Obviously, you either didn't read the articles I cited or you only briefly skimmed through them. Clearly, your mind is closed shut on this issue,...
And here are articles that debunk the arguments made in your links: Signals Intelligence and Pearl Harbor The Case for Pearl Harbor Revisionism...
I see that Takao responded to my last reply by simply ignoring the evidence I presented in my last reply. Let's just restate the facts: The...
First, let me address a common argument used by Truman apologists, an argument that Takao has cited in this thread. Truman apologists emphasize...
I have not dropped out of this discussion. I am busy with efforts to rally support for Ukraine while another Democratic president, Joe Biden,...
No, they did not. Are you aware that General Eisenhower, Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, General Lemay (oddly enough), Admiral Leahy, General...
Okay, let’s deal with Takao’s false claim that the Japanese peace feelers in the months leading up to Hiroshima were all meaningless low-level...
No, it's just that this timeworn argument was answered decades ago. It is a silly, deceptive argument, and the fact that you would repeat suggests...
HUH??? Just HUH??? It is hard to fathom how you could deduce such claims from Wilson's article. Anyway, some two months before Hiroshima,...
I was honestly surprised to see such blanket acceptance of the Roberts Commission's long-discredited claims in this forum. I had to chuckle when...
Well, well, now this is curious indeed. Yes, I've read Japan's Longest Day. Have you??? I ask because the book, written by a team of 14 Japanese...
This is a perfect example of Frank's egregious, bald-faced distortion. If you read real scholars on Japan's surrender, such as Butow, Brooks,...
As I’d mentioned, the best book available on Emperor Hirohito, the workings of the WW II-era Japanese government, and the struggles between the...
That's mighty crass verbiage from someone who is defending a position that most scholars on the subject have rejected as demonstrably false....
LOL! Uh, the U.S. Government officially claimed that Lincoln was killed by a conspiracy, a conspiracy that included John Wilkes Booth, and the...
Sorry, this isn't 1948. The point, again, is that it was the Soviet invasion that persuaded the militarists to immediately call a meeting of the...
This would have raised all kinds of troubling, problematic questions, not to mention the fact that an ambush where we whipped the attacking...
And how does one explain away the account of John Burns? In 1941, Burns was the head of the Honolulu Police Department's Espionage Bureau. Burns...
The problem with all this is that it ignores the well-documented fact that Marshall and Stark deliberately led Short and Kimmel to believe that an...
Oh. My. Goodness. This is what you get when you combine arrogance with ignorance. After I prove that your arguments are erroneous, as I'm about to...
