some Pearl Harbor Day thoughts.

some Pearl Harbor Day thoughts.



During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, “We the People of the U.S.A.” produced the following:

22 aircraft carriers,
8 battleships,
48 cruisers,
349 destroyers,
420 destroyer escorts,
203 submarines,
34 million tons of merchant ships,
100,000 fighter aircraft,
98,000 bombers,
24,000 transport aircraft,
58,000 training aircraft,
93,000 tanks,
257,000 artillery pieces,
105,000 mortars,
3,000,000 machine guns, and
2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

It’s worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama Administration couldn’t even build a web site that worked.

Ouch.

And it cost 50 times what World War 2 cost.

The United States never invaded or conquered Japan. They surrendered.

MacArthur had his office in Tokyo and the Japs surrendered on the Missouri parked next to the Statue of Liberty.

Ugh, I have no fucking idea why I'm bothering with this but...

Sanity_Sam, the original two posts were pretty fucking funny Hahaha I'll give you that.

WWII was not WON by the Russians, nor was France invaded to stop the Soviet Union from gaining control of mainland Europe. The Soviet Union acted like a frozen wall that deflected wave after wave of Axis military advancements. Once the US and Britain were in France and Germany was being advanced upon from the East and South simultaneously did Russia really begin to advance westward.

While it's correct that Okinawa was Japanese territory, we didn't actually set foot on mainland Japan. It's the difference between attacking the Florida Keys and mainland America. Also, Japan was not rendered unable to fight. They were still very much able to but were pounded into quitting by mega-weapons. We were still prepared to invade the mainland which would have cost millions more Allied lives. Luckily Japan didn't want to get their balls nuked off and threw up their hands.

And yeah, we weren't the only contingent to invade Europe on D-Day, but to make it like we were the minority in that operation is butt fucking retarded. Our ships, our planes, our diversion, three of the most famous Generals in the history of the world (Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton). If England was anywhere near capable of being the majority of that invasion, it would've happened years earlier. You could argue, quite accurately, that the United States was the driving force to victory in Europe. Until we entered and helped get things rolling, France folded as did mainland Europe and England/Soviet Union were held in stalemates against Germany and Italy.

Worse case scenarios about "millions of allied lives" aside, Japan did not want to accept or suffer the horrendous kill ratio that allied forces enjoyed over the Japanese armed forces.

The Japanese air defenses opposing an allied invasion were grossly exaggerated. Japanese ground force threat numbers were exaggerated as well, though they allegedly had 65 divisions on the ground they only had equipment for 40, and ammunition for 30.

The huge civilian defense force that would allegedly faced the most battle seasoned amphibious forces ever created would have been mowed down in massive unacceptable numbers.

Yes Okinawa was a small stepping stone but it was a big enough foothold from which to launch and support Operation Olympic in the Southern Island of Kyūshū.

It is true the Japanese did no want to get nuked again. There were at least 6 Fatman Plutonium weapons available for use in the ground invasion of Japan.

Cool... Just seen too many retards that jump to conclusions and learn history straight from their high school history books. I see where you were going with what you originally said now.

We couldn't have won WWII under the present ROEs, thus this sailor would never had had this opportunity.
