To see me. I was happy to work we had been in a long war we had been attacked by the japanese the japanese people were not ice people and i was. The policy of the United States government at that time was to subdue the nation of japan. And i was willing to do anything i could do to help that. It was president s harry s. Truman who made the decision to drop the atomic bomb hed only been in office for a little under 4 months. A short time ago an american arab by in drought to run on hiroshima and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy for this but we have added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction that has been done is the greatest achievement of organized science in history. Here yet the grandson like of the president who decided to drop the bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki i think is going to see the legacy of. Ronnie more things he bought into the ground us drop the bomb we still use the thousands of japanese people they build it up they see so who is coming out of your life because. Of course i have to see i was going to decisions fit his personal life as i told you was the war the job of all please be enjoyed to this day because its. To be a. Teacher so yeah my wife calling us from the poison source says this must be done just you know. Yeah you know its the new way i felt. Did. You know. Some of it is real soldiers and is this.

With a sense of victory in the dollars were already looking forward to a postwar world by the polls done conference on the 18th of july 945. 00. American relations had been fairly good under Roosevelt Truman was an unknown quantity to stalin and this meeting marks a turning point in relations between the allies. Truman at potsdam did indicate to stalin that we had a new weapon he did not specify what it was and he believed that stalin did not know and stalins response was nonchalant which was well i hope you used to go to fail. Against the enemy what we now know from a variety of sources including former soviet sources is that stalin knew very well what truman was talking about through his own sources in style importance to achieve none of them have one but it was to cinemas that then ridicule anybody else they would not answer in 4 months or so has been saved is a distance from him at the store hes got them there wont be real so you will do that in the beginning at the last word because that is him and barnum swaim wish for you see what. Was in the car. Seat business is to ensure. Its own moments notice and. You can take any. Action. You care how can you cancel account i want you to stand there. Every night. And you have to go. And snatch a syringe your guide. Missionary. Grucci was delivering mail when a 2nd plutonium bomb called 1st month fell on nagasaki kids from the blast melted the skin on his bike and left footage of his horrific injuries has become iconic assume its hero is now a living symbol of the suffering caused by the bombs. And it is that data might. Get to. Where youre at to. Get an. Idea of collusion. Its going to. Have to i think. You know. This city was in the original targets for the 2nd bomb fights one was destined for the quarter but the weather was overcast a bit like today so the boxcar b. 29 changed course and headed to a secondary target nagasaki. Just 3 days after hiroshima on the 9th of august the 2nd atomic bomb exploded with a Destructive Force of 21 killer tons of t. N. T. And killed over 70000 of the citys residents. The comprehensive fire Bombing Campaign conducted before the a bombs had left japan in ruins the u. S. Already had the country blockaded and could soar from food and fuel. The u. S. To keep bombing survey that was done at the end of the work concluded that the japanese would have surrendered. Even if the bomb had not been used even if the invasion had not gone forward that they would have surrendered prior to november 1st which i think was the date for operational one pick the invasion of the home islands so why did the us drop the bombs thats what historians are debating and i think that truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to try to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender before the russians got in so the russians would not get all those concessions that we had promised them number one the number 2 and equally if not more important the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union. With each country looking to cause spheres of influence after the war relations between east and west were rapidly declining to a very korea lies that euclid poet equals political power on the world stage and documents from as early as 945. 00 suggest the allies would turning against each other. In the planning actually in october of 1945 and had chosen 20 targets in russia moscow and leningrad were also included in the target list early on and as i understand it just from talking to some of the more planners designate a ground 0 was to be either the kremlin itself or it was a power plant that was very close to the kremlin as the bombs got larger they would move the designated ground 0 to a point so that it would destroy more targets just with one weapon to. The instance Committee Just percent they said it was good it was so. Political diplomatic and so just an incredible lot about the. Secret their pups that it was the news from it that i looked. At it on the. Condition. Really should it come from. Some sinister connecticut where you can just. Sit in the same schools and use a 9. Point 4 when the foreseeable future war between the United States and russia will be the result of a miscalculation by recently just the capabilities on contention the United States and they will go mop up all the Different Industries senses in bush or us long time to. Some other solution. Where we come up with solutions to all the problems they cover on the other shows right there anyway today weve got a cold to the moon edition with a special guest mark valley incremental. The world is driven by dream shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. You know much like me and. And some know each is an 82 year old nick is sucky bomb survivor both he and his daughter travel around schools talking to children about the war. So now uses cartoons to help him share with a younger audience his experience of the day the bomb fell with. Their. I thank you. Salute to. All and not only much the. Saluki swamiji gun or a school board up doesnt need to feel sad it came back with what sticks did it and. So little can. We. Let us know kelly. For the get it you got there must a lot. But i do mate i would let it start to go. Back before that i started it how. They need us and this of the. 2 of them on narcotic mother would looked up look in the muck local good morning again. We hit it still you know i musta. Mocked local you know with the sun kind of war now as if you know much the words emits a smug sort of you so he did he any mortal. This can go away study the worst tuned or one or negated by so and there. Will be enough i already must this. Will need to guy night 2 more i get to meet on this group or get a cold one you must all punch in the when you move up also not i will miss you more god since you look at the you must will kill me well what then will. We get back when its in the way it did in this no was good us to make up the need. Well go on the day to day are they more Productive Work on the. Micro going on says or people study or she will one day i will watch let the