Trump doubles down on slain soldier comments: Obama didn't call John Kelly when son died

Maj Marty Hogan and SFC (Join to see) , if we're going to discuss Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we should put in context of the strategy and whether it was the correct one or an ill informed one. Neither were strategic military objectives. And as some critics using hindsight, wouldn't a bomb that could have been seen off the coast of Japan as a warning and the next one as close to the Emperor's home as possible been more effective? The southern locations of the targets and higher chance of success getting the aircraft to the targets played a role. Either way, Obama never apologized but showed empathy as expected of leaders remembering the lives lost in a war.

Maj Marty Hogan with respect Obama did not apologise to the Japanese when he went on his tour of Hiroshima he offered his condolences for the loss of life but did not offer any apologies from the US he rather pushed forth the narative that we must learn from the past and move foward. I remeber because some Japanese families where upset at Obama because he didn't apologize for the the bombing but Obama simply stated with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that this trip was about accepting what happened and moving foward.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - Every source one choose will give similar reasons with mild differences. Like this BBC historical source and this History.com source. Consistent theme between all sources and my own studies from my fascination with military history and strategy is location, terrain, target accessibility, low risk to aircraft, and the desire by military and political leaders to see the after effects on a live target. Note Hiroshima and Nagasaki had not been targeted by USAF regardless of military targets there. Note your article stated the US SecWar wanted to avoid targets of cultural significance regardless of strategic possibilities.
The fact that several sources will imply we used the bombings for research in conjunction with military strategy should make one sick to the stomach if any bit true.

Major Woods. I would not know a fake store unless it was so far out in left field that it was totally unbelievable. I like to watch the news but stopped that a few years ago.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - Yet for 8 years former Pres Bush was blamed for EVERYTHING.

LCDR Gordon Brown 2LT Louis G. - And what were the responses for that?
"Obama's in charge now."
"He's already making excuses."
"He's the president now. George W. isn't."
I love how so many of you have short term memory when it comes to someone you support but can remember minute details about someone you hate. BLUF & and like you said 2LT, "If it's good for the goose..." Obama COULDN'T use the blame game for long because as a leader, you have to eventually take responsibility even if you were bequeathed a shit sandwich. Trump is not and will never take responsibility for anything he does or doesn't do and shows that daily & people like you two will always find ways to blame Obama for why Trump's a dud instead of insisting he step up or step off.

2LT Louis Gonzales - He did not spend the entire 8 years blaming Bush. He did sometimes in his first year but nowhere near as much as Trump blames Obama for EVERYTHING bad.

Bush, was indeed, the blame for everything.
