Nuklear bomb

Ok, I'll bite...

"The question is not whether the Japanese were going to surrender 'willingly', but about whether they had any ability to fight on. All the evidence suggests they didn't. "

So what? Spit out what it is you are trying to say.

What about that don't you understand, Jameson? It seems clear enough to me.

It may be clear enough to you AJ, but you haven't said whether you approved or disapproved of the use of the bomb. And if you are, in this context, please state why?
Your answers imply that you do not approve but you don't actually say so. I find it hard to work out where you are coming from.
The Americans dropped two bombs on Japan and it ended the Second World War. I am curious to know and have you explain an alternative scenario, that would have concluded the war quickly, if you think that what happened should not have done. You seem to be seeking some kind of scapegoat for those events at this late date and from a position of 65 years hindsight. Either you think Trueman was a mass murderer who had no need to use the bomb, or there is some other reason not yet touched upon which would explain why he did. Which is it?

I don't have to explain anything. If you can't understand my position from my postings, that's your problem, not mine. And please don't put words into my mouth. You aren't a mind reader. Actually, you barely seem to be any sort of reader at all, given that you've failed to understand what I've already written about Truman.
