Note that the flights to drop the bombs were unchallenged ... also Tokyo was being 'bombed at will'. The war was already over.
The Japanese air force was defeated, did that stop the Japanese from fighting on okinawa? I mean with no air force or tanks to speak of okinawa was a cake walk for the Americans right? Also the Japanese didnt waste AA shells on single American bombers becuase they assumed that they were recon flights and not on a bombing mission.
You take facts of history and instead of interelating them with the reality of what was happening at the time you attempt to use them as single threads to support your distorted views. Examples:
- You quote American Generals but dont take their bias into account or even the context of their discussion
- You site American air supperioty as a sign the Japanese were done, the reality was completly different the japanese were quite willing to fight without tanks, or airplanes helping them. These people were not the french.
In short instead of looking at all the facts from an event and attempting to find an explanation where everything fits, you pull single threads of facts and attempt to use them to draw conclusions while ignoring the lions share of the evidence.
Once again reality disturbs your view of the 'truth' (BBC quote marks added form emphasis)
America has made mistakes this was not one of them, find something else to justify you American hate with.
