Obama: Enola Gay pilot Paul Tibbets the original terrorist

Hiroshima, Japan - During his apology speech at Hiroshima, where the United States dropped the world's first atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, president Obama referred to the pilot of the plane (Enola Gay) that carried the atomic bomb to its destination, Brigadier General Paul Tibbets, as the world's first terrorist.

"A lot of Americans like to toss the word 'terrorist' around towards religious minorities and anyone different from them. They easily forget that the world's first terrorist was an American serviceperson who dropped a terrifying new weapon of unimaginable power onto innocent Japanese civilians in this very city. That man is the shame of our nation," said President Obama.

Shortly after the speech, Obama went on to order that the plane itself be relabeled as a memorial dedicated to all the lives that were unjustifiably taken by U.S. forces during the Second World War, saying, "We should not gloat over the damage that we have done to countless people in Asia and Europe. Instead, we should reflect on what we know today about how we should have handled such problems with diplomacy instead of bombs."

The White House has since announced that Mr. Obama will be traveling to Dresden, Germany, to apologize for the fire bombings that incinerated the metropolitan area between the 13th and 15th of February of 1945.

Comrades, It is long past the time that America pay for the capitalists crimes it committed in Asia and Europe. The destruction of tolerant Nationalist Socialists regimes was barbaric and then enslaving those countries to the horrors of prosperity that followed when America forced capitalism down their throats!

HAIL OBAMA!

Tibbetts also highjacked the first openly gay B-29 Superfortress to carry out his mission.

My two cents on Hiroshima.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki come with a context. Millennials are likely to think that for sheer amusement President Truman (no, millennials, not Bush) ordered the bombings on peace loving Japanese horticulturalists. Paul Tibbets, who piloted the Enola Gay which dropped the Hiroshima bomb, once commented on his irritation at being criticized by reporters who didn't even know when the war was fought. Never mind why.

But let me provide a little background: Japan invaded China in 1937 and began a program of systematic genocide in the city of Nanking. Civilians were deliberately targeted, and Japanese soldiers literally competed with each other in scoring rapes and murders. The number of innocents killed may be in the hundreds of thousands.

Although Nazi Germany rightly earned their infamy in acts of inhuman brutality, their atrocities ought not to eclipse those of the Empire of Japan, especially in their brutal treatment of Allied prisoners.

By 1941, there was only one naval power in the world capable of thwarting Japan's efforts at dominating the Pacific, and it happened that we were it. Against Admiral Yamamoto's strong reservations, he obeyed orders and planned a brilliant surprise attack on Pearl Harbor (with simultaneous attacks on Guam and Wake Island). In other words, they started the war, and they bore the responsibility for persevering in the war even after their catastrophic defeat at Midway (which Yamamoto predicted almost to the day).

As the war drew to an end, pragmatic Germans became more and more likely to surrender. Not so with the Japanese. Their islands had been formed by the deities Izanagi and Izanami and were sacred. Their emperor was a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu. Shintoism assured them of a happy afterlife if they died a happy death, and what could be happier than dying for the emperor? One stranded Japanese soldier who surrendered decades later felt a sense of disgrace at having not served the emperor to the best of his ability. The Japanese, therefore, only fought the harder as we closed in on Japan, many preferring an honorable suicide to a dishonorable surrender. The kamikazes were but one example of their fanatic devotion.

The invasion that never happened, Operation Downfall, would have been the greatest invasion in human history. Allied planners anticipated 1,000,000 (one million) casualties before subduing the Japanese islands. Even after the dropping of two atomic bombs, the emperor was taken hostage in a coup led by a Japanese major who was ready to urge Japan to fight to the last citizen. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, the coup was overthrown, and the emperor's surrender speech was broadcast (some of the abandoned Japanese holdouts recalled reading the leaflets we dropped announcing the surrender, but dismissed them as propaganda). And speaking of leaflets, we often dropped leaflets warning Japanese civilians of impending bombing raids to minimize the death toll to non-combatants. To my knowledge, the Japanese did this neither in Nanking nor at Pearl Harbor.

Finally, I am fortunate to know two men who were witnesses to the war. One was an ambulance driver who was taken prisoner when Singapore fell in early 1942. He was a first hand witness to the brutality dealt out to Allied POWs, but he still urged his fellow prisoners not to take revenge on their captors when British paratroopers liberated his camp.

Another man I know served on the second USS Hornet (CV-12). After seeing several combat actions, he was reassigned to a minesweeper after the war was over. Why? SO THAT JAPANESE PORTS COULD BE CLEARED AND HUMANITARIAN AID RUSHED IN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! We took a defeated Japan and rebuilt them into a parliamentary democracy with a thriving economy - quite the opposite of how they treated their conquered territories.

We owe no apologies.

Dummkopf and Minitrue, thanks for the kind comments. It's a distinct advantage to be of an age to have known WWII veterans.
The ambulance driver was Canadian, but volunteered for service as an ambulance driver for the Australian army. He spent the war from 1942-1945 as a POW, his wife never knowing his fate until war's end. When he finally got home, he introduced himself to his daughter. He actually grew up in India, his parents being Methodist missionaries. He was well traveled, a Shakespearean actor, and always ready with some fascinating story.
The second man is still living, is in his 90s, and still gets around well enough to attend church. He was a teenager when he was assigned to the Hornet, and then he was reassigned to a wooden hulled minesweeper. He operated the radar which was used as a sort of GPS as they located and cleared mines.

Oh, the humanity, comrades! Where's the love for Nagasaki? I denounce Chuck Sweeney as an unindicted co-conspirator capitalist pig...

…One was Robert L. Scott, author of "God is My Co-Pilot." Another was ensign George Gay, the sole survivor of Torpedo Squadron 8 at the Battle of Midway. And also, among others, Paul Tibbets himself.

Commissars al Blogunov and Uberdave: wow, you know some people who witnessed history firsthand... Very interesting.

For the other comrades who did not have the time to read the wikipedia page:

As an armchair general I once saw a historical dissertation about midway:

Regarding ensign Gay, the sacrifice of his bomber squadron apparantly (according to many historians) drew the defending Zero's away so the subsequent waves of bombers had a chance to cripple the Japanese Carrier Akagi, thus swaying the advantage to the side of the US forces.

Crazy times... Can hardly imagine how it must have been to live and fight through such a terrible war.

I heard Gay speak at some function in Sarasota, Florida, and I have an autographed copy of his "Sole Survivor". I got to meet Tibbets at a Memorial Day service in Roswell, Georgia. Small world.

BTW, when I heard Ensign Gay speak, it was in the 70s, and the gist of his speech was on military preparedness which had sunk under Carter. At one point when he was describing the fateful mission, he said that the torpedo bombers were to rendezvous with fighter support at 19,000 feet. Then he held up a poster of the Douglas Devastator and said, "Now this thing isn't going to get to 19,000 feet with a hydraulic jack!"
He was nearly run over by a Japanese destroyer, and he remembered a number of sailors looking down at him pointing excitedly. Thankfully, a PBY found him in time.

Comrade Obama is confused about shooting in Orlando. He can't identify any motivation and wants all relatives of Paul Tibbets to immediately turn themselves in for questioning.

The bigger question - Does Dear Leader attend the Memorial Service or Golf?
