If Korean and Chinese slaves were there and killed and were not recorded it is because the Japanese DID NOT RECORD THE DEATHS OF PEOPLE THEY THOUGHT WERE INFERIOR... They killed nearly a million at Nanking and the war criminals who perpetrated that are still Japanese heroes.
Balance your story. Check out my blog - take a look at WHY we had to drop the bombs. Japan had the opportunity to surrender a month before....
The Japanses had tried unsuccessfully to surrender to the Allies on three occasions, using the Russians as agents but they were denied on each occasion by the United States because the United States refused to allow the Emperor to remain as the head of state.
The war crimes the Japanese committed in China and other occupied areas is legendary and for the most part the criminals were brought to justice. The same cannot be said for the war criminals within the allied ranks. In fact general leMay even wrote afterwards that had the allies lost, he would surely have been charged with war crimes for his policy of fire-bombing Japanese cities. Millions of civilians died in those fires and their numbers will be never be known.
What difference does it make that the Japanese thought the Chinese and Koreans were inferior? It was still the American bomb that killed them. What was unbalanced about my story?? Perhaps you should try to read my story impartially instead of taking it so personally.
Now explain to me again, why we had to drop that bomb.
-Chiron.-
And the emoeror was the chief war criminal, any peace dependent on him remainng was wrong...
And BTW , he did remain...
We had to drop the nbomb to save 40,000 american soldiers, 400,000 Japanese soldiers, and 1.6 million Japanese civilinas who woudl have dies in an invasion.
BTW, if I use your acccounting method you use for the Hiroshima deaths, 600,000 Americans were killed by the germans at d-day... The only ones you can count are the ones who died quickly and those who died prematurely. If someone lived from 1945 to 1995 for example that is not a death...
I read your story, it has tons of flaws...
If I use their accounting over 12 million people died in the Battle of Battle of Britain and in the 60 years since. SURE - BY NOW NEARLY EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE DIED.
Hiroshima is the same.
Sure there were some killed by the bomb, most likely about 70-80 thousand. Sure there were some that died in the weeks and months after as the result of blast injuries, burns and radiation. This is probably in the 20,000 range. This number was increased by the pathetic Japanese response to the need at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Let's face it, the Nipponese lack of respect for life literally wrote off the injured...
Many of the bomb victims died for lack of medical care!
One thing we must remember is this, the Japanese saw no difference between combatants and civilians. If civilians had to die to get the job done, so be it.
But to say that someone who was at Hiroshima died of old age at 75 is a war casualty is just plain stupid. It shows how the left will twist the truth to make their point.
