Interestingly, all the guys in that pic were killed later that same day on Iwa Jima. Read Flags of Our Fathers
Intresting enough, that photo was a reinactment of the iwo jima flag raising , made in order to make the whole scene look more heroic. The real flag raising was no wear near as spectacular as that one. So the little fact given there was a bunch of bull.

Please everyone, shut up. Tripper, you are dumb for trying to lecture pyro for the tenth million time, pyro, not the best time for some of the commetns. Lev, you are still a fucking retard. Period. and for all the other people deciding to join in and raise their post count by saying stfu pyro or die pyro. We know you hate him, don't make my finger more tired by having to scroll threw your bullshit to get to actaul posts, with actaul content. [headexplode]boom[/headexplode].

Now rip, may a mod take a mop to the thread.

Wrong, the original picture of the iwo jima flagraising was a picture taken after the combat, there was a reinactment of it done for the statue as far as i know but the picture was taken as it happened and wasn't a reinactment.

You need to go to St. John's, Newfoundland or some of the small towns on the Avalon Peninsula. VERY noticeable irish accent.

Obviously it's not. The bombing of those two cities was to force Japanese surrender, and ultimately to avoid an invasion of Japan itself....it wasn't payback for pearl harbour.....The events were at different ends of the war.

The Japanese government at the time was partly to blame after the first nuclear bomb was dropped - They had a second chance to surrender but didn't. The war was clearly over for them.
