Do you have their emails? I will tell them they were the greatest two days in American history as well.

How is killing people a great day?

It's never a great day. Those were different times, and the reality is. You, and I might not be here if History had been different.

If Hitler, and Tojo had succeeded. There probably wouldn't be a USA where you and I had the freedom to speak about it.

Necessary yes but to call it a good day is wrong.

Forcing the surrender of America's enemy is a good day for America. All they had to do is surrender.

The actual bomb was not good apart from the fact it ended the war.

Saving thousands of lives is good. I am usually against war. But once the decision is made to fight, fight to win, with as few casualties on your side as possible. I don't believe in this UN police action horseshit.

We said surrender. They didn't.

[Gunny]

Love the sarcasm

That's messed up. I have British wit and no one appreciates the dry sarcasm here. They don't even get it here. You get just that blank stare ....

[LongTermGuy]

Ironic difference there.....

that the US nuked Japan to end a war and to save lives....

and when the radical Muslims (like in Iran) nuke the US....

it will be to end the world and end lives.

Some might even say that it is the oft brutal side of Karma.

​Only if we allowed that to happen with Liberal appeasement...Tolerance and Ignorance...`The "good will always prevail"....Japan is one of our greatest allies and trading partners now....

I don't believe the logic of 'the ends justify the means' should be celebrated. If that logic is used then it should just be classed as a terrible thing that had to happen.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

Frankly, I really don't give a damn about the enemy. If you're in a war, you fight to win - not wring your hands about being "too hard" on them. You kill them en masse until they lose the will to fight and surrender.

Black Diamond is right - they were 2 of the greatest days in American history. Not our fault the little bastards started a war with us.

You cannot class obliterating whole cities as 'a good day for america' it is a good day for both sides that the war ended because of it but the bombs themselves were not good.

Guess we should all just agree to STOP using the word "Good" so often. That will solve the issue for once.

That is a good idea.

CB, I totally understand what you are saying. It's like saying it is good that I shot that home burglar. No, it's not really good, it was just the best choice at the time.

I have to disagree and think your example is perfect for my argument as well, if someone decides to come into my house then they decided to be shot, and if you have to shoot do it to kill, if you just wound then he may have a gun and return fire, if we didn't hit them as hard as we did then as previously stated, we may not be typing here at all. If they didn't attack us then we wouldn't of had to fight, if he didn't break in I wouldn't of had to shoot, but always shoot to win. In my eyes both makes ya a winner, and a winning is always good.
