Hibashuka. It is a word of Japanese origin that means a bomb victim, more commonly associated with the victims of the atomic bomb. The fact that the Japanese have a word specifically word to describe that speaks volumes of its impact on their life and culture. Language carries the scars of history. It's devastating to think about this tragedy may we never see this happen.

I am a Japanese high school student, currently living in America. Talking with my American friends about the atomic bombings, it is always difficult to discuss whether or not they can be justified. I understand that the atomic bombings can be said to finish the war, and I know that Japanese killed as many civilians in terrible massacres as or more than the number of Japanese civilians the bombings killed. I hate to say that the dropped atomic bombings in Japan can be justified, but it’s difficult to say perfect no. So, I just say that, for the future, I want to put effort on eliminating wars, conflicts and nuclear weapons from this earth step by step, in order not to discuss the next atomic bombing’s justification.

Nuclear weapons are disgusting, the things they do to people are horrific, like pure awful things that nothing else we've ever seen can do, whether it was to end a war or not nobody deserves to go through what the people of in Hiroshima and Nagasaki went through. A world with Nuclear weapons is a place on the verge of brutal extinction

[@waynepatterson5843]

please don't kill innocent people- Wayne Patterson --- She and the casualties from the atomic bombs were not the "innocent people" you pretend them to have been. She just finished admitting that she was injured as a consequence of her work as a decoder for the Imperial Japanese Army at their Second General Army Headquarters located within the Hiroshima Castle in Hiroshima. That means her work efforts were being used by the Japanese Imperial Army to continue waging an illegal war of genocide that was continuing to kill and murder tens of millions of enemy combatants and Allied noncombatant civilians. She was far from being one of the "innocent people." The "innocent people" were the people who heeded the enemy warnings of imminent air bombardments and complied with the related laws of war which required their evacuation from the military objectives and the military targets. About one-third of Hiroshima's population complied with the laws of war by evacuating Hiroshima to the rural communities where they remained unharmed by the attack against the Second General Army and Headquarters located within Hiroshima. The victims of Japan's murderous war upon combatants and civilians alike were also suffering horrific injuries,, and the atomic bombs forced the Japanese people to stop inflicting those horrific injuries and deaths. Consequently, it is not for someone to complain about the horrific injuries caused by a weapon that forced people like herself to stop waging war upon other people, and they also stopped their waging war on other people with the bacteriological weapons the Japanese had already used to kill about a half-million people in China and had prepared to kill more in San Diego, California and other California cities in OPERATION FALLING CHERRY BLOSSOMS AT NIGHT on and after about 22 September 1945. Her peace activism would have more credibility if she had taken personal responsibility for her own participation in the hostilities and the horrific injuries the people she worked for were inflicting upon the real "innocent people."

[@waynepatterson5843]

​@@JohnMorris-ge6hq --- THE COLD WAR ENDED 1990. Wayne Patterson --- The common refrain "THE COLD WAR ENDED 1990" was always a political fraud, because it is a fundamental tenet of Communism that the war and struggle against non-communists and against reactionaries within communist societies must be eternal and never ending. So long as communism remains in control of governments and societies, their wars upon all political, economic, educational, and other segments of Human societies are required by communist doctrines to continue by all means necessary. As a consequence of those communist doctrines, everyone, non-communist and communist, are under perpetual threat of being attacked in all facets of life by the dystopian communists.

The atomic bombs were extremely large and extremely destructive explosions. The German exterminations of human beings on an industrial scale and the Japanese use of biological weapons, mass murders, horrific war crimes on a mass scale, rape, looting, ethnic cleansing, and worse far outstrip the consequences and horrors experienced with the atomic bombs that stopped the Japanese atrocities. Ask the Koreans about their experiences in earlier centuries with the Japanese headhunting of Koreans and buildings mountain of decapitated Korean heads.

You know, in addition with 2 nuclear bombings of cities with uranium and plutonium as a terrorist scare (I hope you know that Japan was trying to surrender with the condition of not becomming a colony like Okinawa is today) to USSR and destroying most clichés after that, putting laboratories to experiment on Hibakushas like guinea pigs to know what happened to them according to whether plutonium or Uanium irradiated and never, out of an apology, out of providing fundings for Hibakushas's health severe issues 10, 20 years after (hard cancers and leukemia so much that as Ooe described it, as many going to hospitals on ambulances as coffins getting out. This was 1964), out of teaching to children Hibakushas with the occupation that the nuclear attacks were good (heart signs with fingers), are severally escalading earthers survival threats (not just humans). In case you did not get it, I was underlining that your comment was pure shit.

@@thinkingclearly1671 --- He was just a kid. Pretty sure he was just minding his own business. Wayne Patterson --- Her "business" was working on code breaking for the Imperial Japanese Army at the Second General Army Headquarters located inside the Army's Hiroshima Castle in Hiroshima. The Imperial Japanese Army's Second General Army and its Headquarters located in Hiroshima Castle was the primary target of the air bombardment attack with the MARK I Little Boy atomic bomb. The Second General Army and Headquarters were a prime target because of its essential role in coordinating and operation all Japanese Army military operations in Southern Japan and its responsibility for opposing the Allied OPERATION OLYMPIC invasion of Kyushu scheduled to occur in the last week of November 1945 or the first week of December 1945. Her role in working for the Imperial Japanese Army at its headquarters on code breaking war work qualified her at whatever her age was at the time as a combatant and a lawful object of military attack and subject to being injured or killed in any attack. The Imperial General Headquarters in Tokyo had already issued orders to murder all remaining captives in Japanese custody beginning about 20 August 1945 and the destruction of their corpses to escape accountability for the murders, which meant the murders of about 123,000 Allied prisoners of war, neutral civilian internees, men, women, children, priests, nuns, doctors, nurses, and more. The Imperial Japanese Army orders instructed the Army to herd the women and children into their bamboo or other shelters where they would be burned alive and their ashes hidden afterwards. Equally brutal forms of murder were to be used against the other captives. Following the atomic bomb attacks on 6 and 9 August 1945, Emperor Hirohito dispatched members of the Royal Family who held military commissions to the various Japanese commands to ensure that the Emperor's command to rescind the secret orders for the murdering of the captives was obeyed. This woman's participation in the hostilities with the Imperial Japanese Army and its Headquarters in the Hiroshima Castle is precisely why she and other people like her did not qualify as "innocent civilians" and why she was a legitimate object of a military attack. Her role in working for the Imperial Japanese Army qualified her as a victimizer and not as a victim in the war.
