Say Hello To My Little Friends

August 6, 1945- U.S. drops atomic bomb on Hiroshima/ Nagasaki.

On that particular day the American government saw fit to use the prodigal sons of their latest weapons think tank dubbed, The Manhattan Project. This culmination of the worlds most brilliant scientists was charged with the task of creating the ultimate weapon for use against the Japanese in an effort to force a surrender. They invented the Atomic Bomb, a thermonuclear device capable of leveling large portions of entire cities. The devices they had invented were then primed for use on the Japanese city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, should the first fail to grab their attention. On August 5, our final warning was issued to Emperor Hirohito saying that we would drop our devices on their cities if they did not surrender immediately. This final warning hit Japan unheeded and the next morning, let's just say that the U.S. keeps their promises.

KABOOOSHOAAAAAASHHHHHABOOOM(with a pictureeeeeeebabooosh)

Japan, needless to say, was left in complete shock. Not only did they not believe we had these bombs in the first place but they also never thought we would *actually* do it. This was obviously a huge blow to their rediculously over-drawn pride and the Japanese did everything they could not to show it. Unfortunately, this included releasing the statement that we (the U.S.) had only one of these and could not afford to create another. Essentially, "YOU WON'T DO IT AGAIN THOUGH!". This reaction was not exactly one the Americans expected from the Japanese but one they were more than happy to oblige. In response, the U.S. decided that........wait.......what was that............I can't hear you over the sound of my KABOOOSHOAAAAAASHHHHHABOOOM(with another pictureeeeekrshhhhhbssshhh)

Japan surrendered six days later.........obviously.

I know I'm heartless but hey.

Anyways, despite the seemingly rough nature of the U.S. dropping the bombs on cities of innocent people, I believe that it was for a greater good. Had we not dropped the bombs, we would have easily lost thousands upon thousands of innocent military lives in our invasion of Japan. Even the Japanese were spared massive casualties in avoiding the defense of their homeland. A lot of people say that we were heartless in dropping those bombs but I persona;ly do not believe we were. Japan, just like any other nation that declares war on another, effectively puts forward every aspect of their own country in an effort to destroy another. When you decide to do that to your own people you better think of the consequences. Japan basically attacked our innocents and our military on December 5th at Pearl Harbor and made us retaliate. You better be ready to deal with everything we have if you attack us. We didn't have to drop the bomb but, if it means saving a bunch of our own lives, then you better believe that we will and we have the right.
