The most horrendous thing was that Japan had actually agreed to surrender, after the first nuclear explosion went off above hiroshima, and that the States went on with Nagasaki for no discernable reason what so ever. Well, aside from wanting to test out the new biggest baddest boom.
@Serris+Eico: I'm pretty sure a simple misunderstanding is going on here, Serris is saying that now, an area that had been irradiated 60 or so years ago has less of a negative impact than eating unhealthly, And Eico is saying that nuclear radiation when applied directly is going to cause radiation sickness and kill you a hell of a lot faster than a angina attack.
Oh and you can't really compare to chenobyl the elements used in a nuclear weapon,those used in a nuclear reactor are as about as different as Hydrogen and fucking Gold. Aside from the fact they both produce radiation. Herp derp.
On Topic: Honestly, the fact that this has gained as much publicity as it has, sickens me. I don't care if you are patriotic, saying this shit is moronic. The real problem here is that a bunch of rednecks got together had this good little laugh amongst themselves, and then posted it online where other rednecks saw it and promptly agreed, this was then seen by a news group and was widely publicized prompting even more people to think the same thing. It's another case of media insanity, not helped by the WWW.
And on the topic of the whole WW2 thing, the war was a joint effort, if britain and other european countries had not been fighting from the start there would have been no war left for america to help with, and the actual D-Day plan was entirely of british design, however america provided much of the manpower.
Oh and the Nazi nuclear project was the most advanced at the time until the site was inadvertantly bombed, completely by accident. One of the great lucky strokes of the war.
