Standing nearly alone? What about the British forces? Churchill was rare for a politician, but he was still a politician. He deserves credit for inspiring the British public, but he wasn't on the frontlines of the war.Maybe not THE hero but a unquestionably a hero. He gave them someone to rally around and helped forge a resilient national identity while under constant bombardment, standing nearly alone against a military that had just swept through Europe.
You are absolutely correct about the usage of the bomb, certainly in the amount of of lives lost. Japanese losses would have been catastrophic and it's possible their population would never have recovered from a full blown invasion of their country, based on the "fight until the last man, woman, and child" propaganda they had been bombarded with for the past decade. Not to mention the expected Allied losses.
Don't be pedantic, you know what I meant. The British as a whole were standing nearly alone against the Nazis, both on the frontlines and the homefront.Standing nearly alone?

You put your socks under your shoes?! I should try it that way! @nicksjuzunk was glaring in disdain at my socks on top look at the gym.When you put on socks and shoes. . . do you put each sock on your feet, then your shoes or do you put on 1 sock, then one shoe?
What kind of sick fu...
