Subdeacon Joe Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 My brothers and I might not be here except for you. I suspect that is true for a lot of people on this forum.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Yeah, but, and there is always a but, he still has that dollar he took from me. Or was he talking about a four legged buck?
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 If he hadn't done what he did Operation Downfall could have cost half a million men.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I can't blame Harry for that. Pandora was ready to leave the box already. He just didn't foolishly try to put her back in.
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 If he hadn't done what he did Operation Downfall could have cost half a million men. And that was just Allied casualties, roughly half a million in 90 day, of which 100,000 to 225,000 would be dead or missing. Estimates of Japaneses casualties run 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 for the same time.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I appreciate the fact he used it to save a lot of American lives. Even though my Dad was 35, farmed and had three kids they were about to draft him. Haven't studied the matter much but use of the bomb might have made Stalin back off a little in Germany and in Indochina. We killed a lot more people with the fire bomb raids anyway.
