Much as I cannot stand Obama for his negative opinion on this country. I must say that quite a few of our kids have been exposed to the same radicals as Obama. By going to public schools , universities and colleges.
Rare is the school that teaches true history. Most of it is revisionist. Example how we got Japan to surrender during WWII. They like to teach that it was uncalled for as Japan was ready to surrender anyway. But we wanted to drop the bomb to scare Russia at the time. The brutal truth is there was a faction in Japan that wanted to carry on the war even after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They rarely mention if ever that the atomic bombs actually saved lives.
As the US island hopped their way towards Japan. The Japanese defenders began to display a fanatical resistance to each invasion. Allied leaders ( ignorant of the Manhattan Project ) extrapolated that an Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands would cost a million American lives. Since the other invasions it was roughly estimated that 10 Japanese were dying for every 1 American. So its not that hard to say that 10 million Japanese would have been killed in a homeland invasion.
Japanese school children were being trained to attack US forces with sharpened wooden sticks. Can you imagine the carnage ? Certainly a lot of people did die with the dropping of the 2 A-bombs. But it was a lot less than 10 million.
Those of you with children in school. Pick up their history book and read post world war II era and see if the actual truth is being taught. I have almost a 90 % chance in being right when I say these facts will somehow be omitted. America will be portrayed in a rather bad light for this fateful decision.
As a side note ever notice how Liberals never bring up Ted Kennedy's driving record ?
