Thank you for posting this ....And thank you daddy for nearly seven years of service during WWII, you're my hero and I miss you

So when did all you conservative "Hawks" become bleeding hearts that cared about muslims in the middle east beimg killed?

They wanted a war.....well, they're getting one.

Maybe you should read a little history about how over 100,000 innocent Japanese civilians were killed during a single night of fire bombing by the US.

I would be MORE concerned if we were not using drone attacks in Pakistan, Yemen & Somalia.

You have a warped perspective of war. We were in total war with Japan when we firebombed Tokyo as retaliation for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. For years Japan had been killing thousands of Chinese and were mistreating and killing captured American soldiers from the Philippines. Japan refused to abide by the Geneva rules of war and treated everyone as sub-human. Their ally Germany, had V-2 bombed London extensively. The US attacks on Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Hiroshima ended World War II and it is estimated that it saved over a million lives over what would have happened if we would have invaded.

Maybe you should read a little history and you wouldn't make such invalid comparisons.

Don't try to lecture me about WWII and the Japanese....my Father was a Japanese POW. You ever hear of a little place called Corregidor? I know plenty about what went down.

My comparison was not far off the mark. The terrorists drew American civilian blood with 911 and we are hitting them back....doesn't matter where they are, we should hit them.

WAR HAS CHANGED my friend and you better get used to the new way it will be waged. They are damn lucky we are able to minimize collateral damage as much as we do! We didn't have that luxury in WWII.

Your comparison is ridiculous. It is you that started the "lecture" and did a really poor job of it. I won't try to lecture you about WWII because your comparisons are so warped, they represent a meaningless perspective. 100,000 "innocent" civilians? Every human on the island was working to defeat the Allies in WWII. Your use of the term is disgusting. Your hatred of America stands out.

...and let's not forget the "luxurious" "collateral damage" called the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki...an unnecessary bombing and pet project of Truman's (against the rational and humane advice of his top generals) to impress Stalin.

It isn't like the US administrations of recent history had a great deal of respect for human life, so it's no stretch of the imagination that they have no respect for US citizens lives either, especially since it's already a matter of public record that it is murdering some citizens it doesn't like.

Truman didn't anything about the bomb when he ordered it dropped. when Roosevelt died, Truman was never explained the power it had. he just knew it could end the war, so he ordered it to use. he had nightmares the rest of his life after that...

OK, you do need a lesson on history. The US was forced with the choice of invading Japan where EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING WAS TRAINED TO FIGHT BACK IN SOME WAY!, or bomb the hell out of them. The bombing killed many of them but not nearly as many as we would have had to kill with and invasion and many of our troops would have been killed during the invasion too. We chose the bombing to save lives, theirs and ours. It is estimated the bombing saved over a million lives.

Go read a little. Yes there was some intrigue with Russia but all such major conflicts have many side issues.