force must support the what i see no. Good in the war in cindy dying well you know its. The what i said im getting i dont much. I think that the bombs were believed at the time to be necessary as general marshall who was head of the us military during the war said after the war. We didnt want to have to invade japan we knew we would kill many japanese and Many Americans would die as well. Though it was trumans just occasion to save half a 1000000 american lives that would otherwise have been lost if that invaded the mainland. What i dont understand is how people who have presumably studied the same documents of. Different conclusions about the bombings i dont understand it either to me its such a clear cut issue if you look at what the Us Intelligence was saying if you look at the comments of american leaders at the time in fact 6 of americas 75 star admiral generals who got their 5th star during the war record as saying that the bomb was either militarily unnecessary morally reprehensible or both you cant come to any other conclusion and that the bomb was not necessary that the soviet invasion was going to end the war that the u. S. Invasion was not going to begin till november 1st so we dropped the bomb that august 6th and august 9th intervention is not going to take place for 3 more months why do we do it why you have to conclude that we wanted to do it. Could agree to show me around the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum for brings back mixed emotions terrible memories of the bomb but also happy ones from her wedding which was held in the grounds. The Hiroshima City government to suggest that removing some of the exhibits over concerns that children find them frightening. But chilcote doesnt think theyre realistic enough. Stone to move. On or. You want to comment on the. Study. Scott. On the back. Everything. Is. Cool you dont think this had some. Questions in there sit out. There. Do i regret the atomic pression i regret we had to do it but i think we had to do it nordic and the war with a minimum loss of life if the same situation existed again exactly as then as it had back in 1945 yes i would go on i would volunteer for about some other fact i dont want to go war. Yeah a memoir with. It is its a personal its sort of the change from i you know i like most americans born in that time and growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and thats what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision to end the war and save american lives primarily but would otherwise likely be lost in an invasion of the main islands so i went from not giving it much thought at all to. Being confronted one day with with the reality that people lost their lives and in horrible ways. Japan is still counting the cost of the a bombs the governments makes Monthly Health care payments to the survivors to help with treatment not just for the physical effects of radiation exposure but also the psychological impacts. Many of them come to this clinic set up especially for the he in hiroshima. Clone that i knew i sound know in fact i know qatada to stay overnight aggressive. One day and nothing in the law or as i said move. To stand on water go to no quarter throw so he could i want to go below i thought as i got him to come then the next you know then got to the can i say since course of course or southern afghanistan theres kid on the corner if. You are. Gonna. Try to get out. And the door deal not. Given that you did something nice you know that. Or look at the bills or have the tank you. Plan to steal. Since in 2000. And skinner more to buying your p. T. S. D. They screwed up more the american or 13 the more needles on the doc now your not seen the money or wanted. To didnt see. This kind of sort of old school yarn. Stuff. After the war the japanese constitution was changed by the americans and its remained in place ever since including 9 which prohibits japan from having its own military. Well the country can still protect itself with its Self Defense Forces including its fleets which is partly based to the American Naval base in your corsica. Nowhere is the american incursion more evident brita street all the haunch as its known by the sailors is just a stones throw from the naval base. Any time baby i have no idea what that means. Is the place to go if you want to native or to go shopping at the army surplus store. And rock city seems to be particularly popular among your cusa because foreign guests. Strike the american citizen making the most of the downtime here 8. However the u. S. Base in okinawa is probably the most controversial and i suppose the sun. Is home 221000 Service Personnel more the morning 3 of all american soldiers based in the Asia Pacific Region on the locals want them gone back. To the room the end of august and on it theyre going to bring some of these marines. Is that something i mean you go out and watches and that oh its a death of a hiking and all they got to do is get there and one of the lot that ana he had to get there. But i got my stuff. And this was the with all of us has been mean thats if get up on all thats about the. You know you just i think you have all the hey i can pull it back if i must and i. I know but even a surprise on its own how much. I mean. When i go there they want to have an extra next that i thought what am i going to do this just since it was that i guess is the. Despite the atomic bombings in japan and the United States have an amicable and close relationship today however no incumbent u. S. President to visit to tear ashima on august saki and america has yet to receive an apology for the surprise attack on pearl harbor. Truman lived until he was 88 and stood by his decision to drop the atomic bombs to the day he died. So you dont think there will be this or no i dont think there will be i dont you know theres no harm in talking about it and i dont know that will ever be an apology maybe the 2 countries can find language that that that brings them together to say you know we acknowledge that serious hurt is done on both sides and we we own that and we are Going Forward it doesnt feel at this point that it will ever be a flat out apology from the u. S. To japan or the other way around i dont know that the United States has ever asked japan for an apology for pearl harbor or that they offered it so what do you think about america no no no you got the demo then this summer i guess you. Mean you were in the quarter no suckle crap and you can let me. Know although i sound like that go to the well here and he. Has not going to. Sign up with the one you know 2nd we are throwing them all. Now. For. Following the atomic bombing of 2 cities over 300000 japanese lost their lives. Plans to attack the us assad actually being carried out in which 20 cities were targeted including Population Centers like moscow leningrad. The number of lives lost would have been in the millions. Fortunately that never happened but it did mark the start of a new era the cold war. How can you explain love ive been to 82 countries i didnt 12 but i came here and on those 3 days i just filled with hope. And he kept pretty isnt it sick show that. I made my decision to come here because d i felt i knew i could build a new life here soon at the. Companies and. Goes a free man. God decided that this money is no good to be free. My one dream is that all my children d find the same kind of happiness i do. I love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it. I know that.
