Met an elderly Japanese gentleman while having brunch today. Long
story short, his family was a victim of the American war crimes,
specifically the dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. I've never felt
so ashamed to be an American. I couldn't bow low enough in apology for
this nation.

Life's a bitch. They should have thought about that before they bombed
the crap out of Pearl Harbor. They had delusions of grandeur even
thinking they could whip our ass. Also, dropping the bomb was not a war
crime. The only black mark I can see is the detainment of Japanese U.S.
citizens. But if he was actually Japanese, and not a U.S. citizen, he
has no real gripe there either. Heck, you might as well have bent over
and let him drive you home.

You could always commit ritual seppiku. We'd be happy to
help.

In fact, we could do it for you, if you're too afraid...
Post your address and we'll work on it.


I am less ashamed of us bombing Hiroshima (and Nagasaki, or
any of the Japanese or German cities we carpet bombed with
conventional weapons into rubble) than the interment of
Japanese Americans (and some German- and Italian-Americans,
too, it should be pointed out) in WWII. The one was jhust
war. The other was a violation of what this country stands
for.

And this is off topic for shortwave.

I went through that anguish at one time in my life.

But finally realized that;

In a war you do everything you can to win. ( do or die ! )

Every nation would trade ten enemy lives for "one of their own"

We bombed their cities, because we had the capability.
They would have bombed ( our cities ) if they had the capability.

It's not just "how you conduct the war"
it's how you behave after the enemy's been vanquished.
In that respect, the Japanese army ( especially in China )
showed themselves to be poor winners.

We didn't start the conflict, yet I still feel a pang of discomfort
when I see pictures of the bombed-out cities...
Tokyo, Cologne, Hamburg, Dresden......

I'm also surprised that out of the thousands of bomber crewmen,
not one said "This is immoral... I'm not gonna do this"

There were a lot of civilians in those cities,
and, as John Wayne used to say; "Murikans don't make war on civilians"

War is hell !
