Why would we apologize for ending a war?

Collateral damage?

If we had attacked mainland Japan by land, we would have lost far more of our guys. Two bombs dropped, and it was all over. That's a fair trade, I think.

They thought they could stand and fight to the last man and win. Iwo Jima showed it. Truman saved millions of lives.

They should apologize to us for making us have to drop two bombs. The Japanese are opposed to that whole

Not so:


Yet if we review the consensus of the leading military commanders and policy formulators of the allied forces in World War II it is clear that it was overwhelmingly opposed to the use of the atom bomb against Japan. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the allied forces, declared in his second memoir, "Mandate for Change," "Japan was already defeated, dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, no longer mandatory to save American lives."
Eisenhower’s view was shared by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Under Secretary of the Navy Ralph Bard, Gen. Curtis LeMay, main architect of strategic bombing in the Pacific and later the Berlin airlift, Adm. William Leahy, U.S. Chief of Staff Adm. Chester Nimitz, Adm. Halsely, and the farsighted sinologist Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of the U.S. Army forces in the Far East, who later warned Kennedy and Johnson against America's ill-fated military incursion in Vietnam.

As MacArthur expressed it, “There was no military justification for the dropping of the bomb. The war might have ended weeks earlier, if the United States had agreed, as it later did anyway, to the retention of the emperor.”

It's sad and predictably disingenuous the way the Obama-haters so consistently mislabel reality to create a totally false and negative impression of everything he says and does. The blatant stupidity and dishonesty of it is grotesque, and yet it never seems to cease.

The president specifically did NOT apologize to Japan or the world in general for the United States' use of the atomic bomb in 1945. Nor was any apology asked for or expected by Japan, or anyone else on Earth.

The whole idea of an apology was completely manufactured by republicans and the right wing media to slander Obama with yet another blatant lie, and stir up the racist ignoramuses that continue to swallow this kind of idiotic swill.

What a bunch of pathetic goons. Donald Trump is the perfect mascot for this new ignoramus party. It's appropriate that they should be worshipping him as the quintessential tea-publican. They are all sprung from the same poisoned root.

BS article for one glaring reason: no mention of the prior weeks of firebombings that had already reduced Tokyo and other cities to ash, killing MANY more Japanese women and children than the two Bombs combined.
