Can you guess the anniversary? We did it 2 times. Should we have done it? Should we have done it again 20 years later? Should we DO it again? Should we let everyone know that we can do it again? I'll bet this raises some interesting responses. my answer is I think we should start testing again. Some dry land stuff maybe. It's been awhile... Comments ??

 

Am I missing something? Ill be the test pig and ask what you are talking about...

 

Dropping the Bomb on Hiroshima is the answer.

 

lance your close i say nuculear bomb testing

 

im glad we did...those bastards, remeber Pearl Harbor, im 100% glad...but no if we were to these days, the world would come to an end

 

We don't have a single member that "remembers" Pearl Harbor.

 

you know what I mean

 

i've been there so i somewhat say what happened or the results at least but before they brought us out by boat to the the ship they showed real video of when they blew up the Arizona. (thats the ship right.) but yea it was pretty cool to see the oil still rising from the ship

 

Would love to go see the Arizona.

 

I have, you stand on this big white memorial in the middle of the harbor, and in the middle is a gian hole to look down at it, and you can look over the sides, its pretty cool...i used to live in Hawaii

 

U.S. did the testing in mid July. Bikini Atoll was successful enough for the go ahead for use in war. It almost didn't happen because of uncertainties and minor malfunctions before and during the drop. After Hiroshima Japan still held out on total surrender. They were willing to do a military surrender which would have meant the emperor would still be in power. Truman said no way, so Nagasaki gets it on the 9th of August. That was the straw the broke the camels back. Discovery Channel has some excellent specials all week. They have some computer enhanced film of what it was like for those poor bastards during the initial blast. God, you would feel sorry for anyone within 5 miles of ground zero. I think that is where the term "wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" came from.

 

This really sucks its pouring ran and SAT doesnt work cant watch it,

 

actually it was the otehr way around, the US offered an Army Surrender right before the drop on Hiroshima, The Japs said no, US dropped the bomb, the japs still said no, then dropped on Nagasaki then they said we unconditionally surrender

 

If anyone is interested here's a good article about the birth and debut of the 2 little darlins we dropped on Japan.

It is very cool to see man. We saw it several years ago. I'm not sure what is freakier..Standing over a ship of that size underwater being able to see it, or standing over an underwater grave knowing how many dead people are under you. It is a very wierd feeling and nobody talked at all when I was out there. It is something I will never forget. Very cool, especially seeing the oil coming up. They do submarine tours of it too.
