I like the B-29 super fortress bomber, as, this plane


was the plne that did THIS to japan and ended the war against USA-Japan.


...worlds best bombs ever dropped....

yeah the B-29 superfortress was the devil... the US employed them to drop nukes... retarded... also, i dont think US would have survived the Battle of Britain with their mustangs and superfortresses... US was the best on ground, british was the best on air and ground (for allies) including tactics and fighter/bomber pilots experience and veterancy.

You tell me that ten times as many people wouldn't have died if those nukes hadn't been dropped. Tell me.

Ten times that many people wouldn't have died without the nukes (you told me to tell you so I did)

And the USA would have survived the Battle of Britain if the Germans would have nuked the crap out of it. Hate to tell you but the United States isn't in Britain. They weren't worried about the Germans attacking them in Britain. But just for the record, one of the best pilots to fight during that battle was an American pilot. One of many who bested a lot of British pilots. And I'm not saying anything against British pilots either. They are good. I would rather be a British pilot than be an American pilot. British planes don't require as much maintanece and aren't as likely to break down during flight.)

Germans  wouldn't have gone as far as nuking Britain as they believed in there own superiority.

Even tho us British only got a small island we did better then ANY country would have done with what we had at the time, the yanks knew nothing about German tactics or weapons and were as useful as an inflatable submarine (at the start of the war) after a few stupid mistakes  and some major ones the yanks fitted right in and done well, but you gota remember we needed ur help as much as you needed ours. and they are facts.

That's sort of what I said, except the pilots from other nations did help a lot. Britain scared Hitler into calling off the attack altogether. If he would have gone ahead and landed his army, he would have won, then taken Russia out. America would have to fight the entire central continents area to win. They would probably have lost because Hitler would have gotten the jets and the other tech that he ised the battle of the bulge to accomplish (It almost worked then, but they needed fuel.) Hitler would have died later because he had so many health problems (siphylis, terrets and several other diseases) So yes the Brits probably were the best fighting country in the war. On top of scaring the Germans out, they were also supplying Australia a little too, because Australia had no real army or navy. (It had only 1 battleship and a few light cruisers.) And Britain still survived.

That is true; a US invasion of Japan was estimated to cost 1 million dead (not dead and wounded, but dead).

Plus the fact that people are still dying today from the bombs. The Japs were dumb enough to rebuild things on the same ground as where it went off. Therefore the are getting radiation from it. And radiation is bad.

there isnt alot of space in japan to go build cities, and not much was known at the time about the sideeffects of radiation exposure due to A-bomb. one could say it was the perfect place to go find out the long term and short term effects of an A-bomb would be on human life.

and the dropping of the 2 A-bombs by the US was arguably the biggest war crime committed in WWII, on par with the holocaust. It was the deliberate targeting of civilian population centers to inspire terror in a nation. It could be called the greatest nation sponsored terrorist attack of all time...from a certain point of view (to quote ben kenobi)

It precipitated the cold war, and fortunately for us the cold war remained cold. but it was a close call.

And those million american lives were not nessecarily in jeopardy, because there is evidence pointing toward japanese surrender before the A-bombs were dropped. It is highly debatable.

You're right there. But I'm just calling them Japs because I'm too lazy to type the rest out.

The Japanese people were extremely honorable. And extremely brave. Iwo Jima is exactly what would have happened.

Maybe, but they did hint at maybe surrendering before we dropped the A-bombs on them.
