From the years 1937 thru 1945, the Japanese and their Bushido antics created and caused the demise of over ten million Chinese alone. Anyone ever read or hear about the

Rape of Nanking”? Where 200,000 Chinese civilian men, women and children were murdered in two days. Where Japanese soldiers practice the use of their swords by implementing thousands of beheadings of helpless prisoners? Japanese soldiers invented the game of “Nanking baseball” where Chinese infants were thrown into the air and caught on the end of a bayonet. Over 1,000,000 assorted Asians were worked to death as slave laborers on the Burman/Thailand railroad construction projects. Throw in a few million more for Koreans and other Asian countries that were blessed with the “Co-Asian Prosperity Sphere” (Japanese name for themselves) and you’ve got the same murderous experiment that Hitler had created in Europe. And Americas apologists call us murderers for dropping two bombs which saved millions of lives.

American military forces were killing the Japanese at about ten to one during the war, mostly caused by the Japanese refusal to ever surrender. The anticipated American casualties for invading the Japanese home island in 1945 (Operation Downfall) was anticipated to be in the 1,000,000 range. And America was going to go it alone with no allies signing on in any significance. That would mean if the war business continued as usual, the Japanese would have suffered about 10,000,000 more casualties. Since the two bombs created about 150,000 immediate deaths, the Japanese (as did we) got off easy. The war was over. The Japanese were set to never surrender otherwise and responded to every peace offering with that as their position. Plus, by immediately surrendering the sons of Nippon were able to create a new civilization for themselves, if you care to reference Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and numerous other successes of the modern Japanese. And you can throw in women’s rights which didn’t exist before the bombs and General Douglas McArthur.

The Japanese should be thanking us and erecting memorials to their tens of millions of innocent victims worldwide. Not us shedding tears every August because the monster that was war waging, murderous Japan got slammed down forever.
