I saw none of that at all., He was given credit where due and that is not the same as anointing any degree of sainthood. One could argue this was maybe hyperbolic or exaggerated, but he did what needed to be done, even though in hindsight, many oppose that one BIG decision. It had to be done, as the Japanese were given several chances and their pride was their undoing.

@DimitrisAndreou ... What this comes down to is the difference between a biography and a short clip, which is what this is. Nobody can ever argue that such a clip will adequately sum up anyone's life, but sadly we live in a society that is not so willing to take on a 1+ hour documentary on a president. My thinking is that this clip may inspire some to take that step and a deeper dive into a full documentary. This is especially true, with the 3 full generations who were deliberately NOT taught what really happened in history, as it does not make such a good activist.

@DimitrisAndreou ...? Nothing stopping you from making one 😸No doubt there are such videos and maybe at some point, PragerU[niversity] will make one.

@michaelwilliamson4759 .. Germany did not go through ANY lengths to prevent a war, rather they manufactured reasons to start one and then told the world..."we will stop after [fill in the blank] victory". Japan was told on several no-nonsense occasions that America was capable of great devastation and to surrender, as they had literally nowhere to go. They were driven back to their island nation and were surrounded by the allies. They either did not believe the Allies would do as proposed they would or maybe thought it was a bluff. Well, turned out it was NOT a bluff, as they forced the allies hands. This proved to be the only way to force surrender, as we had known well that the tenacity of the Japanese people was what was proven via kamikazi pilots and certain death assaults.
