The granddaughter of the man who flew the Enola Gay during World War 2 is speaking out.
Quick, let’s interview the grand daughter of a pilot who dropped nukes on a city about the deletion of plane photos and get valuable, important insight into the situation!
JFC, this gotta be one of the most pointless forms of journalism, just trying to get a story out that makes absolutely no difference.
I don’t know Lady, I think dropping a nuke on a civilian population is pretty shameful.
Erasing history is shameful, even if that history is shameful. People rag on Japan for not properly teaching about their role and atrocities in WWII, and with good reason.its the same reason neonazis think that they were the good guys in WWII, americans think they were the good guys in Vietnam and the korean war, etc.
I’d love to hear your take on why the USA was the bad guys in the Korean War.
Are you parroting the statements of the North?

South Korea was a fascist state run by collaborators from the IJA occupation. Enslaving your population to fight in another nation’s civil war and chain atrocities while MacArthur argues for the nuclear extermination of China, which you tried to invade after beating the North Koreans, is generally considered a bad thing to good people.
That the Kims established a monarchy after being embargoed for most of century is what you call the benefit of hindsight, and I can tell you one thing, allied intervention on South Korea behalf sure wasn’t done with the assassination of their dictator twenty years later in mind.
I wouldnt call the US, the “good guys”, but just better than the alternative.
Yes as was invading China and the South Pacific and then launching a surprise attack on another country.
You’re right though, because a shameful thing happened in the past we ought to ignore the shame happening now.
Good point.
Not the point I was making but lets pretend it was: the peasants who got nuked didn’t invade anyone. You’re doing the same thing Israel does with Palestinian civilians.
Good point.
The fascists invented the concept of total war and then cried about it being applied to them in turn, as they always do.
A) Revolutionary France invented total war.
B) Pretty sure there wasn’t a committee keeting involving every man woman and child in Japan to decide how they were going to run the country.
Revolutionary France invented the levee en mass. However the concept of Total War is much much broader than that. I could accept an argument that the levee en mass was a step on the road toward total warfare, but it’s just silly to think it’s the same thing.
