Whether judging by necessity or Just War Theory, the Allies, however imperfect, were righteous in waging this defensive war and right to use the Atomic Bomb to end it. Here's why.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the Second World War. Don't take my word for it: hear it from the lips of the one person capable of making that decision. Recorded in 2009.
Thank you. My then-19-year-old father was in the US Army in Leyte that day, training to be in the first wave of the Kyushu invasion scheduled for November.
👏👏👏 A tour de force of an article that recounts a VERY important history that we ALL can learn from and would do well to remember! This article is invaluable! Send it to everyone you know especially for the young people in your family! Thank you, Dr. Martin! The dropping of the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was absolutely the right decision!
Thank you for this shot of reality. The estimates I have read put the total deaths on Okinawa (soldiers and civilians at 250,000). The battle only lasted from April 1 to late June. Total carnage because the Japanese fought to the death. The savage nature of the fighting led to record numbers of “shell shock” among US troops and was also the bloodiest battle of the war for the Navy reflecting the appalling reality invading Japan. The book Hell to Pay makes a very compelling case that there was no guarantee that the invasion would be successful given the geography, Japan’s still formidable army, 14,000 planes carefully hidden for kamikaze attacks on the invasion force and the limited number of nuclear weapons that could be brought to bear during the invasion itself. Truman knew all of this as well as the 80K US casualties per month that had been sustained since D-Day to the German surrender.

Nice video.
"Some of these people are good friends of mine, unquestionably patriotic, and in some cases, seeking to apply Christian teaching to the situation."
You mean the part where Jesus tells the Apostles to Buy A Sword?
Clearly not. Somehow that part just gets completely lost.
Thank you. My then-19-year-old father was in the US Army in Leyte that day, training to be in the first wave of the Kyushu invasion scheduled for November.
Timely reminder of the work President Trump is bringing about in his effort to protect our world from war by a nuclearized Islamofascist-lead Iran.
Timely article given the dust-up in Iran and their lack-off serious negotiation actions.
Excellent review, that should be in every school book on history, but especially in those hallowed halls of HIGHER learning, a.k.a. INDOCTRINATION‼️
