  2. Yeah, well when I think about the kids that were aboard the Arizona I have no doubt that those P38's did America a great service. Because the Japanese moral was being lifted by his visits it was best to take him out asap. Who knows some of the Japs that ended up surrendering and then survived the war as POW's may have instead been inspired to do a suicide bonzi charge & killed themselves along with a few Americans as well. No telling how many survived the war because of those P38's. And furthermore once he was gone the Japanese were at a loss of what to do next. Which was a good thing. And the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki as terrible as it was, at least it brought about the end of the war instead of the the US having to invade Japan itself & the countless numbers of lives that would have been lost on both sides in that struggle. Although I will say that he was a great man & did his best for his country. But his greatest plan was also his country's biggest downfall & biggest mistake. He miscalculated the determination of the American people. When the US sees thousands of their sons killed they are not going to shy away & be scared. They are going to rise up & make you regret it. And that is why the US would accept nothing short of an unconditional surrender. That way we were able to find & prosecute war criminals. And get to the business of feeding the people of Japan that was being starved by the war as well. The Japanese was lucky that the Americans weren't interested in conquering the world. We basically just want people to be free to do as they please as long as it doesn't do harm to others. Which is why the US doesn't like Communism.
