They weren't?
Seeing as 100,000+ Amerian military members died in WWI I would be inclined to believe that they indeed were fighting in it.
In fact it was the 3rd most casualties in any American war besides WWII and Civil.
I would not say the US 'won' the war - though they were on the winning side... they certainly helped hasten things.

Yeah. You just think about that.
Back on topic...
Asante, I know you care a great deal about the victims of the bombs. People are still suffering today, that is not right. But it had to be done, you know? And dropping two atomic bombs on cities is an atrocity, but what the Japanese did to the Chinese in that war... that is something else entirely. It had to be done.

Holocaust deniers, moonlanding sceptics, and now aparently WW1 deniers? Jesus Christ where do you people keep coming from?
You wanna come to Europe? Do you want to see the graves, craters and trenches? There are battlefields where you can still find human remains and weaponry. Americans where involved.

Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 in Nagasaki;

That is pretty horrific, and crazy to think about happening. I pray that we never have to see in our life time another nuclear fall out and wide spread death.
Over 200,000 people dead as a result from a bombing that was unneeded. Anyone else hear about how the original plan was to drop flyers, and warn the Japanese of the potential use of nuclear weapons, but due to a mix up or something, the flyers we're dropped after the fact.
There was also a plan of dropping a bomb off the coast a Japan, sending a clear message, but I guess there is no clearer message than mass civilian casualties.
Very sad, very slalom.

They could have even only dropped one bomb, over either city with the same result. No real need to drop two of them.
Very sad.

There was a need to drop two. They didn't stop until we threatened to drop a third.

  You really think they would have continued to fight after such mass destruction? Our fire bombing campaign we're already devastating their ability to effectively fight, I doubt they would have continued to fight.

Agreed, the logic and reasoning behind the lack of a technical demonstration seems absurd. Even if there was need for a military demonstration, the logic behind targeting urban centers, very sad and a dark time in history for humanity.

they were targeting cities that were involved in the manufacturing of military supplies and weapons, these were strategic drops - hence the leaflets dropped
it was totally necessary. the japanese had awarded 2 american sailors medals for their help in the late 30s, if im not mistaken the sailors tied their medals one to each bomb before they were put on the planes or dropped or whatever kinda like a big

Never again





And let us also remember that Japan has an ongoing nuclear crisis in Fukushima, which despite not being in the media much anymore, is a long long way from resolved and remains a massive problem.

Dan Carlin is my hero and I wish he was the president of the USA.
I think it was him who told me this crazy story:
there was one guy, actually truly in history, who got hit with one of the Nukes, survived, made his way to the other city just in time to get hit by the second nuke, and survived.
He literally was within the blast zone of BOTH the nukes that hit Japan, and survived both.
He is possibly both the most lucky and the most unlucky person in history.
