In 1944, Arnold was named a five star general. As commander, he traveled across the world to visit personally with his troops. He was also part of the negotiations at Tehran between the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Arnold ordered and oversaw the extensive firebombing of Japan prior to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He also helped ensure that Project Silverplate obtained all necessary materials and supplies.
Historians continue to debate whether Arnold favored or opposed the atomic bombings. Revisionists point to an interview on August 17, 1945, in which Arnold stated, "The Japanese position was hopeless even before the first atomic bomb fell, because the Japanese had lost control of their own air." On the other hand, it does not appear that Arnold conveyed any reservations about the bombs' use before Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Because he oversaw strategic bombing, Arnold likely wanted to emphasize its role in ending the war.
Leahy believed the atomic bomb would probably not work. After the atomic bombings of Japan, Leahy condemned the use of the atomic bomb for practical reasons:
"It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons." (William D. Leahy, I Was There, pg. 441).
普京视他为导师
老索一直认为,乌克兰,起码东乌克兰,特别是黑海沿岸是历史上俄罗斯人的鲜血浇灌出来的,从土耳其苏丹手里解放出来的。乌克兰民族是不存在的。
统一乌克兰后,下一个目标是哈萨克。哈萨克是游牧民族, 牲口走到哪,他们的帐篷就搭在哪,没有自己的国家。今天的哈萨克是布尔什维克,列宁制造出来的, 他们的土地都是俄罗斯人的。大批的俄罗斯人定居在这,今天,他们都被驱赶出来了。
不要忘了,三国干涉还辽
有些美国军事领导人对杜鲁门使用原子弹的决定纷纷提出异议。道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军在战后一再认为,从军事角度看,为了迫使日本投降而使用这种炸弹是“完全不必要的”,因为在那时日本无疑已到了彻底崩溃的边缘。艾森豪威尔将军、李海海军上将、金海军上将、阿诺德空军上将和英国前首相丘吉尔也持同样看法。战后美国战略轰炸调查处的报告更为明确:“即使不投原子弹,即使俄国不参战,即使不制定进攻的计划,日本也是会投降的。”
另外一些科学家和外交家则从政治上着眼来考虑使用原子弹的问题。英国著名物理学家布莱克特说,美国政府抢在苏联参战之前匆忙对日使用原子弹,“与其说是第二次世界大战的最后一次军事行动,不如说是现在正在进行的对苏外交冷战的最初的主要作战之一”。美国国务卿贝尔纳斯明确地声明说,亮出原子弹是为了使俄国在欧洲更加驯服。苏联学者认为,无论从战略上或战术上看,都没有任何必要使用原子弹。使用原子弹基本上只带有政治色彩,目的是为了显示原子弹威力,以便在解决远东问题上削弱苏联的地位。他们说:“建立美国的世界霸权,是使用原子武器的更大的政治目的。”

同样, 麦克阿瑟也是战后才这样说的,
战后有一段时间全世界都在反对使用原子弹,战时的将军们这时都开始向政界发展,反对核武器是当时的时髦

那个地方,就是苏军出兵的突击地域,几乎就是空城计。
美军造成更加重大,难以接受的伤亡,这是当时美军将领的共识,当然赞成投掷原子弹。hopeless 是说日军的处境,不是指日军抵抗意志的丧失,更不是指日军抵抗能力的丧失。在日本本土,将以陆战为主,这是无疑的。说日军 “hopeless" 就是反对投弹,太牵强了。苏军攻入德国本土之后,德军就已经 hopeless, 必败无疑,这在当时就是共识。但德军仍然浴血抵抗诺曼底,浴血坚守柏林,苏军和美军都伤亡惨重。
znr 说的对,非常重要的是,那些美军将领和政客的反对意见是在二者结束之后的反核潮流高涨之时,还是在日本投降之前。
