FDR's Slaughter of US Troops

We've known that the Japanese offered surrender terms long before Roosevelt bombed them.

Also long before Iwo Jima and Okinawa.  

At Iwo, 6,800 Marines were killed and 19,200 were wounded.  The Japanese suffered 18,500 deaths.  At Okinawa, there were 12,000 US deaths and 36,000 wounded.

Total US losses:  19,000 dead and 55,000 wounded.

All AFTER the Japanese offer of surrender.

Here is the news report from the Chicago Tribune dated 8/19/45:

Release of all censorship restrictions in the United States makes it possible to report that the first Japanese peace bid was relayed to the White House seven months ago. Two days before the late President Roosevelt left the last week in January for the Yalta conference with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin he received a Japanese offer identical with the terms subsequently concluded by his successor, Harry S. Truman.

MacArthur Relayed Message to F.D.

The Jap offer, based on five separate overtures, was relayed to the White House by Gen. MacArthur in a 40-page communication. The American commander, who had just returned triumphantly to Bataan, urged negotiations on the basis of the Jap overtures.

The offer, as relayed by MacArthur, contemplated abject surrender of everything but the person of the Emperor. The suggestion was advanced from the Japanese quarters making the offer that the Emperor become a puppet in the hands of American forces.

Two of the five Jap overtures were made through American channels and three through British channels. All came from responsible Japanese, acting for Emperor Hirohito....--quoted at Vox

Then came Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Democrats have always been the Party of Death; there's the Confederacy, World War One, World War Two, Viet Nam, and the bloodiest of them all:  the War on the Pre-Born Babies.

If you have any Democrats in your neighborhood, it's smart to have defense handy.
