Miriam,
Several of my uncles enlisted during WW II, believing that by
enlisting, they could name the field they would work in. None of them
were assigned to their preferences. One uncle was fluent in German.
He wound up on a floating dry dock in the South Pacific. Actually,
now that I begin ticking off all my uncles, one was placed in his
requested field. He joined the Coast Guard and requested that he
serve in the Northwest. He spent six years along the coast of
Washington and Oregon.

My friend, Art, enlisted in the US Military because he was Jewish and he
knew what the Nazis were doing to european Jews. But somehow, he was
arbitrarily placed in the Navy and sent to the South Pacific where he served
as a radio operator. When we discussed the nuclear bombing of Japan, he
insisted that it was necessary in order to end the war. He was 22 years
older than I. If he'd been younger and lived longer and had been able to
read some of the material I've read, like this article, I wonder if He would
have been able to change his mind.

Malcolm Gladwell Claims Satan Won WWII But Jesus Does Drone Strikes
By David Swanson
https://davidswanson.org/malcolm-gladwell-claims-satan-won-wwii-but-jesus-does-drone-strikes/
I wish I were joking, even a little. Malcolm Gladwell’s book, The Bomber
Mafia, maintains that Haywood Hansell was essentially Jesus tempted by the
Devil when he refused to burn Japanese cities to the ground. Hansell was
replaced, and Curtis LeMay put in charge of U.S. bombings of Japan during
WWII. LeMay, Gladwell tells us, was none other than Satan. But what was very
much needed, Gladwell claims, was Satanic immorality — the willingness to
intentionally incinerate perhaps a million or so men, women, and children to
advance one’s career. Only that and nothing else could have won the war most
quickly, which created prosperity and peace for one and all (except the
dead, I suppose, and anyone involved in all the subsequent wars or
subsequent poverty). But in the end, WWII was only a battle, and the larger
war was won by Hansell-Jesus because his dream of humanitarian precision
bombing has now been realized (if you’re OK with murder by missile and
willing to overlook that precision bombings have been used for years to kill
mostly unknown innocent people while generating more enemies than they
eliminate).
Gladwell begins his filthy piece of war normalization by admitting that his
first short story, written as a child, was a fantasy about Hitler surviving
and coming back to get you — in other words, the basic narrative of U.S. war
propaganda for 75 years. Then Gladwell tells us that what he loves is
obsessive people — no matter whether they’re obsessed with something good or
something evil. Subtly and otherwise Gladwell builds a case for amorality,
not just immorality, in this book. He starts by claiming that the invention
of the bomb sight solved one of the 10 biggest technological problems of
half a century. That problem was how to drop a bomb more accurately.
Morally, that’s an outrage, not a problem to be lumped, as Gladwell lumps
it, with how to cure diseases or produce food. Also, the bomb sight was a
major failure that did not solve this supposedly critical problem, and
Gladwell recounts that failure along with dozens of others in a stream of
rolling SNAFUs that he treats as some sort of character-building signs of
audacity, boldness, and christiness.
The goal of the “Bomber Mafia” (Mafia, like Satan, being a term of praise in
this book) was supposedly to avoid the terrible ground war of WWI by
planning for air wars instead. This, of course, worked out wonderfully, with
WWII killing many more people than WWI by combining ground and air wars —
although there’s not a single word in the book about ground fighting in WWII
or the existence of the Soviet Union, because this is a U.S. book about the
greatest generation waging the greatest war for America the Great; and the
greatest break came at the greatest university (Harvard) with the successful
test of the greatest tool of Satan our Savior, namely Napalm.
But I’m getting ahead of the story. Before Jesus makes an appearance, Martin
Luther King Jr. has to do so, of course. You see, the dream of humanitarian
air war was almost exactly like Dr. King’s dream of overcoming racism —
apart from every possible detail. Gladwell doesn’t accept that this
comparison is ludicrous, but calls the Dream of Air Wars “audacious” and
turns immediately from the idea that bombing will bring peace to discussion
of an amoral technological adventure. When Gladwell quotes a commentator
suggesting that the inventor of the bomb sight would have attributed its
invention to God, for all we can tell Gladwell probably agrees. Soon he’s in
raptures over how the invention of the bomb sight was going to make war
“almost bloodless,” and over the humanitarianism of the U.S. military
bombing theorists who make up the Bombing Mafia devising schemes to bomb
water supplies and power supplies (because killing large populations more
slowly is divine).
Half the book is random nonsense, but some of it is worth repeating. For
example, Gladwell believes that the Air Force Chapel in Colorado is
especially holy, not just because it looks like they worship air wars, but
also because it leaks when it rains — a major accomplishment once failure
has become success, it seems.
The background of how WWII was created, and therefore how it might have been
avoided, is given a total of five words in Gladwell’s book. Here are those
five words: “But then Hitler attacked Poland.” Gladwell jumps from that to
praising investment in preparing for unknown wars. Then he’s off on a debate
between carpet bombing and precision bombing in Europe, during which he
notes that carpet bombing doesn’t move populations to overthrow governments
(pretending this is because it doesn’t greatly disturb people, as well as
admitting that it generates hatred of those doing the bombing, and skirting
the fact that governments tend not to actually care about the suffering
within their borders, as well as skirting any application of the
counter-productiveness of bombing to current U.S. wars, and — of course —
putting up a pretense that Britain never bombed civilians until long after
Germany did). There’s also not one word about the Nazis’ own bombing mafia
later working for the U.S. military to help destroy places like Vietnam with
Satan’s own Dupont Better Living Through Chemistry.
