"Video Killed the Radio Star" by music legends The Buggles. Beavis and Butthead was the 2nd best thing behind music videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Nagasaki wasnt necessary. I think the bigger goal was the US flexing their cajones to show the Russians what was up. I also think Japan deserved a punch in face for what they did to the Chinese. Especially for the Nanjing massacre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I really fo not feel the Japanese would ever surrender. Without the bomb possible millions more die in WWII. I know its part of war and all countries faced many atrocities but as I get older I do feel for the citizen loss. Warmibg to the rest of the world don't awake the sleeping Giant. One of Hitters biggest mistakes getting the Japanese to attack the US 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the decision, and have no doubt it saved lives in the long run...But watching that documentary is heartbreaking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it but Berkowitz is still alive and in the stoney-lonesome. He last came up for parole in May...while I'd like to believe those would be short hearings ("Uh...no") with coronavirus and letting other violent kooks out, I'm surprised he's not out on the streets... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
