According to Kyodo News, the Organizing Committee of the Tokyo Olympic Games revealed on August 1 that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would not respond by calling on athletes and Olympic-related people to observe silence on August 6, Hiroshima Nuclear Explosion Day during the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Previously, the Hiroshima City and Hiroshima Prefecture nuclear explosion victims' group agreement would submit a written request, hoping to call for "silence" at 8: 00 am15 on the anniversary of the atomic bomb dropping.

This report caused a heated discussion among netizens, who all said:

Shouldn't we celebrate the victory of the fascist war?

The suffering of the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is entirely due to Japanese militarism, and they cannot do without their own sins.

There are no ghosts under the atomic bomb.

In recent years, Japan has always dressed itself up as a victim of World War II, repeatedly stressing that it is also a victim of militarism, and has never reflected on the collective action of invading other countries, including the Japanese people at that time.

This is about Japan's current national conditions. For a period of time after the war, most of Japan's anti-war sentiment (attention is not introspection) can be analyzed and summarized into two types:

1. Reflection on why Japan was defeated in World War II?

2. Take a clear-cut stand against all wars.

Including Japanese movies and anime, the so-called anti-war is also this kind of thinking. But when you think about it carefully, what is missing in these two kinds of thinking is actually the most critical part, and it also requires the Japanese government to clearly express its views to the people: what Japan did during World War II was wrong, and this kind of behavior itself led to Japan's defeat.

Japan still does not recognize comfort women or the Nanjing Massacre. Instead, it honors the spirit of war criminals at the Yasukuni Shrine, and politicians pay homage to it every year. As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were bombed by atomic bombs, they were also used by Japan to dress up as miserable faces and describe themselves as victims of war!

This attitude is not only held by officials and politicians, but also by people under long-term brainwashing education.

This reminds us of the speech made by retired Major General Charles W. sweeney (1919-2004)1995 in the US Congress. The name of this speech is "There are no murderers under the atomic bomb"!

Charles sweeney is an American pilot who dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. In his speech, he discussed why the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, clarified the prejudice of all kinds of love words, and argued that dropping an atomic bomb on Japan was a just move!

"There is no ghost under the atomic bomb" also began to spread from then on!

Charles sweeney is the only pilot who has participated in two Japanese atomic bombings. He was the right pilot of the pilot Colonel Tibbets in the Hiroshima bombing and the formation commander in the Nagasaki bombing.

Charles sweeney said in his testimony:

I think President Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan not only conforms to the situation at that time, but also has the moral necessity to overwhelm other possible choices. Like most people of our generation, the last thing I want to happen is war. Our nation is not a knight of militarism, and we don't long for that kind of glory. When China was struggling in the Great Depression, the Japanese began to conquer its neighbors-what was the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle"? Fascists always use the most beautiful flags to cover up the most despicable plots.

This "common prosperity" was achieved through a brutal all-out war against China. As a country, Japan fantasizes that it is destined to rule Asia, so it should occupy the natural resources and vast land of Asia. Japan slaughtered innocent men, women and children without mercy or hesitation. In the terrible Nanjing Massacre, hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians were slaughtered. These are all facts.

Charles sweeney also said in his testimony:

Why is the history of the Pacific War so easily forgotten?

Perhaps the reason lies in the continuous distortion of history and our collective memory. Fifty years after the defeat, Japan rashly claimed that they were victims, and the Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Nanjing massacres were essentially the same thing! Generations of Japanese have no idea what their country did in World War II. This can understand why they don't understand why Japan apologizes.

Unlike Germany's attitude of pleading guilty, Japan insisted that it had done nothing wrong and its behavior was dragged down by the situation at that time. This attitude shattered any hope of truly healing the wound. Only memory can bring true forgiveness, and forgetting may risk repeating history.

Through carefully planned political public relations activities, Japan now proposes to change the word "VJ Day" to "VP Day". They say that this word will make the end of the Pacific War look less special to Japan.

Charles sweeney said in his testimony:

I don't want to deny that many people died on both sides. I am not proud or happy about the cruelty of war. I don't want the people of our country or enemy countries to suffer. Every life is precious. But I think such questions should be asked to Japanese war criminals, who pursue their own glory at the expense of the Japanese people. They started the war and refused to stop it. Shouldn't they be ultimately responsible for all the sufferings and disasters in Japan?

Perhaps if the Japanese really understand the past and realize their country's responsibility in the war, they will see that Japanese war criminals should bear the responsibility of the war. The Japanese people should give the people of the Far East an answer, that is, they imposed the disaster on the countries of the Far East and finally on Japan itself. Of course, if we work with the Japanese to obliterate the truth of history, then this will never be done.

If Japan does not ask and accept the truth, how can Japan live in peace with itself, its Asian neighbors and the United States? During the atomic bombing mission, my subordinates and I firmly believed that we would end the war. We are not happy. But a sense of responsibility and mission, and we want to go back to our families.

Finally, Charles sweeney said in his testimony:

Today, I stand here to testify, not to celebrate the use of the atomic bomb, but on the contrary. I hope my mission is the last time. As a country, we should be afraid of the existence of atomic bombs. I feel scared.

But this does not mean going back to August of 1945. In wartime, President Truman has no obligation to use all possible weapons to end the war when the enemy is stubborn and cruel. I agreed with President Truman's decision then and now. In the years after the war, President Truman was asked if there was any other choice. He said loudly:No. Then he reminded the questioner: Remember, the victims of Pearl Harbor had no choice!
