Obama fails to grasp—as do many Americans today—the realities of the suffering Japan wrought back then.

The Japanese were barbaric enslavers, torturers, rapists and murderers of all captives, civilian and military. American POWs held by Japanese were 45 times more likely to die than those held by Germans. m/r

Hiroshima: A Tale of Two U.S. Presidents


Obama's attack on Truman's necessary decision.

June 6, 2016  James Zumwalt

  One week into office, President Barack Obama apologized to the Muslim world declaring, “we have not been perfect.” Traveling the globe as president, he continually blames America for the world’s ills.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, veterans groups opposed Obama’s May 27 visit to Hiroshima, Japan, where America dropped the world’s first atomic bomb, bringing an end to World War II.
Although Obama promised he would not second-guess President Harry Truman’s August 6, 1945 decision to use the weapon, he did. This should not be surprising—it was proffered by self-confessed liar (concerning the Iranian nuclear deal) Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes.
At Hiroshima, Obama said the “scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.” Supposedly, the morality of dropping the bomb was lost upon Truman. Later, Truman challenged critics to stand upon the keels of Pearl Harbor’s sunken battleships where remains of thousands of young men, never given a chance to live full lives, are entombed and opt for a costly invasion.
