Tornado Alley (PROG)

[blackhawks]

This point remains at the heart of the arguments in my posts that there was no patience, no forbearance, no stomach left among the American public for sparing the Japanese whatever wrath the American military needed to unleash to bring the war to a close before another single mother's son had to be sacrificed.

Even after the bombs and the Soviet invasion, some of Japan’s hawks weren’t ready to stop fighting, according to some historians.

IF a prolonged blockade and further casualties from kamikaze attacks had ensued and the American public found out about the unused atomic bombs, after further casualties and the conclusion of the war, there would have been holy hell to pay.

I don't discount the importance of the perspective of time in the writing of accurate history, neither do I underestimate the fury of the moment toward the end of very hard and very costly slogging in the Pacific War.
