in this news group a few days ago.y'all did read it,didn't y'all? It is
on their online website,look around.I get their snail mail magazines and

PopSci and PopMech were great magazines for me to read when I was 15.
Although I'll give you credit that they aren't faux news or Al
Franken. But I suggest you find other ways to keep current.

You are sitting in front of a device that allows you to search an
incredible collection of documents, from the DoD to FAS to
GlobalSecurity to peer reviewed journals, and the best you can do is
PopSci?

Christ. No wonder you use webtv. Your brain is overwhelmed by the
complexity of a brick.

Nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved a lot of lives and it
brought an end to World War Two.I have known that since back in the
1940's.

Unless you were there, in the planning rooms for the invasion, with
the appropriate clearances, I doubt you knew that. Then again, I
doubt you knew how to read, so you might have made a fine message boy.

Unlike you, I have actually studied the planned invasion campaign. It
would indeed have saved lives, but not because Rush told you to
believe that.

For those who really think the surrender (which were more a, let's go
back to status quo ante) overtures to the soviets were genuine, or
even possibly going to be honored, perhaps you should study up on what
happened the night the emperor recorded his "surrender." I quote that
because he never said that; rather he said that we would have to
"endure the uneendurable" and that "the war effort has turned
distinctly to our disadvantage."

Anyway, the head of NEC, a couple more execs and techs came over to
record two master discs. The military wasn't ready for that, and they
had planned on assassinating everyone around the emperor and holding
him captive, along with destroying those discs. The discs were hidden
in two different places, and several people protected the knowledge of
where they were with their lives, ranging from personal servants, to
NEC people.

The military guys tore the emperor's palace apart looking for the
discs and didn't find them.

The disks were recorded late at night, by dawn, the coup leaders
realised their efforts were hopeless. The leader committed suicide.
Fittingly, his hara-kiri didn't kill him immediately, he lived for
several hours, undiscovered, impaled on his sword in a chair.

Now, had the invasion happened... well, first off, no fighting soldier
taking place in the first week was expected to survive. None. 100%
casualties. However, the allies expected to eventually push inland.
The goal was to take half of a single Home Island, protect that part,
literally -- not figuratively -- pave it over to make it one huge
airbase, and then continue on from there.

If you think the bombs, or the firebombings which were worse, were
bloodbaths, you hadn't seen anything.

Clearly you haven't heard of the firebombing of Tokyo, which was more
destructive to lives than both atomic detonations together.

And so what. Both the firebombing and the nuclear explosions were
designed to get the Japanese to stop fighting a losing battle. One
that would have cost our side and theirs huge numbers of killed had a
land invasion taken place.


The point, which you seem to have missed, too, is that just because it
used a fission reaction doesn't make it the ultimate evil. Tokyo,
Dresden, Koln were all far more destructive. I'm not talking about
motives here, so spare me. The POINT is, the nukes were destructive
as in what a single bomb could do, but they sure as hell weren't when
compared mission-for-mission.

I would have far rather been 5 miles away from Hiroshima than 5 miles
away from Dresden. I suspect even at that distance I could have been
sucked in by the firestorm.
