THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY.....towards the end of WWII, President Harry Truman faced a rough decision. the results of this would change the balance of world power to what we know it as today. 'ol Give-'Em-Hell-Harry made the right decision, and on 8-06-45 we nuked Hiroshima.....
.......and this was the beginning of the end for the Japanese. and those scumbags deserved it, too. anyone disagree? suppose we talk about the Pearl Harbor Raid, 7 December 1941?....or what happened at Wake Island, or the implementation of Kamikaze warfare against the U.S. Pacific Fleet? still not convinced? let's discuss the Bataan Death March. i'm telling you, those people were brutal, and they got what they deserved. I think it's too bad they surrendered after only 2 blasts. but we did get to show the entire world that we have the BOMB and weren't afraid to use it, dammit, that we were willing to vaporize 100,000+ people at a time.......
I also found this interesting tidbit - - it appears to be some kind of postcard from master of destruction Colonel Paul Tibbets.....
......so for this week's "SUNDAY BIG BLOG", I wanted to commemorate this occasion with a little tour of modern Japan! first, here's another photo taken immediately following the blast, before the effects of radiation began to set in.......
...sweet, huh? .... next, let's take a little look at what Hiroshima looks like today....
....next, here's a look at some mutants honoring their mutant dead at a mutant nuclear holocaust memorial.....
....and here's a photo of Grandma at a local Rice-Cake-Eating-and-Sake-Drinking-Competition.....
.....and this is Grandma's farm....
....I can also show you what Japanese prostitutes look like these days.....
....and there's our photographic tour of modern-day Japan. just remember, they asked for it. that wraps up this week's BIG BLOG. feel free to use these images for a slideshow.
