"You did the right thing. You know the Japanese attitude at that time, how fanatic they were, they'd die for the Emperor ... Every man, woman, and child would have resisted that invasion with sticks and stones if necessary ... Can you imagine what a slaughter it would be to invade Japan? It would have been terrible. The Japanese people know more about that than the American public will ever know." - Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, speaking in 1959 to Paul Tibbets, who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima "It's very regrettable that nuclear bombs were dropped and I feel sorry for the citizens of Hiroshima but it couldn't be helped (shikata ga nai) because that happened in wartime." - Emperor Hirohito, 1975, speaking to the media in Tokyo "I now have come to accept in my mind that in order to end the war, it could not be helped (shikata ga nai) that an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki and that countless numbers of people suffered great tragedy." - Japanese then-Defense Minister Fumio Kyūma, who is from Nagasaki, speaking in 2007, about both atomic bombs being dropped "But they also showed a meanness and viciousness towards their enemies equal to the Huns'. Genghis Khan and his hordes could not have been more merciless. I have no doubts about whether the two atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary. Without them, hundreds of thousands of civilians in Malaya and Singapore, and millions in Japan itself, would have perished." - Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore "There are voices which assert that the bomb should never have been used at all. I cannot associate myself with such ideas. ... I am surprised that very worthy people—but people who in most cases had no intention of proceeding to the Japanese front themselves—should adopt the position that rather than throw this bomb, we should have sacrificed a million American and a quarter of a million British lives." — Winston Churchill

Geez, if you appreciate the man, at least spell his name correctly.

I've just discovered this channel in the last few hours. These videos are done extremely well, and Mark Felton is both highly knowledgeable and very thorough. This is YT at its absolute best.

@evand6817 Your original post is one of the most informative, well-written, fascinating comments in the history of YouTube. I read it several times. Remarkable.

Every one of those highlighted in this video were not actually Jewish, as Judaism follows matrilineal descent. All those mentioned here had non-Jewish mothers.

@cameronbaldwin5690 Get rid of nukes? That's a really bad idea. The US needs to be a well-run #1 superpower, that's my takeaway.

@ヤマトウズメ-r1o Dude, you are possibly the most brainwashed human being alive. Are you the Japanese soldier who is still on a beach somewhere still fighting the war?

@ヤマトウズメ-r1o Not only are you a fool, but you're also terribly unoriginal - you need me to write your material? Not that your version makes any sense, as there were no US soldiers fighting on islands after the war who hadn't heard the news of the Japanese surrender. So even as a troll, you're a failure.

@gusloader123 How so? Please explain.

@Steve Olive That's what the Russians want people to believe. But the nukes mattered a lot more to the Japanese than the Soviets did. The Soviets were quite weak at that point. Remember, they couldn't even defend their own country against the German assault from far away. Only the winter stopped that.
