   This might not be a popular thing, but we kind of had to drop those bombs. If we didn't, we would have lost an entire generation of young men and quite possibly Japan to the communists.

   You americans bombed civilians, not military facilities or anything, so saying it was necessary doesn’t cut it.

   I visited the Hiroshima Memorial Museum, there is no mention at all about the Pearl Harbor attacks that Japan incited as commencement of war against the US.

   Yes the aftermath was terrible but it was necessary. The Japanese refused to give up and in turn were at fault for what happened. It was necessary to save American lives yet people don’t understand or get the chance to hear that.

   I sad part is that the reason the Potsdam surrender policy was rejected by the Japanese was that the Emperor would not be recognised as the sovereign.

   Hope this doesn't happen again in the future. It's sickening to think innocent people might suffer again for the mistakes of our government.

   They have never said it was needed to drop the bombs onto Hiroshima, in school. That wasnt even something taught in america. So that weirdly dressed boy scout has no fucking clue. As an American we're "TOLD" we dropped the bomb because of A) pearl harbor (dont attack the us) B) their alignment with Axis powers, THE FUCKING NAZIS.

    The sad thing is that most of these Japanese did nothing wrong, unlike the comments say it is true most of them did support the government but it is still sad. The problem with blaming evil people for being evil is that they have to be influenced to be that way, either through their environment or through the people around them. Same thing for even most dictators – it's why you don't see people like Kim Jong Un in America with his viewpoints, the environment he grew up in and the people around him molded his views. Many of the victims didn't even know the atomic bomb happened. Even though they had air raid sirens, they became unsensitized to it since they heard it so often so they didn't care. Some people that were watching the bomb drop didn't see it even detonate as they were literally vaporized instantly. The heat wave of the bomb is so quick that it vaporizes the victim before the pain receptors can even hit the brain.
    
    Imagine what it was like to be one of the victims that died instantly in the Hiroshima nuclear bomb attack. You had become accustomed to the sound of air raid sirens due to the frequent bombings in the past, so when you heard the siren this time, you assumed it was just another air raid. You looked up and saw the bomb, thinking it was just another regular bomb, when suddenly, without warning, you were vaporized in a fraction of a second. The intense heat wave that was emitted from the bomb moved at an incredibly fast speed, travelling faster than the speed of sound and nearly instantaneously vaporizing your body before your pain receptors could even register the heat. Your brain was vaporized before the pain receptors had time to reach it, leaving you to experience a sudden and instantaneous death.
    
    It's like one second you exist and the next you don't, a lifetime gone in a fraction of a second. Any trace that you ever existed gone, sort of like the death camps from the holocaust. For some people the only trace that they even existed is a permanent shadow from when they were vaporized.
    
    Many of these victims stories are more important than they have ever been, in the threat of a looming nuclear war imagine how much more deadly a nuclear weapon today could be. Nuclear weapons today are over 3,000 times more powerful than they were back then. Imagine 3,000 Hiroshima's being annihilated with a single bomb the size of a car. Then imagine this was over New York city, you know how many people would be dead? Millions instantly vaporized. Humanity has gone from using rocks as weapons to using nuclear weapons in only a couple thousand years. The future for us is grim, we may not even live as long as most other species usually do because we destroy ourselves. Wonder why we don't see any aliens in the sky? Maybe that's because they destroyed themselves with their technology.
    
    We can't stop nukes from being used, but we can educate our children on the dangers of them and the terrors of nuclear weapons. The education system is heavily biased, we only teach about the good things in wars. We teach about World War 2 because we won it, we feel that winning gives us glory. Of course many teachers would disagree, but this isn't a reflection of the teachers views, this a reflection of our politicians views, of subconscious American views, and of administrators views. We don't go in depth about the Korean war, we don't talk about the fact we used deadly chemical bombs over North Korea and we literally killed a quarter of their population. We don't talk about the Vietnam war, and for the same reason I doubt we will ever be taught about the Afghanistan war. When no glory comes from it, we don't teach it.
    The Hiroshima bomb was genocide, a completely unlawful killing of hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians that did nothing wrong except be born in a regime filled with propaganda that shaped their views.

    And the united states wasnt even going to enter the war. Japans leaders got greedy and forced the United States to enter. Little did they know the price they would have to pay.

    Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor would reportedly write in his diary, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

    Leave it to cnn for a one sided and slanted “news” story. The uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima was no worse that the images of the dead from Pearl Harbor, the Baton Death March, the Holocaust and especially the images of the dead that were PREVENTED when we didn’t have to invade Japan. That would have prolonged the war 2+ years and cost millions of lives, most of them civilians. Maybe those Boy Scouts should consider THAT.

    Try to watch the video titled "McNamara on Bombing of Japan cut.mp4" on YouTube. Robert Strange McNamara, in his 2003 film "The fog of War", unbiasedly condemns the United States' excessive indiscriminate attacks (war crimes) on Japan in 1945.

    Man was Japan that bad during WWII to warrant killing thousands of innocents? I don't think so. U.S. isn't the innocent good guys all the time Patriots think it is. And if you research about the Korean War, there is a reason North Koreans are terrified and angry against Americans, it's cause we bombed their entire country to the point thousands of innocents starved to death. North Korea wasn't innocent, but America wasn't either.

    I hope those kids realize that they were not there, leading a country in a world war, with a decision to quickly end the war or not with this horrible weapon. It's easy to say it was wrong now, because you're not the one having to make an incredibly difficult and impactful decision in a world war.

    Don't forget the public opinion of American people who urged the government to BOMB the innocent people. It's not US government, It's US public culture. Nobody push a button or order to kill if public opinion don't support it. The media convinced people killing innocents is the only way to end the war. Same media does the same thing now. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and soon in Ukraine.
