I don’t know why so many conservatives think that the way the Democratic Party behaved that long ago is liable to trigger me
But yes Japan was idiotic for not surrendering way earlier, after the Yamato was sunk, Imo Jima was lost, Germany surrendered, or even after the first atom bomb was dropped
Both my grandfathers served in the Pacific Theater and may have died in the invasion of Japan if the atom bombs weren’t dropped, so I’m not really complaining honestly
There’s an interesting semi-revisionist history that it was actually the USSR joining the war against Japan did it rather than the atom bombs. Point being that Japan figured it would much rather be occupied by Americans than Soviets
And that decision did work out pretty well for them honestly. They could have wound up as North Korea Pt. II
