Battle of Okinawa
1 April – 21 June 1945The battle of Okinawa proved to be the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War.
U.S. losses were over 62,000 casualties of whom over 12,500 were killed or missing. This made the battle the bloodiest that U.S. forces experienced in the Pacific war. Several thousand servicemen who died indirectly (from wounds and other causes) at a later date are not included in the total.
there are tons of sites with this info.
Uh. Are you retarded? The bomb wasn't ready until after the battle of okinawa. Which is where the remains of the japanese navy and airforce was definitively destroyed.

The estimate for invading Japan after looking at 1944 and 1945 came in around 1 million Americans dead.
It became a rather easy choice at that point.

I do find it funny how many people here are adamant that America never would have nuked anyone else, though. Even though we were clearly prepared to three times in a war where our nation was never seriously in any danger.
We might, maybe , possibly have dropped 100,000,000 of lollipops too but we never did.
Saying we had the ability to use nukes and yet didn't is bad how?

That's wrong (actual number was more like 65k), but the point of the thread really wasn't to get into that stuff. We've had that conversation here on the outpost before and nobody ever convinces anybody. This thread isn't about whether nuking Japan was justified. This thread is about America having demonstrated a willingness to nuke people in the past as long as they don't have nukes themselves.

hahah clown. I did read your posts. Where you said:

Nukes were very much on the list of "acceptable military weapons" right up until other countries got them. Then they got put on the "unacceptable" list except when used to respond to nukes themselves.
Sorry I took those words to mean what they mean, and not whatever you meant them to mean. Sorry your strawmen get more and more desperate in these threads. And most of all, I'm sorry your people were so despicable they forced us to kill so many of them.

It's funny how easily upset Americans get when people point out America is the only country that ever nuked anybody.
You responding to "Americans stopped nuking people because other people have nukes" with "we'd still nuke people!" sorta makes my point for me, though. |
