I mean, Americans unironically think and are taught in school that nuking Japan was best thing that happened in the war and that they're heroes for killing all those Japs and saving the world. I'm surprised it took this long for one of their politicians to suggest this, actually.

They convince us all it was a 'necessary evil' and that it was actually the more humane approach over any alternative, that much more people would have starved and fought to the death if we didn't nuke them...

They also completely fail to mention how the top generals of the Pacific theater were against the idea, that it wasn't needed to win against Japan as we already had a total blockade, and that they had already intercepted transmissions that showed the at the emperor was willing to surrender beforehand

I actually scrolled back to make sure this was The Onion. I’m just defeated that it’s not.
