Less tragic for Americans than the alternatives the Japanese had on the table at the time. In fact it worked out so well we can still be grateful for the tough decisions and actions taken in those tough times. Even more Japanese would have died if the war was not shortened the way it was, as brutal as it may seem today. In the face of the brutality at that time it was more or less the obvious choice to save the most lives on both sides.

Attention seeking

soviet garbage , junk never worked quite right

What's interesting is how dust on lunar was heavier than humans.

I had to laugh. I was watching the launch of Space X tonight and was reading the comments. There were more than one who said Space X was fake ! Dang ! Just because it’s beyond their capabilities, doesn’t mean it’s beyond other people’s capabilities ! Can these naysayers make their own cell phone, tablets and computers ? Are they denying them too ? Unreal. God Bless the engineers of these vehicles. Thank you Lord for the success of these launch vehicles and their missions.

Huge respect for soldiers from both sides. War have no good and bad sides. War is a war. Bad and very dissapointing for both sides where lives were lost. When politicians fail there is a war , a death that put her hands on young lads who get call to arms to serve each side. Falklands war was an elegant war where you could see compassion from both sides towards another not just mindless killing, only lads doong their jobs.

As Carl Sagan once said its like 2 military leaders standing ankle deep in petroleum fuel , one has two matches the other three. Or something like that MAD Mutually Assured Destruction.

War is War...

Life lesson everyone needs to learn and understand, the one who starts the fight doesn't decide when its over the side winning does

The sickening part is they nuked japan 2x because they already decided ussr is their next enemy. How fucking disgusting is the us government

Its always safer to critize later.. Dont take away the bravery from all those people who endured such dreadfull experiences..

Vietnam war was not launched by Kennedy.

The culture itself is responsible for many issues- saving face and being corrected. The history of the torture, rape, and abuse of the 1930’s is still coming to light. The 1940’s atrocities condoned by the Japanese leadership, enlightened Western cultures. The Korean women forced into slavery - remnants of the feudal era but accepted as culture. The surrender in Tokyo Bay reflected the changes that McArthur faced after requiring subservient changes. They cannot see in the mirror what the entire planet experienced with them.

50MPH for a submarine amongst other brainless facts, this channel is a load of crap

The tragic story of the Japanese emperor, authorizing cannibalism for his soldiers on prisoners of war and the local populations.

The tragic story of Japanese camp …Unit 731 Unit 731, short for Manchu Detachment 731 and also known as the Kamo Detachment and the Ishii Unit, was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that engaged in lethal human experimentation and biological weapons manufacturing during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Estimates vary as to how many were killed. Wikipedia

Meanwhile, comfort women prisoners, and the c\Chinese people are still waiting for sincere apologies and reparations.

44:05 He is such an idiot. The earth does not float in space. You need buoyancy to float. You cannot have buoyancy in a vacuum. This man is ignorant.

but they wanted to be the land of the rising sun! we were only obliging them, so they had two extra sunrises right within easy view!

Maybe if the yanks had dropped bread instead of bombs the Jap civvies would have turned against the military

I've been to Japan, the population at school don't get told about the Japanese attrocities to other nations. Why???

why 20 miles by water? how much would it have cost to build a 10-15 mile rail?

Man has destroyed this Earth so terribly in so many ways

Given the choice between millions of American soldiers deaths or Japanese they chose Japanese.

Best Spanish Flu Documentary. Thank you!

wow

a true royalty

America just can't stay out of other nations conflicts worry about your own borders! Stay out of others

Thank you.

The Japanese were still fighting and killing allied soldiers in large numbers. They held. 250,000 Allied soldiers in prison under the worst possible conditions. Some prisoners were being eaten alive by the Japanese and that was proven in the war crimes trials. They had captured 400 million Asians throughout several countries and had to killed millions of Chinese in particular. Thousands were dying every day. President Truman said, “ how could I explain to the people that I could have ended the war and did not’

And, your title of the vid was misleading. Unsubscribe!

Excuse me....look up Nanking and what the Japas did to the Chinese and the Battle of Manilla, before you start to whine at me about the bombing of Japan...OK!

😳🤭😴

That " civil war" hasn't ended

It's absolutely insane, all the things our congress has No problem wasting *Our* money on. So much so, that we're over 30 million millions in debt - but going to the moon just isn’t worth it. Idk if Tom Hanks was quoting a Jim Lovell interview when he said imagine if Columbus had come back from the Americas, and then nobody else followed, but it's a good point. We could already be so far ahead in our moon/space program that no one would catch us for decades, but we'll probably wait until it becomes a race or a fight for some valuable commodity on the moon or in space, that makes us actually start going back. Hopefully the private sector space industry will continue to grow and innovate.

I served on US subs, and later worked at commercial nuclear stations. I remember the US bought up a lot of the relic suitcase bombs from Russia, to get control of them and prevent them from reaching the open market. They were turned into mixed fuel and burned in commercial power station. Recall the US was funding decommissioning the defunct Russian subs and I thought that work was complete, but it appears a lot needs to be done, regarding decommissioning the Russian submarines.

whats with the crappy guitar music? we are not all dumb yank planks.

FAFO!

What's the point of the video title if the entire thing is just about how brilliant she is?

No mention of Russia invading Korea.... This was the final deciding factor for Japan...

Hey !!! I thought starvation of civilians was a war crime ? Or: Only in Gaza.....

Truman dropped atomic bombs on civilian mothers and their children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman was a Democrat.

These are the type of men I teach my sons to look up to. The older one just went to a Halloween party as a soldier, and has a little flag hanging in his room.

- Misleading title: Its about the last year of the pacific war in WW2, not just the bombing campaign. - not completely accruate: lots of the information presented has been dumbed down and simplified to the point that said information is very inaccurate.

amazing

Tragic?

This was murder. Royal and the British government wanted her dead. She became more popular than any royal. She was going where no royals had ever been. She was all over the world. U are crazy. She was dealing with all kinds of things that may hurt many powerful people that had been covered help. I’m an American. It happens in the us. If u can have enough money u can find people to get. get rid of. Anyone It may take many years but the truth will. Always. Come out. I hope The boys will finally get peace. I. Just. Hope When William becomes king. He will have. Many ways to get revenge of the ones who planned this murder.

And we're supposed to feel sorry for them? THEY started it.....

LeMay was a war criminal with the fire bombings

These are subs that patrolled the same water I did in the mid 80s .
