The Nameless pre-Christmas Geek Quizz

Hint: They are all closely related in some way to the creation of a special device that did change the face of the world.

I was going to guess that they all had something to do with the A-Bomb, but I decided to be a dick instead. Is that close?

Actually, you're right on!.

They all participated closely to the history of the A-Bomb at various degrees. Now can you identify them all?

I have no idea who any of them are from their pictures, but I'm guess Oppenheimer (sp?) and LeMay (the piece of shit) are up there. I guess LeMay has to be in the last row.

Lemay is not.

Oppenheimer, however, is Damn, I thought that my little pre-christmas tingie would get a few more saddo residents to attempt some answers

They are not all americans... beside, the bomb throwing has been damn not necessary as the Japanese were already willing to surrender, it was more to pass a message to the russkovs but that is all another story

So back on topic, can you find out who are some of them, Lyle?

[CFH]

I imagine the pilot of the Enola Gay might be up there too.

I never said they all were Americans, I just said they were patriots.

Japan was NOT willing to surrender, have you ever looked at how many people on both sides were dying in the island hopping campaign building up to an actual invasion of Japan proper The bomb saved lives FACT...it wasn't much of a message to the Russians, they built their own bombs undeterred by the US having them already, so I fail to see your reasoning.

Why must everything be evil and war crimes with you I guess in your opinion we would have been better off losing World War II

Lyle... I can give you some very good lectures about it... one of my teacher in montreal was Michel Fortmann, one of the greatest expert about the nuclear question and nuclear history, he did showed us with documents proving Japan wanted to surrender but wanted to save the Emperor's life. The Americans knew it. The Brits too. They had nothing remaining, hell, they were charging machine guns platoons with their swords because they had nothing remaining. FACT. Meanwhile, not only wanting an inconditionnal surrender and to lend a message to the Russians (who, in conventional war had the advantage of 50 soldiers for one via the rest of Europe and 10 tanks vs 1. Everybody did fear the russians would invade the rest of Europe and Stalin did ponder it. Add to it that Truman wanted to justify the spending of 3 billions dollars (staggering for the time) for a military project that would have been useless otherwise, you have the reason why they wanted to drop the bomb. The thing to save life was just an added up propaganda. FACT. Japan had nothing remaining, almost no ammos, no tanks, no airplanes and no boats.

Lyle. Everyone can have a big stick. It's a matter of who is prepared to use it.
Not only did the US use it, they used it twice. Truly shocking.
