You may be shocked to learn this, but in August of 1945 the US dropped 2 nuclear weapons on Japan

[JVS]

I just thought I'd mention this often forgotten fact. Especially because those people in GD NEVER talk at all about these events.

[Capn Sunshine]

1. This is an important reason Iran must never have nuclear weapons!

Only madmen would use them on other people. We should know

[rug]

5. Although, think of all the American lives it would save if we nuked them first.

[Crazy Dave]

6. Some value all human life

An American, Japanese, Iraqi or Iranian life has neither more or less value than the other

2. . . .

3. only a moran forgets that fact

[NoPasaran]

4. Well, I'd Tivoed "The War" and meant to get around to watching it someday

But what's the point now that I know how it freaking ends?

[JTG of the PRB]

7. Is GD done with the whold "Centrist/Moderate Democrats" thing already?

I thought that one was going to last for a week! There was such potential!

Sign... Once again, cooler heads/boredom prevails.

8. Was that before...

or after Germany attacked Pearl Harbor. :evilgrin:

[taterguy]

9. If you don't know when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor then you don't know much about history

Stop goofing off on the Internet and go read a book

[electricmonk]

10. I skipped class that day

and went to the Olive Garden instead.

[taterguy]

11. Did you skip reading comprehension class too?

My post said to read a book. Start with Admiral Blutarsky's TOGA TOGA TOGA. It's a minute by minute account of the infamous day when the US Navy floundered.

12. let him go

he's on a roll

[taterguy]

13. I will not let ignorence go unchecked

There's too much of that already in society
