    It all makes perfect sense. But this author still called it “the bomb”. Not the bombs. 

    I’m sure the claim of racism had merit.  As much as the allies hated the krauts, they were still part of Europe and the Royal family. Nuking a completely alien people was easier. Besides radiating an island is less risky than the middle of Europe. 

    My uncle was a POW.  Captured by the Germans. He didn’t hold a grudge against them but he hates the Italians. He was sent to an Italian pow camp and had a rough time there. 

    They called Nukes "The Bomb" regardless of how many, some still refer to all the Nukes that way today.

     When I was a kid folks always said "we had the bomb first".

    Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said,
     
    "Where did you get such a great bike?
     
    The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."
     
    The first engineer nodded approvingly and said,
     
    "Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."

    my wifes gramp had to bail out over Germany . just his luck he floated down over a SS training camp . they took pop shots at him on the way down . he had like 6 gun shot holes.

    no medical just straight to a POW camp and there was a Russian POW  doctor there . he operated on a picnic table and my wifes grandpa could speak some Serbian so he could sort of communicate with the doc . then he spent the next 18mo in that camp .

    Bronco was a tough sob

    From the left on this tax and jobs bill.   Its fucking priceless to read.  Everything the left is doing is failing.  The ONLY things the left have tried to do is remove the POTUS.  :lol:  

    Collusion -- Failed

    Obstruction of Justice -- Failed

    Stopping letting American's keep more of their money -- Failed

    Obamacare -- Failing

    We are having our end of the year meeting with our workers next week and I'm going to talk for 5-10 minutes on the tax bill.   I'm sending out a company wide email including the tax calculator so they themselves can calculate their savings.  This will only be the 2nd time I've discussed politics with the entire company but its too HUGE not to.   The first was Obamacare and how it would impact the company.

     

    Not to forget ANWAR.

    I think that is pretty low when you look at the losses in the Island campaign.   Without question Japanese losses would have exceeded a million with a full scale invasion of the mainland.   Hundreds of thousands would have been from suicide alone.  

    I was referencing American GI losses only.
