even if its all buried under ground ??? oops you just been demoted private.

I'm saying for the future such insults from you I will report. You're new to the board. I once made a similar insult to another member. Someone warned me against it. I thought I should warn you.

so now you are going to try and imply that no one who did not fight in the war could know anything about the war. and since you did not, you have a lot of arrogant and pretensively authoritative posts to go back and reconsider.

My understanding of the history of the war is that Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945 when Hirohito telegraphed his ambassadors in Bern and Stockholm to inform the Allies that they accepted all terms of the surrender.

This is according to Rohers and Renzi, two historians of the subject.

you know something different?

OTOH, their government may have decided massive losses of the civilian population may have been a small price to pay to continue the fight. Their invasion preparations and their use of air, land and sea Kamikazes suggests they were willing to sacrifice massive numbers of their countrymen. Do you have anything that suggests otherwise?

and 1945 was modern. and oil can't be hid underground either. my !!!! what a 4 star you are..................

the ones imposing the blockade have the freedom to allow food into the island for the population. if they government decided not to feed them, the blood is on their hands.

now you are demonstrating a complete ignorance of the pacific war. One of Japan's primary motivations for expansion was the acquisition of new oil reserves after Roosevelt's embargo. If they had massive amounts of oil hidden, then, hmmm......

and yes, WW2 was a modern war. (only the largest one) (i am being nice by not responding with little insults like you) (it wouldn't be that hard)

your understandings should come from those fought and know. that's where i got it. can't you???? its not ALL on the net.

CHRIST man they put it ALL underground. logic dictates if you leave on top kiss it goodbye..............

yes, and historians record the information that comes from them.

so your account of the surrender process came from FDR?? you know him?

who do you know that was involved with (diplomatically) the process of surrender?

and, the rohers and renzi analysis of the pacific war is based on primary evidence and is not available on the net.

is there anything else i must explain for you?

not if they can smuggle it in. which they did. hey !!!! all the food went to the Army...................

i need to see some evidence as to Japan's massive hidden oil reserves. (i bet you will completely ignore this challenge, if you even understand it)

Yes, you are still a dreamer.
