We had TWO and dropped both of them, Fat Man and Little Boy.
Your knowledge of history is quite poor.

Patton's statement was incorrect. Nazis were already defeated at Stalingrad in January 1943. So the aim of US invasion was to prevent USSR from occupying the whole of the Europe.nuckinfutz » 13 Aug 2022, 9:54 pm » wrote: ↑What Did patton mean when he said we defeated the wrong enemy?
OR...are you a deranged ****. Everything is Trump politics to idiots like you. The politics of the 1940's were nothing like the politics of today. It didn't matter which party was in power or who was specifically running things to Patton. He despised all politicians, regardless of party. Patton never said, "Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth. Liberal Democrats are the lowest form of politicians." He may have said the first part but he never said the second part.ConservativeWave » 17 Aug 2022, 2:47 am » wrote: ↑ I think it was because General Patton saw the DEMOCRAT Party as a THREAT to Democracy, and to the peace of the WORLD, JUST as much as the NAZIS were... and so, he WANTED to turn his army to face the Democrats, and WIPE them off of the FACE of the EARTH... BUT, was stopped by those in charge !!
OR... was that the Russians ??
IF PATTON ONLY KNEW THAT HE WAS MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR EFFEMINATELY RAISED PUSSIES LIKE YOU...HE WOULD HAVE SWITCHED SIDES...!!!nuckinfutz » 13 Aug 2022, 9:54 pm » wrote: ↑ Only serious WWII historians are invited to this thread:

third was fired off testing wasn't it before sending the other two to be used. If I remember the argument in history at the time some scientist of that period thought it would scorch the sky and end all life in this atmosphere because the chain reaction wouldn't be limited to just the location it went off. Why it was called a doomsday device.Huey » 17 Aug 2022, 1:46 pm » wrote: ↑ There were actually at least three. If Japan did not surrender after the first two the third would have been used.

And in what if scenarios, in case of war with the red army, we would have built three dozen more to end the war quicklyHuey » 17 Aug 2022, 1:46 pm » wrote: ↑ There were actually at least three. If Japan did not surrender after the first two the third would have been used.