Through the debate between carpet bombing (the British) and precision
bombing (the knights of the sacred U.S. mafia), Gladwell admits that the
British position was driven by sadism and led by a sadist and a psychopath.
These are his words, not mine. He admits that the U.S. approach failed
terribly on its own terms and amounted to a delusional cult for true
believers (his words). Yet we have to sit through page after page of what
Holden Caulfield would have called all that David Copperfield crap. Where
were each bomber mafioso’s parents from, what did they wear, how did they
fart. It’s endless “humanization” of professional killers, while the book
contains a total of three mentions of the Japanese victims of the triumphant
arson from hell. The first mention is three sentences about how babies
burned and people jumped in rivers. The second is a few words about the
difficulty pilots had coping with the smell of burning flesh. The third is a
guess at the number killed.
Even before he falls from Heaven, LeMay is depicted as murdering U.S.
sailors in a practice exercise bombing a U.S. ship off the West Coast.
There’s not a word about LeMay or Gladwell considering this a problem.
Much of the book is a build-up to LeMay’s decision to save the day by
burning a million people. Gladwell opens this key section by claiming that
humans have always waged war, which simply isn’t true. Human societies have
gone millennia without anything resembling war. And nothing resembling
current war existed in any human society more than a relative split second
ago in terms of the existence of humanity. But war must be normal, and the
possibility of not having it must be off the table, if you are going to
discuss the most humani-satan-arian tactics for winning it *and* pose as a
moralist.
The British were sadistic, of course, whereas the Americans were being
hard-nosed and practical. This notion is possible, because Gladwell not only
doesn’t quote or provide the name of or the cute little backstory for a
single Japanese person, but he also doesn’t quote anything a single American
said about the Japanese people — other than how they smelled when burning.
Yet the U.S. military invented sticky burning gel, then build a fake
Japanese city in Utah, then dropped the sticky gel on the city and watched
it burn, then did the same thing to real Japanese cities while U.S. media
outlets proposed destroying Japan, U.S. commanders said that after the war
Japanese would be spoken only in hell, and U.S. soldiers mailed the bones of
Japanese soldiers home to their girlfriends.
Gladwell improves on the supposed mental state of his reluctant bomber
devils by inventing it, guessing at what they thought, putting words in the
mouths even of people from whom many actual words are documented. He also
quotes but brushes quickly past LeMay telling a reporter why he burned
Tokyo. LeMay said he’d lose his job like the guy before him if he didn’t
quickly do something, and that was what he could do. Systemic momentum: a
real problem that is exacerbated by books like this one.
But mostly Gladwell glues morality onto his portrait of LeMay by eliminating
the Japanese even more effectively than did the Napalm. In a typical passage
like some others in the book, Gladwell quotes LeMay’s daughter as claiming
that her father cared about the morality of what he was doing because he
stood on the runway counting the planes before they took off to bomb Japan.
He cared how many would come back. But there weren’t any Japanese victims on
his runway — or in Gladwell’s book for that matter.
Gladwell praises LeMay’s behavior as more truly moral and having benefitted
the world, while claiming that we admire Hansell’s morality because we can’t
really help ourselves, whereas it’s a sort of Nietzschean and audacious
immorality that we actually need, even if — according to Gladwell — it ends
up being the most moral action in the end. But was it?
The traditional story ignores the firebombing of all the cities and jumps
straight to the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, falsely claiming that
Japan was not yet ready to surrender and that the nukes (or at least one of
them and let’s not be sticklers about that second one) saved lives. That
traditional story is bunk. But Gladwell is trying to replace it with a very
similar story given a fresh coat of weaponized paint. In Gladwell’s version
it was the months of burning down city after city that saved lives and ended
the war and did the hard but proper thing, not the nuclear bombs.
Of course, as noted, there’s not one word about the possibility of having
refrained from a decades long arms race with Japan, having chosen not to
build up colonies and bases and threats and sanctions. Gladwell mentions in
passing a guy named Claire Chennault, but not one word about how he helped
the Chinese against the Japanese prior to Pearl Harbor — much less about how
his widow helped Richard Nixon prevent peace in Vietnam (the war on Vietnam
and many other wars not really existing in Gladwell’s leap from Satan
winning the battle of WWII to Jesus winning the war for precision
philanthropic bombings).
Any war can be avoided. Every war takes great efforts to begin. Any war can
be halted. We can’t say exactly what would have worked. We can say that
nothing was tried. We can say that the drive by the U.S. government to speed
up the end of the war with Japan was driven largely by the desire to end it
before the Soviet Union stepped in and ended it. We can say that the people
who went to prison in the United States rather than take part in WWII, some
of whom launched the Civil Rights movement of the coming decades from within
those prison cells, would make more admirable characters than Gladwell’s
beloved pyromaniacal chemists and cigar-chomping butchers.
On one thing Gladwell is right: people — including bombing mafiosi — cling
fiercely to their faiths. The faith Western writers hold most dear may be
the faith in World War II. As the nuclear bombings propaganda runs into
trouble, we should not be shocked that someone produced this disgusting
piece of murder romanticization as a backup narrative.
