Remembering Hiroshima
No, I did not watch that show since I don't watch TV. You claimed that every member of the Japanese race (not even the Japanese nation, but the entire race, even Japanese-Americans!) would have died for their Emperor, and you get this information from a TV show. Now, I'm no expert on psychology, but I'm sure that there were people living in Japan who did not want to die for the Emperor. They probably weren't really vocal about it, but it's kind of difficult to get EVERYONE in a country to be willing to die for a cause.You definataly did not see that show last night. They considered their Emperor as a God. They ALL would have died for him!
Well, there's no reason to give away the exact time and place, but they didn't even try to notify Japan that they had this weapon. They just assumed the Japanese wouldn't have believed them and went on with the murdering.Hey Japan, we will be there at 09:00 A.M. pacific time with a very large bomb for ya!
As somebody already mentioned, it is impossible to know what would have happened had the situation been handled more humanely. But I still see no reason why the nuclear weapons could not have been demonstrated without targeting some of the most densely populated areas of Japan.Three more days given waiting for a surrender....didn't happen did it!
A few civilian loses would not have meant shit to the Japanese. The Emperor was God and they were all in Samori mode. Hell, look at the kamakazi. Give your life for the Emperor.
So they had the power to murder hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians who you claim were all willing to "die for their Emperor" yet they couldn't have just bombed the fucking Emperor and his military cabinet who were responsible for the whole war? They could have at least fit in some non-innocent deaths there...and it would surely break the Emperor's back! I'm just saying, there were probably other solutions which could have dealt with the situation in a more humane manner.Then why didn't they surrender BEFORE we dropped the bomb. Ample time was given. Why didn't they surrender after Hiroshima? Once again, ample time was given. It took two bombs with great loses in order to break the Emperors will to keep up the fight and go against his military cabinet.
