One step at a time

Anyone else have a drill sergeant who threw firecrackers, fireworks into the barracks while everyone was sleeping so they be prepared for and be used to enemy artillery attacks/bombing runs

Threw firecrackers outside never in😆

I'm not talking about some small fireworks some of them used to shake the whole barracks

You are still here

Yeah

so it must of been good😅

I mean on the server @Luckay

Were the nukes in ww2 actually justified?

I just want to see you guys opinion on this

Japan was never going to surrender if America didn't nuke them twice

Yeah that’s what I thought too, they didn’t even intend to surrender after the second nuke too...

Until the emperor announced they were surrendering

They actually made so many purple heart medals for the planned air land and sea invasion of Japan they were still handing them out in the Iraq war

It was a smart move not nuking Tokyo though, they venerated the emperor like a god

They didnt plan on surrenderin, amd we didnt wanna risk the lives of millions of human lives trying to take Japan with human bodies. Was the most tactical solution out there

Sacrifice a few thousand to save the lives of millions

Now both cities and Japan itself are thriving

Yep

One poor guy survived both

worked in Hiroshima then gets sent home to Nagasaki, lived to 93

@KumquatLord
That was the plan for Operation Downfall

@Zilla the Japanese military was actually willing to use every able bodied man and woman to defend the home islands

Mhhm

Like even though they are severely depleted in terms of arms (the Americans surely have more advanced weapons at this point) Japanese troops when conscripted with the population would immensely outnumber the Americans

Mhm

Not to mention the terrain which they will fight in, suitable to guérilla warfare, thus prolonging the war and causing more casualties

Even an illequiped army can be dangerous when using their environment

> Even an illequiped army can be dangerous when using their environment
@Zilla Yes!

a true classic

@Zilla you know the Indonesian army was very ill equipped compared to the Dutch and the British , yet we won our war of independence

Nice

Like this poster in my room kinda shows it
The top row of numbers is the number of killed
Second row is wounded
Last row is Missing/captured

We chain down our building up in this Mafk

Dam

We just had a guy hike the ravine here to snowboard the bowl and fell off one side. He fell like 1600 ft down the mtn and lived.
