan at least as much as you do: while you were playing Sulu on television (and you couldn’t tell anyone that there is no “L” in Japanese?), I was living in Japan, and my FR handle hints at how much I have studied Japanese culture and thinking since. But, like you, I was born American, have been American all my life—and I plan to remain an American until my death. Any people who attack my country and my people bring upon themselves any and all necessary retaliation until they surrender and lay down their arms, and that is as true today as it was in 1945, or 1783.

We build a nuclear arsenal in the hope that the rest of the world will fear us enough to leave us alone, so that we can leave the arsenal in its place and never use it, because it is always when others think we are weak that we are attacked. We do not build the arsenal because we are flippant or belligerent, but because we are serious and peace-loving. Some day your side may learn to understand this; until then, let the adults take care of the situation.

The bomb saved Japan from starvation in 1946, not to mention what the toll of an American landing would have been.

George lost exponentially more countrymen to napalm than neutrons. By the time we dropped little boy it was hard to find cities to bomb as they had burned something like the biggest 60 cities with over 180 sq miles of Japanese cities constructed mainly with wood and paper.

He would have lost many more had the war not ended as the fall 1945 rice harvest would not have moved over destroyed rail systems from rural southern farming areas to remaining population centers. This would have lead to mass starvation.

No game? Neither was unit 731 that exceeded Hitler’s horrors by an order of magnitude. Not in numbers but in raw evil callous cruelty.

They deserved to get nuked. And I notice they have behaved ever since.

“......The world, for its part, blinked in astonishment, wondering once again what Mr. Trump might mean.......”

If they are that stupid to not know by having the strongest nuclear weapon arsenal, there will be “peace”? Some rogue county might try lobbing a few but bottom line says it would NOT be a very good idea for their future existance.

Too bad, you swishy history revisionist. Tell it to the families of 2,403 U.S. soldiers who were murdered by Japan when we weren't even in the war---yet. And the 111,606 U.S. soldiers killed in the resulting hostilities, including those who died from unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment at the hands of the Japanese in POW camps.

The U.S. would not have just decided, "Let's nuke Japan" unless Japan had provoked it. Remember what Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." You done tugged on Superman's cape, and we did what we had to do to end the war. So shut your mouth.

Rape of Nanking: 1937-1938 300,000 Deaths

In December of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army marched into China’s capital city of Nanking and proceeded to murder 300,000 out of 600,000 civilians and soldiers in the city. The six weeks of carnage would become known as the Rape of Nanking and represented the single worst atrocity during the World War II era in either the European or Pacific theaters of war.

His family would have cheered the taking out of mine. War is not for the limp wristed.

So?? I lost family in the Civil War. Should the US foreign policy be boxed in by that fact?
