Da_man Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^Going off what he said, It wasn't nescecarilly (know i spelled that wrong) the best course off action, but it seemed better than the alterntive of millions of civilians and soldiers dying. I think that a better course off action would have been to take out, i.e assassinate, thier power base, like the military dictators, and the one leader dude whos name escapes me.

Totenkopf Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You don't mean Emperor Hirohito, do you? Another "famous" Japanese leader was Tojo, though he was relieved of his postion (Prime Minister) in 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totenkopf Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well, considering we didn't have any real assets in Japan to do that then, it would have been difficult/impossible. Adm. Yamamoto was essentially assassinated when we got tipped off that he was flying under light escort and his planes were pounced by American fighters (p-38s) that shot down the bomber he was flying in at the time (no survivors).
