Nobody Remembers the Land Mines in Japan

Nobody Remembers

When America dropped the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the argument for whether that was a humane thing to do, is still being debated. Many people said that we should have continue the war and sooner or later we could have overtaken Japan as we did Germany, rather than killing all those innocent lives.

But..what many people don’t know, is that the Japanese had developed a nonmetallic land mine that could not be detected by any known means. They planted these mines in random patterns across the beaches of Japan and along all possible invasion routes. Estimates of deaths from those land mines alone ran into the hundreds of thousands. They tried in vain to find a way to destroy them. Dropping bombs from airplanes in Europe failed.

According to Richard Anderson, a renown staticist who was working on the problem with the Defense Department at the time—

One of the reasons why the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan was that all their experiments and calculations showed that it was impossible to destroy these mines by any other means.

So…if history repeats itself…we may all wonder about Iran: Will we ever see another nuclear weapon used in our lifetime?

And is the reason why our Congress approves such an unconstitutional measure of using drones on our home soil—is because they know something we don’t?  Are there terrorists in the United States already with nuclear material? Some experts say it’s entirely possible.

Ahmadinejad has threatened to hit the ‘heart’ of America with some kind of devastation weapon.  North Korea…is threatening New York. Obama says nothing.

Today we find out that when Obama was told about the attack happening in Benghazi, he told Leon Panetta to do whatever they felt necessary, and then Obama took off at 5 o’clock and nobody spoke to him again, even though the attack went on for hours… which means:.

1) He’s the most incompetent President ever in the history of the United States and just went off to have his big dinner and watch basketball…or

2) He ordered the stand-down in Benghazi and sacrificed those men because he didn’t want it to get out that the ambassador was helping supply Al-Qaeda with arms and weapons before his elections, and everything that happened following that was a cover-up.

3) Both of the above.

Nobody finds it less than funny that after all these years, our government couldn’t have come out and just admitted that the Japanese had land mines that so well protected their island, we couldn’t defeat them from the ground. It would have made a lot more sense.  Was not revealing this fact a way to make us look big, and invincible?

“What we pretend to be defending as the “truth” is really our own self-esteem.”  Thomas Merton “No Man Is An Island:

So..what is the truth? Obama lies. Panetta lies. Hillary lies. Who do we believe? Dick Cheney, the most hated man in America for years, said that his worst nightmare was to wake up to a nuclear attack on an American City.

Nobody Thinks….Hell, I’m not sure what I think, but I do know one thing…I’d rather be drinking Rum & Coke on the beach in Hawaii than thinking about any of this…care to join me?
