Comment on USA Football Victory Over Japan “Revenge for Pearl Harbor” by Anonymous:

Ummmm Japan knew since 1942 (yes, that early) that they could not win. Their refusal to surrender in the face of constant defeat to a superior enemy caused their destruction. Japan made it plain to America that it would take the destruction of their entire armed forces to defeat them and so America granted their wishes. WW2 was a naval war as far as the Pacific goes and Nagasaki a port where they made military ships (like Musashi) and so a perfectly legitimate target. Hiroshima was a bit of a reach but what alternative would you have taken? Tokyo or Osaka? The death tolls would have been horrendous. Japan should have surrendered after Midway when it lost the bulk of it’s fleet and their refusal to do so led to the invasion of Okinawa and the bombing of mainland Japan.
