Snowman is feeling ... ( 2 months ago by naxalite)

Snowman is feeling very cold right now because he says the world considers him lower than all happy people who have a life. He's in need of a community hug for coming forward and expressing his unwanted and unimportant feelings and feelings. You have my vote for the "Get your head out of your asshole" award. Peace duuude!

Listen up, Snowman ain't got time tah be happy, 'cause he's leadin' an action packed life. He ain't got time to joke around while he's fightin' the alien ninjas, and defusin' the bomb set to blow up the world. You try tellin' jokes when you have to sew your arm back on when the hidden saw blade malfunctionizes mid-battle with an death probe.

Oi... The declaration of war from Japan was a day LATE! In all actualities it was sneak attack. The government wouldn't let our military go to shit for six months, if anything thats what they want the strongest. End argument.

1) Pearl Harbour was, after all, a military base (on occupied land, incidentally).
2) The war could have been ended earlier & without the atomic bombings if the US had been willing to accept a negotiated peace, rather than insisting on unconditional surrender.
3) The US airforce continued bombing Japan AFTER the Japanese government had officially and unconditionally surrendered.

I think its a sign of success when the Onion gets people to believe. Especially on a video like this - it shows how plausible it could be given our government.

"Pearl Harbour was, after all, a military base..." Yeah, it's ok to bomb a neutral party, as long as you kill soldiers instead of civilians. "The war could have been ended earlier...if the US had been willing to accept a negotiated peace..." Yes, if the US had let Japan hold on to the territory it conquered (a strategy also known as 'appeasement'. "The US airforce continued bombing...AFTER the Japanese government had...surrendered." Duh, because many soldiers refused to quit fighting.

Why do these comments get voted down? You know these comments wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without the gullables.

Hooya2
I didn't say it was OK, but BOTH sides did far worse things. The 'Rape of Nanking' & the fire bombing of Tokyo, for example.
The US could have negotiated and demanded withdrawal from conquered territory & long term disarmament. That could hardly be called appeasement.
The Japanese government had already lost & they knew it: that is why they were offering to surrender, which would necessarily entail major concessions from the defeated side.

1 point the ... ( 2 days ago by JRCN84)

1 point the Japanese government were not willing to concede was the fate of the emperor Hirohito. That is why they were unwilling to surrender UNCONDITIONALLY.
Having gained total surrender, the US occupation chose not to hold Hirohito accountable. That COULD be called appeasement. AFTER the Japanese government had surrendered unconditionally the USAF sent a final bombing raid over Japanese cities to kill a few hundred more civilians before formally acc
epting the surrender.

"The Japanese ... ( 2 days ago by Hooya2)

"The Japanese government had already lost & they knew it..." To defeat Japan's military, the US would have had to engage in an island-hopping campaign that would almost certainly have carried a death toll of over a million. That's a hefty bargaining chip, and it's one the Japanese had made clear after the Potsdam Ultimatum that they were going to use. That's why the statement 'necessarily entail major concessions from the defeated side' is utterly wrong.
