Re: Something from history that decent Americans need to see

I wonder. It was close as it was. Information came out long after the war that the Japanese military weren't ready to quit yet, and it was only because the Emperor managed to get the surrender message out to the people that it finally came to an end. If the Japanese military powers had successfully stopped that transmission, the war might not have ended "just yet". It was inevitable of course--- with the Red army coming through Manchuria and the Americans coming from everywhere else, Japan couldn't win. But, the Emperor's message stopped it from being a lot worse than it already was.
